Not as good as the edinburgh festival.
It's about Music, not comedy. It's different and cannot be compared.
I watched some last night and thought Muse were excellent. Would love to see them, but I am not going to the shed known as the NEC
Many years ago, I used to go to Reading and it was Ok but I preferred Glastonbury.
We have our own Beer festival here in Peterborough this week and it includes live music. I went Tuesday night. It was OK.
The pub near us used to have a beer festival, but they have closed it down to build a ringroad.
They also sold stowford press, the best cider in the world ever.
