    Reading Festival tomorrow!

    Is anyone going?

    To those who are not British and so probably have not heard of it, the Reading Festival is a rock/indie/dance music festival, lasting 3 days, held in Reading. There are about 100 bands playing, including Metallica, Linkin Park, The Polyphonic Spree, Blink 182, Placebo, The Darkness, Staind, Blur, Beck, The Music, Junior Senior and Finch (way to many to mention), over 5 stages, and a comedy stage. It's pretty big (about 120,000 tickets sold IIRC).

    I got a ticket off ebay, and going up tomorrow (sadly couldn't get up for the pre-party tonight). I can't wait, this is going to be fantastic

    If anyone is going, or even has gone already, please post stories and pics afterwards. It's going to be a riot (literally )

    Too far from Texas for me, but it sounds good.

    Festivus for the restofus.

      Have you seen The Polyphonic Spree live (IIRC they've done most of their touring in Texas)? One of the highlights for me. 30 people, dressed in large white robes, playing many instruments (from electric basses to harps) and singing

        No, I've not seen that. Also sounds good.
        Clapton was the last I saw, and that was a year ago.

                      I wanted to go to the UK when this was on, but sadly, I'll be going to the army in a couple of days, so there is no way I can attend.

                          Yep, on the main stage. Every year there's one that get's there as a kind of joke, but I like them. Yeh it's cheese, but it's good, funky cheese dammit!

                          Yes, many people+loud music. Why else?

                          Yeh, they're really a pop band with little credability. The Polyphonic Spree isn't pop, in any sense. And since when did you even listen to the album? It might take a couple of listenings, but waking up to "Have a Day/Celebratory" is quite a feeling

                            4 seconds of the video on mtv2 is more than enough to form a valid opinion!
