Apparently competitive eaters, like Kobayashi, eat small amounts of food prior to their huge pig-out session in order to stretch their stomach muscles.   It’s no secret that SXSW is right around the corner, but did you know about the two festivals taking place this coming weekend (start tomorrow)?

There is the second annual fundraiser, ‘Harvest of Hope Foundation Music and Arts Festival’, which takes place on March 12-14th and located at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds in St. Augustine, Florida.  The line-up includes bands such as: Freelance Whales, Bear in Heaven, Dr. Dog, Broken Social Scene, The Mountain Goats, Rogue Wave, Anti-Flag, Sea Wolf, Delta Spirit, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Dead Confederate, A Wilhelm Scream, Portugal. the Man…and more.  Check out the lineup here.

Than there is ‘Foburg’, the music festival organized by The New Orleans Indie Rock Collective that takes place on March 12-14th at Frenchmen St in New Orleans.  The line-up includes bands such as: Caddywhompus, My Name Is John Michael, Sun Hotel, The Pharmacy, The Bears of Blue River, The Blue Party, Silent Cinema, Brass Bed…and more. Check out the lineup here.

So if you’re heading to SXSW maybe you can stretch your belly with one of these festivals, and if you’re not descending upon the city of Austin on the 17th, perhaps you can fulfill your appetite with either Foburg or Harvest of Hope.

Glastonbury Festival 2009: June 24 – 28
Worthy Farm – Pilton, U.K

Glastonbury is 900 acres of music and art. It’s been around for 35 years and it quickly became a hot spot for hippies that were coming from the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. Later they built a giant pyramid that served as a cowshed and animal food store when the festival was not going on. The festival has consistently grown over time, and has thus had to sometimes change locations to accommodate the growing crowd.

Anyone interested in buying a ticket has to register with the festival via their web site or through the mail and provide a photo of themselves (in an attempt to cut down on ticket reselling).

Partial Line-Up:

Neil Young
Kasabian
Spinal Tap
Blur
Bloc Party
The Ting Tings
Lady GaGa
Friendly Fires
White Lies
Animal Collective
The Horrors
The Rakes
Fleet Foxes
