"Reading, Leeds & V Festival 2004 (Plus Muse news)"

With 1 week until V and a few more until Reading and Leeds, I was wondering if anyone was going.

Which festival are you going to?
Which days? Weekend? Camping?
Which bands are you most looking forward to?

Incidently, Muse might have to pull out of the V Festival, as Chris has damaged his wrist. Unless they can get a replacement, or he gets the all-clear to play (which I doubt will happen, as they had to cancel their last three gigs from their US tour), then they're pulling out. If they do get a replacement, the set will be very limited.

An update...The Streets bassist has reportedly been practicing with Muse, and so it looks likely he'll be taking Chris' place. It won't be the same without Chris, and I just hope they can still perform a decent set.

I'm glad that Channel 4 have picked up the V Festival. I'll be watching it this weekend. I've been watching V2002 on ITV and it's been great, seeing some of my favourite bands playing live again. Next week, on ITV at the Festivals, Coral and Supergrass are playing, I think. YeY!

Does anyone know who's picked up the Reading and Leeds licence? I think it was MTV:2 last year.

I will be down the front for Eighties Matchbox, Har Mar and the icarus line

hope to see you there!

There is no Foo Fighters. Therefore I'm not too bothered about it. May watch it for Muse though.

Must we forget Greenday, Modest Mouse, The Streets and many, many more class acts?

Ash and Placebo, maybe not rubbish. But everything else on that list is.

(WAIT, THIS IS MY OPINION!!!)

Lost Prophets, Ash, The Offspring, Placebo rubbish?

When I saw them do a live gig on MTV:2, it seemed as if they didn't do too many live versions of songs. Y'know, the kind where they change bits of a song, to make it unique to a certain gig.

What did they play? Was it mostly songs from Sleeping With Ghosts?

They were supposed to be releasing a new album in May, but I haven't heard any more on that.

I saw them at Brixton Academy in London a few months back, but unfortunately it was the week I tore a ligament in my neck so had to stand to the side :(. They were still awesome though.

Damn you. Damn you!

I went down to Southampton to see Placebo, only to get there and find they had suddenly cancelled. Despite being let down big time, I'd still love to see Brian Molko in the flesh, rather then just looking at the poster I have of him above my bed. :cP

I'll probably think the same about your taste, everyone has their own opinion on what music they like.
