Well Reading and Leeds festival are nearing and I ask facepunch, who's going? We can prehaps get a little facepunch meet on the go.. or not!

For those who don't know, Reading/Leeds Festivals are the biggest festival (Next to glastonbury) in the UK. Huge bands headline and it's just generally a great experience. (So i'm told, i'm a first timer)

Who do you wish were playing instead of guns n roses?!

[hakkoru]

Aw i want to go. stupid east coast united states

[Angooose]

I can't wait for The Midnight Beast, though obviously one of the smallest bands (at the bottom of the list) they are gonna pull a huge crowd.

a video for anyone who has never heard.

[OogalaBoogal]

Neat. Would go if I lived on the other side of the Atlantic.

[Git]

Going to reading WOOOOOO

Friday and Saturdays headliners need to get off the stage, guns and roses will probably be terrible and I've never even heard of arcade fire. I want to see paramore though :frogc00l:

[Redskins1234]

Goddamn, I wish I lived in the UK, and not Canada :frown:

Why did you not include ADTR?
Worst band on the whole lineup.

[Hallucinate]

I'm hitting up reading for the first time. Does anyone know where to get a decent pop-up tent?

Roots Manuva will be big. And Rusko.

I got one yesterday. Haven't tested it yet but I've popped it open and it seems really good quality.

And I don't know who to see between Mumford & Sons and QOTSA as they'll probably clash.

I slept in a pop-up tent last night.

NEVER AGAIN.

I woke up absolutely drenched in rain-water and burning from the cramp induced by having no space to move.

Still looks good tho.

[QUOTE=Angooose;24131814]Roots Manuva will be big. And Rusko.[/QUOTE]

I saw them when they supported RATM at Finsbury Park (Roots) and they were dreadful. Guess it wasn't the appropriate time to listen to them though.

[Steve-o]

I'll be at Leeds on the Saturday guys, such a good line up!

[SamRinny]

EARLY BIRD TICKETS TO LEEDS BITCHES

Also I will be in that crowd for the Beast.

[Jasper Jones]

when did arcade fire get so popular, i mean they're good but those are some big bands up there with them

[ragawaga]

It would be amazing to see Pendulum and Crystal castles :(

[SuPeR_MaN]

[Someoneuduno]
