Simple Plan played a decent set to be fair, no Addicted but expected that but a nice of of 5 our of 6 songs through the middle with Jump and Loser of the year being okay, Boom just being awful haha. NFG played everything you'd want as well although a longer set so more rubbish to listen through for the better stuff.

 

All Time Low for have played one of the best sets for them for the weekend I think, especially at Reading that got A lot like war due to the extra 5 minute set as well.

Had read that Reading was sold out everyday this year. There were masses more people here on the Saturday though, how does that work? Very quiet on mainstage today.

 

Because they sell the rest of the tickets off to getmein I think so they try tell themselves it was a sell out! If anyone at Reading has seen The Gaslight set from Leeds they probably won't turn up until The Cribs start.

Most of today's lineup is utter pish, weekend ticket holders are probably still in bed saving energy for the mighty Kendrick Lamar.

Coasts are a decent shout. I'll forget I saw that about Kendrick, he was god awful when I caught him last time!

 

Another downvote, WHOOP! Happy Sunday!

 

Think it's mainly because he ruined his throat years ago, seem to remember his original screaming technique when they were much heavier was really poor

 

I seem to remember them being really poor in general, I've never been an Oli Sykes fan tbf as you can imagine. Chester Bennington has fucked his over years but he's been screaming for a LOT more years. As big a fan as I was, clear to see their time has passed now. There was a time when I got a ticket regardless to a tour, now I don't bother.

silly poo

downvote wasn't me but you deserve it for that.

 

 

Don't know Gaslight really but enjoying the set so far. Kendrick is probably the only mainstage one I'm avoiding all day. Which fits in nicely with Manchester Orchestra so happy days.

 

Glad you're enjoying it, if it's the same as at Leeds though it's a bit poor if you know them. Haha don't blame you man, I don't mind Manchester Orchestra and for me it's a no brainer. I'd have done Coasts, WATO although I like some of Y&Y too but I'd have probably just stayed and caught the last song and a bit of Y&Y. If you like your indie but not so awful indie and don't have a clash, Coasts are decent enough, better than Jamie XX or Jamie T bollocks!

Imagine not thinking that Metallica would be band of the weekend at any festival they play at, by a country mile. Ridiculous live.

hang on is this sarcasm or not?

Also if you didn't come this year they're not accommodating for you next year, everything eFestivals hates (on average) was by far the best received stuff on site

Just got home. Day 3 thoughts

 

Lonely the Brave - Really good, seeing the singer stand centre stage is awesome as it was just two years ago on introducing that he was behind the drummer due to his stage fright

 

Against Me - Didn't know too many of the songs they played but were good nonetheless

 

Gaslight Anthem - Started with a whimper, ended well though. Missed the middle because of a clash.

 

Moose Blood - Brilliant, tent was rammed.

 

Kwabs - Had a few hours to kill so went and sat in the tent and listened to him, was fine enough.

 

Glass Animals - Shite, had to leave after a few songs

 

The Maccabees - A lot better than I was expecting, wasn't even planning on watching them. Tons more energy in their songs than I anticipated.

 

We Are The Ocean - Really good set, their vocalist is incredible at times.

 

Manchester Orchestra - Powerful

 

Kendrick Lamar - Not my cup of tea but was alright. Started and finished strong, bit of a lull in the middle. Crowd really into it.

 

Frank Turner - Was good, prefer it with full band though.

Just got home and I've got to say this year has probably been the best of the three Reading's I've been to. Weather was actually damn good for the majority of it, and managed to pitch in a decent spot in purple which wasn't turned to mush when the rain did start. 

 

The majority of the acts I saw were really good, with the highlights probably being Metallica, Kendrick, Foals and Limp Bizkit. The only act who really disappointed me were The Libertines who I thought were terrible. I was standing in the front section of the crowd maybe 8 or 9 rows back and it was hardly busy at all. Ended up leaving after 40 minutes because I couldn't be bothered.

 

Only real negatives were the walk to Tesco taking ridiculously long since there was no exit in orange camp, and the amount of knobs moshing for absolutely 0 (zero) reason. The worst was probably the moshes as alt-J played Matilda or when Catfish played Pacifier.

Any idea why the festival Republic stage was about 30 minutes ahead of what the programme said. Ended up missing we are the ocean

Thought seether and twin Atlantic were fantastic.

I've been to reading 4 years in a row now and I have to say the festival really is losing its charm.

Line ups are getting worse and worse and the people it's now attracting are just horrid.

Think I will just stick to download next year.
