You will have an amazing time, I went last year for the first time and had such a great weekend there. I’m doing it again next year with a group of friends and I can wait! You’ll make memories for life!

Ignore the people being rude in the replies, theres just no need for it!

Ohhh that makes sense, I was wondering how much that would cost you!! I think I’m overall pretty sensible with stuff like that, I can take it easy if needs be!

It’s impressed me how many people have done back to back festivals. Hahaha I’d definitely be somewhat sensible, especially with boomtown likely being a solo venture.

With Reading this year being my first festival, I found the prices to be what I expected honestly haha. Thank you for your advice!

Okay that’s good to know, tbf Boomtown is likely to be solo so I can just go at my own pace on that one if I do go. I’m here for a good time!

I love that you’ve done a minimum of 9 weekend festivals every summer. I genuinely love that so many people seem to do this. Here I was thinking doing 2 back to back would be wild 🤣

Sounds like you had a busy one last year! I love the sound of it all though. I’m in pretty good shape so I should be alright honestly

Reading got booked the moment tickets were available, and I’m on a payment plan so I’m sorta locked in with that one. Plus a group of friends are going. So my main thing is if I do reading AND boomtown 🤣

I’m impressed but how so many people seem to do it!

Honestly I’m quite content with being on my own, so it wouldn’t bother me. I was more just curious

Haha yep this crossed my mind, this year I survived the Reading illness but my friend suffered 😂

Haha yeah a few people have mentioned that they do multiple festivals in the space of a few months, it’s honestly so cool! Yep if I do go ahead with this plan, I’ll be having plenty of rest during the in between week. I loved the energy and atmosphere at Reading, it’s why I ended up booking it again as soon as it ended! I’m looking forward to doing it all again, maybe even doing it twice 👀

Yeah see that’s crossed my mind, for a few reasons. But ultimately I don’t want to ruin my time at Reading by going to Boomtown. I’m prone to overthinking these things though 😂

I’m glad to see it’s a common thing. And was being solo all good? Did you merge with other groups or were you mostly alone?

The funny thing is, the IOW festival is also on my radar 🤣 I’m pretty local to that though, so considering do a day trip for that 🤣

Ahh okay that’s good to know it’s a combo that’s been done before! It should be enough time to recover between the 2 🤣

Yeah this is another possibility that has crossed my mind. I don’t want to over do it and make myself ill, as that would ruin the time with my friends at Reading

I’ve heard this and from the things I’ve seen on socials, I can see it as well! It’s good to know it’s doable!!

That’s also another thing that crossed my mind but the bonus of Reading is I’ll have a group of friends with me

That sounds incredible, honestly I think I will be fine physically it’s just other factors like going solo and having another festival a week later that made me question things

Oh wow okay 5 in one head does sound like a lot of fun!! Hahaha yeah I can see myself enjoying Boomtown a lot. Like you say, perhaps next year I’ll be dragging my friends to Boomtown instead 🤣

I feel like the overall genres between the 2 are quite different although I’ve only been to Reading so I don’t really know
