So yeah! I'm back, came back on Monday afternoon, from the lovely rock festival that is Reading, and I;ve already bought my ticket for next years one, doh! lol.

So yeah might as well list all the bands I saw so I can tally them up and work out if it was worth the money, lol, here goes...


Friday

Sonic Boom Six
The Ghost of a Thousand
Flatliners
Holly Walsh
Tim Minchin
Streetlight Manifesto
Deftones
Kaiser Cheifs (don't ask me why)
FAITH NO MORE

Saturday

Eagles Of Death Metal
THEM CROOKED VULTURES
Mad Caddies
The Bronx
The Prodigy
Silent Disco (not technically a band but great nontheless)

Sunday

Gallows
AFI
Lostprophets

(yeah, I kinda wasted the sunday sleeping, which was good as I got no sleep that night, lol)

-----------------------------

So yeah, I had a fun time and it works out at around 11 quid an act which is perfect, i'd have paid fifty quid to see Faith No More alone, unquestionably the best band of the weekend, so much fun.
Streetlight Manifesto were on good form like always and had everyone bouncing much like the Mad Caddies who were equally good. Sonic Boom Six were a slight dissapointment cos they really shouldn't have played Main Stage, it doesn't suit them, a smaller venue would have been better methinks, still fun though.

The rioting on Sunday night was a little scarier this year but nothing bad happened near us which was good. All in all a grand weekend and I can't wait for next year, praying for a better lineup of Headliners though

I Wish I Saw...

Hugh Lennon And Hypno Dog (twice in a row I've missed this guy, damn)
Bouncing Souls

Mariachi El Bronx (I blame the BHS Breakfast for stalling me)
Maximo Park
Lethal Bizzle
Frank Turner
Rumble Strips
