What concerts are a must to see in England or Eastern Europe?

I am planning on going to either England or Europe next year with a few friends. So far Ive heard of download festival and fields of rock. Are there any other concerts that are a must to see? Any suggestions?

The Glastonbury Festival in Somerset (England), it’s on at this time every year (the last one finished just a week ago) and it’s big.. VERY big. Tickets aren’t cheap - £145 this year but it’s a massive event on a 900 acre site.
Even though there are tens of thousands of people at the event, you may not be able to get a ticket - book well in advance.

The one downer is that it often rains heavily turning the site into mud; I’ve never been to it even though I’ve had the option to go in for free and it’s just a few miles away, but everyone who goes loves it even with all the mud and rain (some seem to love it BECAUSE of the mud!) Boots, umbrellas and and towels are essential but maybe next year it will be blazing sunshine (it’s been a monsoon all summer in England - global warming?) but it’s a 50/50 chance.
