Reading Festival

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any hackers from the UK will be attending the 2007 Reading Festival as I will be.

By the way, this is Reading as in the place, pronounced red-ing, not like reading as in reading a book ;)

Read it.

Ah. Well apparently the name is slightly misleading. >.>

thats pretty cool too bad i dont live in the uk

In reply to the name being misleading it is not pronounced as in reading a book, its a place in Berkshire , UK. I live like 15 mins aways by train.

Well I guess that makes sense as well.

I will only go if I can win tickets!

Although, today I bought my ticket for the Arctic Monkeys concert in The Cardiff International Arena! WOOT

I'm desperatly trying to get tickets! Want to see SP so bad. But you get those people who buy like 20 tickets and put them on ebay for twice the original price argh. If i can get enough money for a ticket i'll definately be going!! =D

Nice one, SP kick ass :p I've seen them previously too.

I really want to see Enter Shikari, one of my local bands. Been a fan of theirs since about 2003/2004, so it would kick ass to see them play

Explain…?

DarkMessiah wrote: i hate every one of those bands!

im more into metal as opposed to umm, crap

FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Pfft, I bet you haven't actually listened to most of them, and/or heard of some of them.

And how are Enter Shikari crap?

DarkMessiah wrote: im more into metal as opposed to umm, crap

Blasphemy!! ok some of the bands are on the COMMERCIAL EMO SHIT list, but theres a few decent bands there. Anyone else going?

DarkMessiah wrote: im just sticking Enter Shikari on now cos that i haven't heard…

….thats pretty good anyway this is a pointless argument as everyone is entitled to opinion

EDIT:although surely that would make all arguments pointless… in that case, argue away

ES ftw :)

and yea, this is sorta pointless :p

Ah, you mean…chav music! xD

ack! thats the worst kind of music. so many chavs at my college :(

Haha, you should see my school…

Wait wait wait…you mean…some chavs actually managed to get into college?!?!?! HOLY FUCK!

i'd go for the chili peppers alone, too bad i live 5,000 miles away…

In my class 2 chavs are doing the same course as they did last year. Basically because they failed last year heh. How they could fail the first year of this course i honestly don't know.

Yep, RHCP are pretty awesome, this will be the second time I'm seeing them :)

Saw them in Hyde Park a while back, was excellent.

Their latest album is a bit…lame though, Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Californication are by far the greatest albums they've made

gotta love RHCP

lmao that should go with the quotes at the top of HBH ^^

edit: typo! :ninja:

quote of the day

hmm can there be 2 QOTDs?

Ratbert is amazing. Everyone loves Dogbert, but i'm a Ratbert kinda guy =D

Well, this has gone sort of off topic… XD

Hehehe

xD same. The Dilbert Future has to be one of my favourite books. Catbert is just pure evil, which obv means hes awesome

Yeah sorry, kinda waaay off topic lol

Yeah i'll deffo go, but first whats the cheapest you can get in for? Im not really well off at the moment :(

Weekend tickets are on ebay for around £200 :( you can get day tickets though, not sure how much they are..

http://www.readingfestivalonline.co.uk

Well £200 is too much for me :(, oh well, does anyone think they could record some of it and upload it? :happy:

If i go i'll get my brothers video camera so sure =D which bands would you wanna see?

My mate got a day ticket for 75 quid I think

@Phr34k: which days you going? and @system: hmm i could go for that, where did you get that from? And i'll ask my mum in the morning :happy:

If i go i'll be going for the weekend. No point going up to reading just for the day. I need money soon though, must look for a job or something.

If only i took that paper round it was £30 a week but i had to get up at like 4 in the morning :|

I bought my weekend ticket and camping when they first went on sale though the streets might of played again, but they aint on the line up as of yet, so i may be selling my ticket. Profit :P

SPEICAL GUESTS! damn, wish i could go but i can. for i live in the u.s:(

fall out boy, panic at the disco and angles and airwaves suck major ass

True 'dat.

Agreed with two of them, panic aren't too bad, they're…okay

not sure if im gonig,

might get some tickets off ebay when the lock-up and dance tent is annoucement as im hating the line-up at the moment to much indie for my liking however the lower part of sunday does rule :)

NOFX and Rancid to headline lock-up (well im hoping they will) even tho nofx have self-confirm
