Reading, just because I cannot comprehend why you would want to spend more than 1 hour with a Northerner. Razz Laughing

I agree,

Reading pisses on Leeds, and the same has been said to me by everyone that goes to both festivals.

Better atmosphere =)

Take lots of SAFELY CONCEALED cash to you to Reading, and some food and drink that doesn't contain weed/alcohol, as it's extortionate.

Cashpoint/Maccies is fucking miles away, that's why you should bring a lot of cash if you intend on buying food/drink onsite.

Reading has cash points on site these days, but big queues at popular times.

There's an iceland not too far away if you want cheaper food.
Distances aren't actually that far at all to town, but the number of people causes problems.

I usually use my bike to get too and fro in the day time, but then living under five miles away helps Smile.

Forget them both, for the same price you can get a flight/ferry to Europe and go to maybe Sweden Rock, Graspop, Tuska, Rock am Ring, there's loads of them. Mostly the same bands playing too!

Anyone been to any of the big european ones?
Have considered it before - though really should learn more for the country than the one word of spanish I knew when I last went to spain (well, I learnt one other word while I was there Smile ).

'Gracias', but only because I've heard it some American film with mexican goings on.

However, I did also learn 'halo'.

I meant to learn something like "sorry, I am stupid English person" Smile.

I've been to both several times and prefer Reading, but they're not that much different to be honest. I'd go to which was easiest.

Never been to Reading but Leeds is a good laugh, used to be better before they moved the site a year or two ago.

Like Babyyam said leeds is like going round a mates house and listening to their stereo compared to some of the larger european festivals, my personal favourite was Roskilde in Denmark just down the road from Copenhagen: https://www.roskildefestival.dk

If you like swimming Razz

Where are you going to uni? Coventry, isn't it? Just go to whichever is easiest! I'll probably give leeds a miss unless some very good bands are playing.

I think download shall be the Gig to go for!

yeah... at the end of the year.
I have exactly £6 a week to live on after rent. which takes the pish...

If the loan came through at a sensible time instead of near the end of the 2nd semested I'd have £24 a week to live on...

Rolling Eyes

there was me thinking it's a student loan tailored to the academic year and your living costs..

Neutral

Simple - yes I'm bitter
