i wish i was going to wacken ive been to download every year since 2003 but the best atmosphere of a band ive ever seen was napalm death in the stage at download. may be on the extreme side but the noise was absolutely amazing.

Tell ya what Mike wacken isn't much more expensive... Download is what, around £170 for the ticket? Wacken is £250 per person and for that you get the festival ticket, camping, and all travel and transfers from your nearest pick-up point (theres dozens in the UK)!! Well worth it!

i haven't been to many but i've seen placebo, the verve, stereophonics, radiohead, moby and green day

out of all of them i'd have to say the verve were by far the best..front row + richard ashcroft =

forgot to say i've seen westlife too 3 times

Oasis and travis were both good. I also went to Leeds last weekend, and my personal favourites there included Funeral for a Friend, Fall Out Boy, Razorlight, and RHCP. There will be a few more clocked up at Leeds this year.

I think one of the ones I want to see most are Foo Fighters.

Nice one, cheers mate!!

Just looked them up on Wikipedia.... seems that Audioslave disbanded last year and Zack De La Rocha has returned to reform Rage Against The Machine.

Audioslave's first album was brilliant but they deteriated over the next two IMO.
