Going to Reading! Guild is going to Leeds I believe.

I'm going to see Skrillex and A$op instead of Greenday. :smt101 I know Skrillex is **Filtered**, but its going to be carnage!

Saw Skrillex 'live' at Rock City when he came before the Bangarang EP... the energy is huge!! You wanna check out Pegboard Nerds though ;)

Not bad, not the best thing I have ever heard.

This is what I am really looking forward to seeing at Reading:

I've heard of 'Zeds Dead' before, that's the first proper BANGER I've heard from him!! As ASIWYFA is catchy!!

For me, Skindred (although seen them many times).
Frank Turner
Chase and Status
System of a Down
and of course Green Day. (waited all day in that awful rain to get front row) haha

Seen Frank a butt-load of times so didnt bother with him again though I assume he was as good as ever. What I saw of Greenday looked pretty awesome and System were great as well. Biffy was supposed to be good (FIREWORKS!) and Eminem was pretty cool (DIDO!).

Green Day are my favourite band of all time so I'll be biased. Playing Dookie from start to finish blew my mind.
I've never listened to frank turner before I seem him, went to watch a few songs, ended up staying the whole set he was that good! Now bought two if his albums and loving him.


Dido coming out was awesome!

Being Scottish, I haaaaate biffy. Put on a good show (light, fireworks etc). Although was uninterested.

Biggest let down?

Let down? Dammnnnnnnnnnn....
Errrrr
Well there was no decent secret set this year! Greenday last year, them crooked vultures the year before or something. This year there were just additional sets from a few crappy bands.
Also, I didnt enjoy ASIWYFA as much as I did two years ago. Still great though!

Ah, for me being a massive Funeral For A Friend fan, the new direction they've took has let me down. Even re doing old song in the new style. I walked out after 3 songs.

AlsoThe blackout. Was a massive fan years ago, only played 1 song that I knew.

Never been a FOB fan, listened to them while chilling on the grass and I didn't hate it as much as I expected.
Quite enjoyed the Blackout, not knowing any of their songs. Liked their Hip-Hop mix :)

Getting 2013-priced tickets for next year? I sure am! Who would you want playing?

Nah I'm not gonna get an early ticket. I'm gonna see T in The Park and R & L's line ups before I decide.

I'd love to see Blink 182 as I've not seen them. The fray and jay z for the same reason.

Yourself mate?
