Right, here's my little dilema.
I want to go to Download festival. A lot. I like a ton of the bands that are playing and would no-doubt have a kick-ass time.
However, my A levels begin the next week, which are rather important to me and I need BBB to get into my uni of choice.
Is taking 3 days out to go to a music festival a stupid thing to do a week before important exams?
Your opinions please.

George Best.
Go for it. Revise like an ethnic up until the time and then you can chill out over the 3 days.
"revise like an ethnic" :-)
I like that one.

I've been looking at London gig listings and there's a few gigs I want to go to around the time of my exams (end of first year at Uni) and I'll probably go to a few. I'm not going to one that loads of my mates are going to that's the day before an exam, I'm just going to see that band (Flogging Molly) in Portsmouth in a few weeks, before my exams start.
But a few mates are gonna stay in my room at Uni after they go to the London gig, as they have nowhere else to stay in London, and that is the day before my first exam. So they best not be too drunk...

Just go to Download anyway. It's right in the middle of my bloody GCSE's but I've still decided to go. I actually have to miss the first day of it because of an exam, good thing most of the bands on that day absolutely suck.
Don't do it!
You need breaks and rest while you revise, but not 3 day long breaks!
Do you genuinely believe you'll get any revision done at the festival?
Do you think you can comfortably get the grades you need without it?
Can you imagine yourself at a second-best uni on a course you don't like, and being glad you shafted yourself on he exams?
Festivals in revision time are like procrastiaion and thus like masturbation - it's fun, until until you realise you've just f***ed yourself.

Go for it, what's 3 days?
Do some extra work now if you must.
But three days of extra revision isn't going to make that much difference to your grades. That's one day for each subject - and if you're anything to me, most of would be spent finding other stuff to do anyway.

I probably won't start revising until about 3 days before each exam, and I need AAB.
