I was sat on my arse in London, but whatever...
The folks behind the bigger-than-ever Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds have said that this year's event was great. Which is kind of expected, even if it'd been rubbish, really. No?
Thousands upon thosands of music fans attended the twin-site event, headlined by Muse (pictured), Franz Ferdinand and Pearl Jam. Mean Fiddler's Melvin Benn said:
"What a weekend. Two cities, Reading and Leeds, 214 different bands and performers playing in each city to a massive 200,000 people. Great weather, great music and great fans. To say I am happy would not even be scratching the surface. I am ecstatic, as were the bands and the fans."
Apart from those that had their stuff nicked, obviously.
