The Shins
Cold War Kids
Gym Class Heroes
Little Man Tate
I heard somewhere that !!! had been added
is this true?
I'm going purely for jimmy eat world
end of.
eee!
Ash
are above BRAND NEW
Ha take that you fuckers, thats what you get for being cunts on Saturday night.
yeah
they announced the date about 3 weeks ago.
I'm going to find a way to go to this.
grow
up
those 3 headliners
are enough to remind me: "what happened to good festival headline bands???"
that's what i think everytime i see it
urgh, razorlight?!
What's happened to..
Reading festival more like... it gets more branded every friggin year...and the facilities worse.
late of the pier:
only one of the new additions i'd make an effort to see
oh maybe jamie t and hadouken too.
I thought
the facilities last year were much improved. Still not as good as they should be, admittedly. And every year they keep trying to squeeze more people in than it can take.
As for the line-up... hopefully the Carling stage will be good.
ace. Late of the pier, and eagles of death metal and the shins
schweet. And if !!! are confirmed too, then yowsers.
but: PUMPKINS PUMPKINS PUMPKINS
I don't mind the chilis but they are distinctly kack now, and were only average at best after the early nineties. And razorlight are fucking shite.
well you say that
but i was looking at the old lineups from Reading on wikipedia and some of them aren't all that.
It's hard to be objective but i think it's a pretty strong lineup this year even if it's not all to my tastes
have you even been recently?
the facilities have improved massively in the last 2 years.
Excellent.
I'll be off to see them then. Get my groove on :D
8 Years
in a row, and i have decided not to go this year. It was tat last year
Yes
I agree. Nothing crazy nice there.
this is the best reading
in years. The headliners are never really important.
it's all
about oxegen.
i hope
Zeitgeist doesn't suck copious amounts of arse. I'm a huge pumpkins fan, but i'm dreading the new album.

The Young Knives,
boring. Please stay in 2004, where you were slightly interesting.
The rest seem pretty boring. Apart from the Shins and maybe Cold Ward Kids.
Ew.
Nah.
My mate loves Jamie T but always misses him
This will make him really happy tonight when the bastard finally pays for his ticket.
Long Blondes is a nice edition, ditto Pipettes provided they give them an afternoon slot and its nice and sunny. I like the Young Knives as well, so there.
Excited about The Shins but I knew that ages ago.
The Shins and Dinosaur Jr.
Excellent.
Wow, Razorlight and chums
I don't get why festivals are so popular when the majority of the stuff they provide for the flush crowds is utter dross.
