Pearl Jam is a big coup after Roskilde, and are great headliners for the whole thing.

Personal standpoint, I'm liking Friday and Saturday. Franz I ain't bothered about, but would watch, Kaisers should be fun, Audioslave will be good, Belle & Sebastian :love: :love: and The Subways is good. Saturday has Yeah Yeahs, DPT and The Futureheads :love: :love: I'd like to see the Arctics and Muse are awesome live at festies.

Pearl Jam is a treat, and hopefully makes up for the fact that Placebo and MCR are both shit and way too high up the bill.



So Discuss, bitch, say if you're going, etc.....

Oh, God, what a bag of wank!

Then again, the Carling festival always has a shit line-up.

Audioslave will rock your cocks off.

I've got to admit, there is a LOT of shit on there.

Same time though, there are a few bands who will be good for festies, sing-a-long tunes, good atmosphere etc.... I mean, I'm not a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand or Kaiser Chiefs, but they do have those sorts of songs.

I prefer this line up to last years. Audioslave wooo and Muse are top.

Having said that I'm not going again cos I'm going to see Radiohead at the corperate whoreness which is V.

Good luck, weekend tickets are sold out and loads of ebay auctions are being spoilt to stop touts

There will be another 2 batches released, some in a couple of motnhs and the last just before the festival (1/2 weeks before).

We've had this discussion before, it didn't happen last year, it ain't gonna happen this year.

The only way to get tickets is to go to the Reading website, and put yourself on the preferred customers list. If they managed to get the extra capacity, they are selling them on a first come first served basis of those customers.

DEVVO AT THE FOOKIN LEEDS FESTIVAL1111

Seriously though, absolutely shit line up. Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance bring the suckage down to critical levels.

Less Than Jake have been confirming themselves at their UK gigs.

Yeah, first they were gonna headline the lockup (now 2 days) but apparently they are gonna play the main stage on the Sunday at Reading (Friday Leeds)

NME are gonna have 100 tickets to each festival tomorrow at half 5 apparently.

Few more bands have apparently self-confirmed, and Fall Out Boy are playing both festies now.

Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Bullet For My Valentine have all apparently confirmed themselves

I saw Pearl Jam live a while ago and they were pretty shitty. I realized at their concert that I really don't like their music all that much.
