reading and leeds

anyone else going to reading or leeds festival this weekend?

i'm off to leeds again tomorrow morning for my second time at the festival.. last year was awesome so hopefully this year will be just as good. granted, there is a lotttt of shite on the line up (my opinion obviously) but there are still a number of things i'm defo gonna watch..

smashing pumpkins nine inch nails red hot chili peppers dinosaur jr bloc party arcade fire interpol kings of leon ash frank turner eagles of death metal

probably some other random stuff too. so yeah anyone else going?

Be there on Sunday for Arcade Fire and Brakes, if i get up early enough.

Overall though its a pretty shocking line up. Doesnt compare with recent years. Even the 2nd stage and new bands tent are unusually devoid of decent stuff.

Jack, if you throw something sharp at Jack Penate I will buy you a pint.

i hate jack penate

so yeah i might

i'll have an excuse to be there cos one of my mates is a complete indie fag and loves him

line up isn't amazing, but i'm seeing about 10 bands this year compared to like 2 last year.. so i'm not gonna complain that much

are interpol still playing? last night's gig was cancelled...

Our lad won VIP tickets.Dunno how?? I can't be arsed to go with him,and can't commit just now anyway..But the line up looks pish,so not really arsed anyhow..He is buzzing about it though.

was meant to be doing leeds on sunday but off to my sister's wedding in durham this weekend.i have sent someone to report back to me though :)

well al i dunno about the reading weather but the forecast for leeds looks great

friday 24degrees sunny

saturday 22 degrees a bit cloudy but dry

sunday 21 degrees sunny/cloudy but dry

Was keeping an eye on day tickets for Reading, Sunday, for LCD Soundsystem.

Prices still too silly though. And it'll doubtless piss down.

Well, the ground is sodden - indeed, some of the car parks have been turned into campsites, due to flooding...

However, forecast for this weekend looks to be about 25 degrees...

Reading and Leeds already..! NIN Interpol..

Can't believe it's almost Sept. 'Enjoy! Hope it Rains

oh its gonna rain...i'm gonna make sure of that:D i dont know where reading or leeds are, but i'm doing a rain dance cos i hate over half of those band's music.

so take a tent with you.

Thanks A. Each Winter as the season was settin' in we'd do Snow Dances. Hard chance to change the course of the weather but still..

(Think Snow.) The trick was the Comedic timing.. of a Pro.

Lines.. Break. Idea of Rain Dance. Pause. 'So take a tent.

Been watching some of it on telly.Quite like that Reverend And the Makers combo but as for Razorshite , jesus they were cack.

just got back this morning

really was the best weekend ever, better than last year

NIN

hands down the best band i saw.. closely followed by dinosaur jr who rocked my face off and then ash who were surprisingly immense in the nme tent.

smashing pumpkins were awesome.. didnt think i'd ever get to see them once never mind twice... chili peppers were good but not as good as at the MEN last july... kings of leon great band... interpol were very good... eagles of death metal were actually quality... frank turner was amazing to sing along to...

great weekend

now go and have a bath wiil yer?, i can smell you from here...

Sod the bands, Jack. Tell us what we want to know; did you score any good drugs and did you get your end away
