Agent Orange Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Foos will be headlining that night so will be last up. Been to Leeds festival a few times. Expect crowds, annoying people and expensive food/drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Personally I wouldn't take an 8 year old to the Leeds festival. I've been to a couple of BIG Foo Fighters gigs and they were excellent, the fans are pretty cool too. At the Leeds festival here's more than just Foo Fighters fans and the with all-day (or weekend) drinking and other activities, it's not exactly the ideal place to take an 8 year old. Myself, I'd wait for a Foo Fighters gig, it's something you'll have to decide for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Make sure you bring some ear plugs. That way if it's too noisy for your boy, he (&/ you) can pop them in and carry on watching the show. It's never too early to start looking after your hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosxuk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Oh alright, dad. I've seen enough gigs where kids are sitting on the floor with their fingers in their ears and eventually having to drag their parents out of the gig because they've had enough of the noise to know how useful a 5p set of disposable ear plugs can be.

butterball Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Gutted! I'd love to see them and so would hubby again. My baby is due end of July and it'll just be too soon to leave him/her though We're going to see Stone Roses in June when I'll be a few weeks from giving birth and I'm praying I can go to that and don't have to miss out that. Have fun, sounds fab xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFKvsNixon Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 hes really exited that hes going to see his hero , mr grohl You'll be OK as long as you stay at the back of the crowd. I've been to Leeds a few times in the last few years and I regularly see young children there, not as many as you see at Glastonbury though. Foofighters will be paying from around 21:00 until 23:00 on the Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutMe Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi...i have been to leeds festival and have seen loads of parents with young kids enjoying the day:headbang: However, I must say as a parent of young kids myself, i wouldnt take them. By the time the foo's get on it will be late....11pm ish....its absolutely chockka around the main stage and when we were there for kings of leon, people were getting crushed. Also, if you are just going for the day, there will be a huuuge queue to leave....we waited 2 hours for our minibus to get to pick us up...and then another hour to leave the car park. My advise is to wait for an arena tour....or if you have to go, stand right at the back and leave an hour before last song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
