50 Cent as well.
So what you are saying, is that anyone who doesn't make music you like is perfectly OK to attempt to assault at best, kill at worst.

Requiem has it spot on, its over £150 to go to Reading or Leeds (+ expenses) you expect to see bands you like being put on, Panic and MCR don't cater for the average Reading festival goer, so the only way to show your disapproval is by showing it somehow, its a tradition which dates back to the ridiculous booking of Meatloaf as a headliner in 1989, Festival Republic understand that if someone is bottled, thats not the type of band to book.
Idiotic. Lineups are announced well in advance. You know what bands are there before you spend the money. Even if you get tickets before the entire lineup is announced, you should have the wherewithal to realize that it's a big festival which a ton of bands are gonna play, and you are more than likely not gonna want to see every one.

If there's a band you don't want to see, no one's making you watch them. Go eat or drink or get merch or something. Don't try to hurt them to show your disapproval.
