"Reading/Leeds Festival line-up"

Confirmed so far...

Foo Fighters
The Pixies
Iron Maiden (!)
The Killers
Kasabian
Queens of the Stone Age (oh yes)
The Coral
Elbow
Kings of Leon (hell yeah)
Razorlight
The Charlatans
Iggy and the Stooges
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Bloc Party
The Futureheads
Marilyn Manson (um... wow)

and more. Not massively enamoured to be honest but it's enough to be getting on with. Foos, Queens, Killers and Kings will all do me very nicely indeed thank you. There'll be plenty more join the line-up before August too, I'm sure, and most listed above are exclusive to the festival.

Anyone got a line up for V?

lazy, see

Yes. Yes I would very much, email me sir

First time I won't be going to Reading for 3 years. Wanna see The Pixies and Iggy, but seen Iggy before. Probably mess around the campsite for the weekend though.

That seems like such a summer lineup (if you get what I mean).

The 5 days I spent at Glastonbury in 1998 were pretty cool. I still maintain that was the last good festival line-up, which is why I haven't been to any since.

Manic Street Preachers
Skunk Anansie
Super Furry Animals
Fun Loving Criminals (with their gangster acting school)
Fatboy Slim followed by...
Chemical Brothers
Ash (when they were good)
Gay Dad (remember them?)
Al Green (THE biggest crowd I've ever seen)
er...Blondie
And Bodger and Badger! (yay)

+ loads more...

Pretty easy to dismiss one of the best rock bands in the last five years just by claiming everyone likes them for their most famous single that happens to be on MTV2 a lot. If you don't like 'em then fair enough, but they've got at least three albums full of brilliant songs, most of which are better than No One Knows.

EDIT: And incidentally, would you like a spare Kings of Leon ticket for the Apollo in Hammersmith in June?

Wasn't a fan of Nirvana so watching Toothy pump 2nd rate rock at me isn't a thrill.
And QOTSA, like 99% of you, means "No-One Knows". Which I have on CD.

Last time I went to Reading I stayed in the Trusthouse Forte next door with a toilet, clean bed & shower and windows to shut out Bjork.

No Queens? No Foos? Ah come on...

That's all I'd be interested in. Except the idea of spending 3days in a tent surrounded by drunks shouting and setting fire to things doesn't warrant it.
Been there done that etc

Double post.
