Reading Festival

[G]

August bank holiday's creeping up on us - anyone else going?

[Cptn. Awesome]

I'd normally be going to Leeds but I'm not this year, couldn't get tickets. Then I saw the line-up and decided I didn't wanna anyway. Now I am jealous and am wishing a little that i was going.

Lesson learned.

I'll be there.

Struggling to find a tent within my £10 budget though!

Where abouts do you camp G?

[G]

Camping - forget the codes, but basically kinda straight out from the main arena entrance, not too far, but not really close.
Don't know how much it cost, but Dusty did get a spare cheap tent for Glastonbury which he never used - he might be willing to sell it for a tenner if you're interested.

[benjami]

Cool, we were in green something or other last year. Wasn't too close or too far away.

How big is this tent?

[chillpill]

hell yeah

ill be in yellow camp wensday morning , rite outside the arena entrance , look out for a group of lads in bright blue Hawaiian shirts

benj go to decathalon theyve got cheap tents or jsut snuggle up with a mate , 4 people in a 3 man last year , as long as your the big spoon its all good

[G]

Apparently he wants £10, which is what he paid for it.
It's 2 man and doesn't look that great, but if you really can't find a £10 tent anywhere else, it'll be better than nothing.
It's brand new, never been opened.

So who is playing Reading on Sunday, G?? Usually, if I go, I wait till Sunday and beg or bribe some kid on their way back home to give me their weekend armband.

Boy it often takes some persuading, 'please give me your piece of plastic, you don't really want to wear it forever...you have the memories in your mind...and in your photos'.

All details here ... https://www.readingfestival.com/lineup/index.aspx
Radiohead are the ones I really want to see on Sunday, well the whole festival really*. Hardly recognise any of the other bands these days - wouldn't mind seeing Lostprophets, but much prefer Radiohead, who I've never seen live before.

*Placebo are actually one of my favourite bands, but never quite seem to 'do it' for me live.

[Clanger]

Lost Prophets and Crystal Method, are it (for me on Sunday). Actually Friday night looks like the best night. Hardly worth a trip to Reading then, really. Cheers for the link.

The Prodigy are playing Bournemouth late November, so I'll probably watch them there.
