As some of you may know, Faith No More have reformed and will be touring Europe in June. In honour of this great reformation, I too will be going on a European tour. Well, to London and Vienna anyway. To the Download and Nova Rock Festivals to be exact. Sure, I haven’t actually booked tickets to either festival yet, but that will be done in the next few days and I’ll be going to a travel agent tomorrow to find out about flights. It appears that travel companies don’t like you booking stopovers online for some reason and I’m still kind of hoping there’s a way that I don’t have to go from Vienna – Sydney via London, since it’s kind of in the opposite direction (more so than some other options anyway).
So, why two festivals? Well, the Download festival was announced first and I have someone to go to that with. And the Nova Rock festival has possibly the most awesome lineup I have ever seen. Not only are Faith No More playing, but also Nine Inch Nails and Chris Cornell. Three of my favourite bands in the one festival! Way too good to pass up. Now I’m just hoping that Chris Cornell doesn’t play too much stuff from his new album.
*update 12 March: Nova Rock & Download festival tickets now booked. It’s all happening!
*update 13 March: Vienna hotel booked. The single rooms looked about the size of my bathroom. I figured I could afford the extra $10 for a double, so I have a spare bed if anyone wants to join me!
*update 16 March: Chris Cornell has just announced that he will be playing at the Download festival. Hooray! Now I get to see him twice (previous wish about not playing too much stuff from the new album still applies).
* 2nd update 16 March: Flights booked! I even get to fly on an A380. Yay! I promise this is the final update for this post.
Here’s some music to make you jealous (or not, depending on your taste in music):
