Leeds/Reading Festival Lineup

Just being facetious there mate. I used to think I’d be going to Leeds forever but times change. It was always the rockiest festival after download, but I guess the demand is no longer there.

It’s a poor lineup this year mind, a few decent acts there but a majority of it is shite.
 


I went to Reading that year, what a line up it was. The Sunday at Reading was superb, literally saw about 15 bands in that day alone.
Prodigy as the sun went down followed by 2 and a half hours of live guns n roses after everyone had written them off beforehand was f***ing spectacular
 
Didn’t realise they didn’t do reading. Probably cos they upset the Leeds locals by playing until their leccy got switched off.
We did get Ikara Colt too but that’s only because they were kicked off the bill at Leeds for having a stage invasion at Reading haha.
 
This was the only Leeds fest I ever went to:

Worked it for Oxfam so got in free (in lieu of pay). Had the first day off, worked all day Saturday (including the tent when Feeder were on - and missed the rest of the shite that day) and the first part of Sunday and got to see all the good bands Sunday afternoon/evening. :cool::cool:
Best lineup ever that.

Also the first festival I ever went to.
 
I remember the year daphne and celeste played, and spent the entire gig terrified as they recieved absolute dogs abuse and about a hundred bottles of piss launched at them.

And the year kevin rowland went through his tranny phase.
 
I can't tell if Leeds/Reading has become absolute dogshit, or whether I've gotten to the age where I just don't know what modern mainstream music is.

I've heard of in total, 11 bands there.
8 and that includes Annie Mac if it's the radio 1 presenter.

I wouldn't go if it was a free festival with that line up.
 
They have 7 albums so 3 songs per album is about right.

Pretty sure they opened with sex on fire at Leeds a few years back and made some comment that some people could leave now.

Not when you’re first two albums are outstanding and the rest are polished pop pap.

As soon as you could understand what he was singing, they’d lost it.
