Reading Festival.

[WhingForPresident]

Anyone else going later?
Off to pick up my tickets from the Hexagon in a few hours
I remember seeing a Seagulls flag right at the front of the main arena during the Killers last year, but couldn't find a way through to shout SEAGULLLLSSSS.
Bad fan.

 

[Mr Banana]

Good lad. What you gonna do tonight and tomorrow? I'm not going til Friday, but my mates who have got early bird tickets just left with my tent and all my stuff...chauffeur-stylee...

Can't decide whether to wear the stripes.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Dropping TRHK Jr and three mates there tomorrow am after they pick up their GCSE results.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Gave up on Reading & Leeds. If you have quite a wide-range of musical tastes it must be awesome, but I found I was paying £200 to watch 5 bands that I really wanted to see, and get kept up all night by 16 yr olds acting like knobs and thinking its "rioting".

 

[Mr Banana]

I'll be well chuffed if the rest of this thread turns into a list of everyone who's not going and thinks Reading is a pile of shit, that would be fascinating to read.

 

[clarkey]

Will be there in the stripes as of tomorrow

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Reading and Leeds ? Both intimidating places.

I'm off to get a decent pitch and such tonight. I think it opens at 6 so i'll be in straight away.
Want to make sure i don't go through all my festy essentials before it starts though...
Its tipping with rain in Reading at the moment, if anyones interested.
And i will be wearing the stripes If i see anyone else wearing them, i'll stop and shake your hand and probably shout SEEEAAAGULLLSSS.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Oh if anyone wants to come and say hello, i'll be pitched next to the Rivermead leisure centre in Red camp.
Come over and have a bevvie or two

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Festy essentials? What would you put down as the five absolute essentials that a newbie might not bring WFP?

They just aren't going to have the same acts as I'm used to seeing there.
AC/DC with Bon Scott, Rory Gallagher, The Faces, Traffic, Thin Lizzy, Grobschnitt, Focus, Yes, Cockney Rebel, Wishbone Ash, Genesis with Gabriel, and EVERYTHING.

 

[brighton_tom]

I'll be there!

Gonna be a pretty good weekend. Think there is about 20 in our group...

Should probably wear the stripes, would be rude not too...

 

[B-Rad]

thought i'd dig this back up after getting home today. saw a few of us out in force, heard some anti-palarse songs, a guy with cox on the back, people shouting 'seeeeeaaaguuuulllllllls' at me from various distances. good times.

 

[Marc]

I shook hands and had a chat with the chap with Cox on his back, lovely stuff. f***ing brilliant weekend as well, don't think anything will ever top that (err...apart from Edinburgh last weekend...but that's saying summat)
