Rather than have to deal with generic rock/metal festivals like Download, Sonisphere &Reading/Leeds, I'd like to give a thumbs up to a 3 day heavy music festival I've attended this weekend called Temples Festival in Bristol.

A city centre venue, top bands (Converge, Sunn O))) & Earth headlined the main stage), but loads of other excellent bands across the myriad of genres in "heavy" music.

In its 2nd year, so with ArcTanGent as well, there are some great, well-run independent festivals in the Uk, that will run for many more years!

Cheers to Francis Mace, the promoter & his team, & I'll be back in 2016:)
