I take it this is this year's April Fool's?

Wasn't it something about Pete Doherty being banned at festivals last year?

You mean that someone's scammed up with a made-up press release....?

Last year's was something about new EU landfill regulations, which would restrict the amount of indie landfill allowed at festivals. And going by the sales and the line-ups of some fests this year, maybe there was more to the story than was first thought.

aye i hear leeds/reading isn't selling well? seems a pretty decent line up for me based on previous years.

and just been told by paul that download isn't selling well. obviously not indie landfill, but i can see why this isn't selling well if true. was the year i was finally going to take the plunge and the line up is poo!

That's insane if it was real, pretty sure it's just a gimmick for ads.

You've never been to Download before? Haven't you said it's such a great atmosphere/friendly people etc. before though?
