Yeah, V this weekend, and Reading/Leeds the following. The two biggest festivals in England, aside from Glastonbury. (Which was the most incredible 5 days of my life.)


So, anyone going either? If so, who are you looking forward to checking out?

I'm going both. Roots Manuva, Chemical Brothers and Prodigy are my top 3 W2C's for V, and fucking RAGE at Leeds.


RAGE!!!!!

I would have loved to see them 8 years ago.

All those bands you named are fucking horrible.

Every country except the US gets such amazing festivals where all the non-shitty bands get to play. (with exception of a few shitty bands that do)

I would love to go to Reading or Leeds, or Big Day Out. Fuck lollapalooza and crap like that.

I'm off to V on Saturday, but the lineup isn't that fantastic. Muse should be pretty good (although the last time I saw them they bored me to the point I went off to watch the Nouvelle Vague) but there are some good "Festie" bands for sing a longs (Futureheads, Maximo Park, Alanis :love: ) The Sunday lineup is much better, but I agreed to go with a mate so we're only going Saturday.

Reading is gonna be pretty superb, Rage, Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica....TENACIOUS D :love: plus I get to see Be Your Own Pet just before they split up, so that'll be pretty gold. There are plenty of good bands around the whole weekend, so should be a good one.

Seriously, they are. Chemical Brothers and Prodigy are SOOOO horrible.

I saw Queens of the Stone age recently, they are decent live. metallica is meh ( I think I am biased since I hate them ever since the Napster shit happened/Newstead left).

Tenacious D is the shit live. I love them. Very fun show.

We have pretty terrible festivals here, what are YOU on about? It's usually better to just see a certain band's show than it is to go to any festivals here.

Some of the US festivals are fucking awesome, Bonnaroo and Coachella always have amazing lineups, I would sacrifice a ticket for Glastonbury, Reading, V and all the rest just to go to Coachella.
