Anyone else Going to Leeds Festival? Its AWESOME!

[Abaddon]

Wee festival time again.. just bought my tickets... line up so far:

 

[ComradeDavo]

READING FESTIVAL FOR ME! WOOT! Will be my 5th year running Very excited about Pearl Jam and Placebo!

For those of you who don't know, Reading and Leeds are 2 legs of the same festival, held on the same weekend in different locations! The friday Leeds is the sunday reading, the saturday the friday and the sunday the saturday, so yeh change that poster around to see what Raeding is going to be...or just go to http://www.readingfestival.com

I'm also going here for my 4th year running.... http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/lineup/index.asp to see the mighty TOOL and also Metallica and Lacuna Coil and some others

The only band there that intersts me is Muse, and maybe Coheed and Cambria if I heard any of their songs (I read they sound like a cross between Rush and Yes).

 

[Abaddon]

If so- thats can be a good thing, festivals are all about openeing your eyes to new music- i went last year and wasso impressed by multiple bands i had never heard of before.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I'll never be able to go to a festival.

Been running Reading + Download for four years now, always good. Not particularly impressed with Leeds Saturday that really doesn't appeal to me.

[BCLG100]

i find it funny that there putting slayer on after my chemical romance

id like to go but lack of money means im not, loads of my friends are though.

 

[Abaddon]

Well i want to see 20 of the bands performing (know i probably wont be able to make em all) so

£150/ 20 = teh_peanuts

 

[Ancient Grudge]

I would of gone to reading for the 3rd year running but frankly the line up is completely crap!

No 1. How in holy hell are MCR above Slayer, Less Than Jake and Mastadon! I have had the misfortune to see MCR twice live (god damn women!).

I know MF have booked those acts because they are popular at the moment but seriously, it should be about quality not popularity. And why are TBS there again!!!!

I'm off to Download this year Metallica, Tool and Guns 'n' Roses headlining so reading can shove pearl jam, muse and franz ferdinand (the worst headliner minus the darkness in 4 years!)

 

[Abaddon]

oh yeah, i admit the headliners suck.. but quantity of quality bands backing them up.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Muse sucks?

 

[Abaddon]

well no, thats an overstatement of mine... They are a good band.. just not Headline material.

You going to either this year?

Unfortunately neither. Short of cash, bloody driving lessons.

Edit: Might still get into Reading though, friends seem to be offering a brief loan

 

[Chukchi Husky]

well no, thats an overstatement of mine... They are a good band.. just not Headline material.

I guess no prog band is anymore.

 

[Abaddon]

yeah, just compared to last year- they just arnt and legendary/famous i guess.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I'm sorry.

 

[Abaddon]

eh? There was absolutly no reason for that one.
