Who is going to Reading Fest?
 

Tell meeee.
I am going for the first time ever this year, and only on Sunday because Brand New <3.
(And I missed out on tickets for Friday, gutted, no Placebo).

Anyway, which of you lot are going?

I believe im on the guest list for Friday and Saturday.

I always miss Sundays of festivals.. i dont mind so much, cos most of the bands on Sunday have played at my work recently.

Im going to miss Sunday of download too.. bad times!

Guest List?! That's really impressive!

Not Reading, but Leeds for me, I've got a weekend ticket

*pointless post*

*raises hand*

yeah i know.. im so so so SO lucky, because all i do is manage the bars here, but the whole management team gets VIP guest lists to most festivals because we put on a lot of shows for the different promotors and stuff.

Youre coming to Reading Jack? o rly?!?!

i think my bf is on the guest list for reading this year,lucky boy!

Lucky Shane.. i might accost (is that a word) him.... unlucky Shane!

Jack, you're going?
awesome shiz :]

I are commethe :]
Early pass for me and all so I'll be there from wed-nes-peter drinking too much probably :]
YAY DRINKING *ahem*

We should have a reading meet that dosen't end up with one person passed out in my tent and me standing on reaper bridge for two hours yelling and the third person not turning up.
That would be good :p

YAY BRAND NEW!!!

I shall be there for the weekend :)
Trying to get hold of an early entry ticket at the moment.
And i'm in all agreement of a meet...
xx

ha i can imagine that phone call:
'Olivia,some strange girl who knows you is kidnapping me!' :P xx

Flem, I demand we meet up on teh Sundays.

Other than that, I may just come and stalk you all.

I demand we do also.
You can come to our skanky camp site (it will be by then) with a fire made out of rubbish and tin cans and get drunk :]

You got tickets Tiff? =D

I have two tickets for the Sunday, so I may sell one & drag Rory along. Because no one else to go with. And Flem, I don't drink, so sucks to that idea.
BUT YES.
I DEMAND TO MEET WITH FLEM AND JO.
And Nat, you should come.

I'm not a huge fan of the lineup. =(

So far only bands making me go "ooo" is Kaiser Chiefs and Eagles Of Death Metal and I've seen both of them live and met Jessy from EODM. =D

Who's playing on the day you're going again?

I WANT TO COME AND SEE KINGS OF LEON.
:(

So jealous.

Oooo Alex! You've reminded me to download some Kings Of Leon! (Y)

I'd see them live. =D

I WANT TO SEE KoL.
Despite the fact I've already seen them twice.
I WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN!

I'm going Sat & Sun.
And yes Tiff, we're meeting up. Arranged, there, done :)
xxx

Download :)

Jo. Go away.

*hides*
Sorry.

I have to add why is it this year when I have enough money to buy a ticket for any festival I want to attend I don't like the lineups like LOADS?

It's wank. =(

I have tickets for Leeds. should be fun. Though waiting for lock up to be announced as they usually have the bands I like.

*steals Jo back*

Yay, Flem & Jo. Good times, good times.

HAHAHAHA I'M GONNA SEE BRAND NEW THE DAY BEFORE YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!!! lol sorry couldn't resist!!!

LEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woahhh! Caps lock attack Chloe! =O

I don't care, Chloe :]

I'm going for the weekend!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!
and at the moment have 3 spare tickets (check my general support thread.. grrr)
first time going - not keen on the lineup... well it's ok....
but compared to last yr!!!! i mean seriously...

xxxx

The lineup for like the past 4 years has been AMAZING! But this year, personally is a real let down. ='(

i agree! but i have been wanting to go for too long!

Same here, but I'm not going to waste my money for bands I don't really want to see. =( If Lostprophets do a day at any festival this year I might go. ;)

A LET DOWN?!
No one apart from me seems happy with the lineup this year :S!
Readings great even if you dont like the music- sitting on the skanky grass, drinking over-priced strongbow and eating greasy rubbish with friends while listening to ANY live music is pure heaven :)

I think quite a few people seem happy with it in this thread and a few others.

And yes! A LET DOWN!

Why do I want to pay over £100 to go sit on the grass, drinking and eating overpriced food and listening to bands I don't like enough to even listen to for more than 3 minutes?

You can sit in the garden doing that for free and with a radio. ;)

I was only kidding for April fool's day. But I might change my mind if I can put a tent in Jo's yard (which I found using Google Street. Who would have thought "Doodadoo UK" would have turned anything up?)

Haha, Jack.
That's a shame - you should come! You can camp in my garden if you like. I won't be there, but you're more than willing to. I don't think mum would mind... Or you could join us in Reading. It'd be fun! We'd play cards! :)

xx

I have friends from here who have been to Reading a lot - so I have seen lots of pics. It looks like a gritty affair (but not as bad as the mud fest at Glastonbury - see I know my festis). I saw your Mum in your video and she seems good humored alright.

In contrast, I am reminded of a stay in a pensione in Rome. I was laying in bed half awake in my knickers when an old housekeeper burst in yelling at me in Italian. Apparently I didn't wake up in time to vacate my pensione at the designated time (we had a curfew at night too ). After that trauma I would easily feel at home camping in peoples back yards.

A regret of mine is I didn't spend more time touring in UK, Europe etc. My uni ran the second most number of overseas programs in country and I didn't use them (did get to Italy and Switzerland though). I should get over there while the planes still work lol

i want sunday ticket for brandnew.
but i want to know full lineup too because i'm not made of moneyz.

Linda, I may have a spare ticket you can have/buy off me for the Sunday.
I demand you come and see Brand New with me.

Radiohead are headlining (Yay)
Bloc Party (as usual)
Yeahyeahyeahs
brand new
someone else.
MORE GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED.

omnom

i think the lineup is good.
and there are a few new bands at the moment who i reckon will be announced on the smaller stages aswell.
i dont have a ticket.
so it doesn't really matter. but still.
