The issue is booking acts with sod all notice rather than the festival being able to fit it in

[NerdsNatterings]

I'm not sure if the arena is open yet but if anyone is, are there any interesting tour posters about?

[VCK]

Not my picture, but the Main Stage is looking weird.

[JSmurphy]

Decent screens those are. 

[Matt42]

That’s the same stage as BST right? 

[BeddingatReading]

Anyone listening to the new 1975 song? (people) VERY different to their old stuff but I kinda like it...

[ob123]

Well the 1975 are the best band in the world 

[Jericode]

Haven't seen any new tour announcements. Lots of posters for albums and the YMAS Gunnersville show.

Those screens look like the screens from chochella.

Maybe if any more rappers pull out they should just give us some chocolate rather than a replacement.

Something that's actually a good idea from Reading Festival. Thought I was going to pass out during the Arctic Monkeys back in 2014, so I can only see this as a good thing.

[BeddingatReading]

I don’t think it’s gonna work personally. Looks really far back too

[JSmurphy]

All for it. Never experienced a crush at any gig or festival like being near the front for Kendrick last year.

Only bit I can see being a pain is when bands finish and idiots try shoving their way out. Nice idea though, as i imagine the crowd for Billie eilish is a concern if the numbers that are expected show up. hope it works out for them

The one thing I don’t agree with is that they’re specific about saying you can only move in AND OUT between acts. So if you don’t think a band is very good live, or if you don’t want to do a whole set (like I couldn’t do three whole hours of Foos without a piss break) are you stuck in there???

Finally, an end to broken ribs

I'm sure they'll let you out and back in if it's quiet. But yeah, I don't see being able to move in/out freely during the headliners. But that's how it's always been with a huge impenetrable crowd anyway.

Yeah I disagree with not allowing movement during acts but it's a starting point. By Sunday, they'll probably realise exactly what is and what isn't a good idea in terms of crowd movement.

If anyone has day tickets for Reading today can you let me know how long it’s taking to get in, like queue, wristband & getting into the arena please?
