Can you add "if a leak of a supposed magazine shot happens two weeks before the line-up is revealed, it's highly likely to be fake, especially if it has sellotape all over it"?

There's no "highly likely" - it *IS* fake.

The only real 'leaked' posters I've seen in 12 years of doing efests have appeared the day before. One was a poster put up in error in a London tube station a little early, and last year's which came from someone at the press where nme is printed.

Anything sooner than 1 day before can safely be assumed as a fake.

And cos the fakers will now read this, expect a gash of them one day before this year - and ignore them all. You'll be on hugely safer ground than believing any one of them.

What are the main differences between Reading & Leeds in terms of atmosphere, trouble (is reading that bad?) whats on when the bands stop?

If i go it will probably be to Leeds (even tho i'm A LOT closer to Reading, as I have heard rumours about the trouble at reading)

Apologies if this has been asked before. i'm sure it has

Can we also have Metallica don't play every 5 years and TITP don't have to share a single headline with R&L every year as I get tired of explaining it to Gazza every other week.

Here are the last two threads about it:

/topic/167448-reading-or-leeds/">http://www.efestival...ading-or-leeds/

/topic/161817-reading-or-leeds/">http://www.efestival...ading-or-leeds/

The main difference is that Reading is in a town and so has limited entertainment after the music but access to amenties while Leeds is out in the open so has a lot more to do after hours but no access to shops/pubs during the day.

The trouble has got a lot better in the alst couple of years, there are restrictions on Sunday night fires at Reading that seems to have done the trick.

[dirtymookie]

There's a new Tesco that's slightly closer than the old one depending on where you camp.

[mrtourette]

The new one, although you still have to get over the river and through the site:

I might just start that thread myself on the 12th and answer it straight away.

On the topic of Leeds having no access to shops, there are shuttle buses from the site to Tesco that run throughout the day, so it is still possible to nip out and top up supplies if needs be

[mrtourette]

Cool, I'd add something about that to the OP.

[mrtourette]

Added question about day splits.
