Festival Lineup Quotes

When you think about a festival from a comedian's perspective, it has to do with who else does it - that's number one. The second consideration - and this is kind of crazy - is: 'What's the food like? What is the town like? Is it walkable? Is it easy to get around?'

It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.

I'd never been to a festival till I played one.

My favourite two festivals have always been the Big Day Out and Summersonic in Japan. The Big Day Out is a little more fun because it lasts longer. It's like an abbreviated version of the Warped tour because you get to play with the same people every day, which is really fun.

My one experience with Lollapalooza was in 2009 - it was actually the first music festival I've ever been to.

The guy who runs Big Day Out doesn't like us for some reason; I don't even know why. We do all the other festivals, and we enquired about it. Who knows, maybe he'll eventually crack, but maybe not. We're just going to keep knocking on his door late at night saying, 'Come on, dude!'

I really do try and play as many festivals as possible.

That's my dream - to play Coachella... not as a guest but as me!

Download was one of the best festivals I've ever been to.

I want to play more festivals.

At a festival, some people are just there because they're waiting for, like, Calvin Harris to come on later.

You'll see an erosion of rock 'n' roll for sure... if you're playing a mainstream festival, you don't want to be the rock guy when everyone else is talking about Swedish House Mafia.

I aspired to playing at Glastonbury, not just the Camden Palais.

There's just a completely different vibe at festivals. Everyone gets to hang out and enjoy their favorite music all day. I really do try and play as many festivals as possible!
