Your own personal ultimate Reading Festival

[AcademicPistol]

Yes!

This line up makes me cry so much though, wish I weren't 5-years-old at the time.

Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, Neil Young, Soundgarden, Hole, Pavement, Mudhoney, Beck, NOFX, Pennywise, Deus etc. And all for £60!

I think t the time of the festival I was 4

[AcademicPistol]

Me too 4/5? It would seem we are all born after our time gentlemen.

[jump]

I was 9 at the time, I had already been to a few gigs by that time but didn't go to my 1st fest till I was 15.

[Vieuphoria]

just found 2 more things that make this more awesome.

1. Super Furry Animals playing low down on the Carlsberg tent

2. Eddie Izzard headliningthe Alt. Stage

[kaosmark2]

I like the "3 day ticket £60 in advance including camping & car parking" bit.

The poster has certainly been educational i didn't realise red bull existed back then turns out it was created in 1987...... fascinating i know.

Could Alabama Shakes headline NME?

[Vieuphoria]

Sub maybe?

[rob23]

This is pretty unrealistic, but I haven't picked any bands that are broken up (I don't think) but there are a few on hiatus. A few of the positions I didn't have a clue about (like Television), and I tried to put heavier bands and some bands I'm not a fan of to make it more realistic, but this is near perfect for me. I'd pay like £500 to go to this festival.
