More as we have it.
Earlier this evening (31st March) the official Reading festival website crashed, unable to take the strain of multiple eager gig-goers / ticket buyers.

boooooooooooooo
fools
I'm not going, but I do feel inspired to comment on what
a totally shit line-up that is. Bring on Latitude
I was mention latitude
but I didn't...and I CONCURR!! Latitude will be the best. Just like last year... its got everything.
When I first went in 1995........
weekend tickets were 60 quid. I think the booking fee was about 2.50.
Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Green Day, Teenage Fanclub, Beck, dEUS, Bjork, Tricky, Neil Young, Soundgarden, Pavement, Mudhoney, Buffalo Tom, Blind Melon, Stereolab, Guided by Voices, Drugstore, Carter USM and Super Furry Animals played.
Things were better in the 90s.
Conor Oberst?
All of a sudden, I really want to go...
woooooooo
ooooooo
word
i wish i was older back then
he's duetting with pendulum?
speculum.
Lame line up and a hassle getting tickets
We just spent about £500 on this!
RATM
:D
I thought
the exact same thing
Serge Tankien?
You can't even cut and paste properly. And your attitude stinks. ROFL? Cunt.
maybe I didn't cut and paste then
my attitude?
LOL.
yes i agree
That IS an awesome line-up.
A poor line up
for so much money
Has anyone seen the video of 'Amy the Indie' on BBC's Switch? It'll be a crowd filled with people like that
when i went in 1993
they were £45. no booking fee if you bought it in hmv
new order, rage against the machine, blur, radiohead, ned's atomic dustbin......
the stereolab and carter usm sets at reading 1995
were ace. fruity had to sit down, and jim bob spent the entire set slagging off neil young.
and the infamous foo fighters set on the melody maker stage. with that twat climbing the centre pole.
The headliners are good
But on the whole, that is a really uninspiring line up. I'm disappointed because usually Reading put on a bloody good show, but it's so poorly booked.
Who put Bullet For My Valentine in the middle of Foals, Justice and the Manics?
What will really get people in the mood for Rage and QOTSA? I know, The Enemy and The Fratellis?
My god
that's a shit line-up
honestly
they seem to use almost exactly the same line up every year.
i creamed myself
when i saw Metallica, Slipknot and Tenacious D
Unfortunately i couldn't get tix =(
