Friday and Sunday Main stage at Reading is strong for me, Saturday is very meh, I like Arcade Fire but Ive seen them and not fussed about seeing them again, hate Libs and saw Dizzee twice last year and the rest of that day is bland

Edit- even though I like the Cribs, I think their new album will be lost on main stage, tent it would be better, but Gaslight Anthem is a great booking as well

But yeah Friday and Sunday, very strong IMO

If I didn't have other things happening its strong enough for me to go, but im not. Shows why NOFX didn't get booked at Download though... AGAIN. Also theres a few I was hoping would play Sonisphere on that line up

I've been wanting to see Blink since they cancelled their tour in 2001/2002, and I've just landed a new job, with the only rule being "I can't have any time off over summer" due to it being very busy. I was hoping Blink did the Leeds Sat/Sun... With that announcement, it's made it perfect for me.

Kele Okereke, WAS, Weezer, Blink, Paramore, You me at six are 6 bands I'd love to see, either again or for the first time... At about £15 each to see them, I'm well happy with that. Bring it on.

Not too great for myself and a lot expected. Friday at Leeds is half decent, but the other two aren't. Weezer to WAS and Klaxons on Saturday is okay and apart from Biffy on Friday I'm not too fussed at all. Normally at the past few fest there has always been a band I want to watch one after another from about 1 onwards, bar 1 or 2 gaps. This years line up shows that I'll really be struggling this year. Didn't bother saving cash to one side this year and tbh I'm not too fussed now. I'll probably still get one later on, but only if ebay prices are half decent.And then maybe just the libs day then.

Now that I've finally got a ticket, I'm really happy with that. Modest Mouse, Weezer, Arcade Fire, Biffy Clyro, Queens of the Stone Age are all amongst the bands I'd have been happiest to see on the bill, and with the likes of We Are Scientists, Cypress Hill, GNR, Blink, LCD Soundsystem and Gaslight Anthem on there as well, it's all looking very good. Faith No More and Radiohead basically saved the lineup for me last year, whereas this year there's some really good bands throughout the bill.

First year not going in 5, not a terrible line up but can't say I feel particually gutted to not be going. Just too many repeat bookings for me nowadays, seems to be the same core bands on repeat...

Sure I've been to weaker Readings though, would have liked to see Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill :P.

Didn't go last year.

I am very happy to be going this year :P

Got my ticket on the seetickets phone hotline with early entry.

Haha and then i tried to help others only for a bunch of new posters on the forum to accuse me of trying to scam.

Anyway....Blink was a big enough draw for me.

But the line-up looks amazing

Some of the line up is good for me too, but like Jammy2211 says just too many bands on repeat so to speak for me, which is bound to happen after 11 years of continually going to festivals.

I think at 28 (29 by the time the festival rolls round) I now realise that this festival isn't really aimed at me anymore as I couldn't tell you a single Arcade Fire song and I only know 1 or 2 from Paramore.

Cypress Hill would be the only big "never seen" band for me, and I suppose Weezer too who I've only seen the once back at Reading 2002.

All that said a few mates have bought tickets, and I'll probably end up getting one nearer the time of the festival. :P

Not quite sure whether it would feel normal to spend August bank holiday at home! :P

Great to see Weezer there.

Not that impressed overall tho. Would have been great a few years back but half the bands I cant stand now which is weird as they used to be my fav bands when I was younger. Guess my music tastes have changed.

Hopefully the shit bands clash with the ones I want to see.
