LEEDS FESTIVAL 2000, DAPHNE & CELESTE "Sometimes the worst moments are the best moments. The bottling of Daphne & Celeste at Reading 2000 entered the annals of festival history. But it's always slightly annoyed me that Reading gets the credit, because the boisterous US pop duo got their first bottling at Leeds Festival 24 hours earlier. As a tyro music journalist, I had somehow managed to breeze past security for a vantage point at the side of the stage for Rage Against The Machine, Blink-182 and Placebo. But it was the confrontation between the crowd and the ballsy American girls that's stayed with me. Their surprise booking did hold out the intriguing prospect of a meeting with Brian Molko, who they had delighted in mocking in the music press. In the event, it was their abrupt performance that became the story. D&C's brief set, including such classics as Ooh Stick You and U.G.L.Y., seemed to last an eternity as they braved the onslaught of plastic bottles and worse (your correspondent managed to dodge the missiles). By the end you had to admire both sides: Daphne & Celeste were beaten but unbowed, while Leeds reasserted itself as a rock festival. The bottling at Reading got the headlines but it was really just a rowdy encore. Pop stars have never really put themselves in the Reading & Leeds firing line since that weekend." -
Sub for sure... them headlining would be so underwhelming. But I would bet on both NBT and FF not being there as their tour schedule is already quite busy and it just doesn't look very likely logistics-wise... -

Today I wore my new walking shoes to start wearing them in. Previous ones were so comfy but have hole in the sole now so finally replaced them. -
Yeah, looks like it will sell out earlier then usual. No surprise really as very good value, when you think of the cost for Kasabian/Blossoms Warchild/Brits concert this looks fantasic value.
