  1. Over-18 wristbands?

    in Reading Festival

    Posted

    I got an over-18 wristband last year when i was on the way in with a fake id that looked nothing like me. The girl gave me a bit of a sceptical look but still gave me it. I think you'd be fine getting one with fake id.

    I never actually tried to use the wristband/id to buy alcohol on -site but tesco accepted the id fine so just get stuff there and bring it down :)

  2. Travelling - from Glasgow!?

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    You can get the megabus from glasgow to london and then london to reading (and then back up obviously), works out at about £30-40 return so it's great if you don't mind buses

    I always see people saying you can get the train down cheap but having looked at the prices the hour the tickets became available, I've never seen them for anything below £120?

    I think they might headline TITP next year. From what i've heard the Scots go mental over Scottish bands, so I doubt it would be too conversational if they headlined.

    Considering they're subbing at IOW and Download and headlined Sonisphere last year. Surely they can't be that far off? Considering Arcade Fire and MCR have headlined in the last two years, and Biffy are bigger than both were before the line up was announced, I really can't see that popularity is really that much of a problem.

  9. WORST BANDS YOU'VE EVER SEEN

    in Reading & Leeds Festivals

    Posted

    Love Letters - supporting Panic! at the Disco last may, I went to a couple dates and they seemed to get more comfortable on stage as the tour went on but they were just terrible.

    Blood On The Dancefloor - warped '11. someone I was with liked them and when I went to meet him he was watching them. Not really sure how they have any fans at all.

    S.C.U.M - supporting The Kills in may last year at the ABC

    Prima Donna - supporting Green Day at the SECC in 2009

    LostAlone - supporting MCR I think in march last year? at the secc. no idea how they got on that tour.

    Frankie & The Heartstrings - supporting florence & the machine in 2009

  10. Your clashes?

    Posted

    Basing off of this http:///s/readingfestival2k12/?user=00hhrt.yq& I have:

    The Cure/ Sleigh Bells - might just leave the cure early to watch sleigh bells.

    OFWGKTA/ Santigold/ Grimes/ Don Broco - not sure. probably odd future.

    Enter Shikari/ Billy Talent/ Modestep/ We Are The In Crowd - worst. clash. so upset. actually not sure what i'll do.

    Florence/ Azaelia Banks/ Young Guns - thinking azaelia then go catch the rest of florence.

    Foo Fighters/ Justice - since it's a special occasion and it's where all my friends'll be i'm pretty sure i'll be at foos.

    So one terrible one but all in all not so bad.

  19. Travelling from Scotland

    in Reading Festival

    Posted

    If you want to get there quick, you're better flying then getting the train from Gatwick to Reading. I think that costs around £100 tho

    If you wanna get there cheap, megabus! Glasgow to Reading costs about £30. It does take a lot longer than flying, but you can get one overnight and if you don't mind buses & want to save money it's the best choice.

    I don't think a lot of scottish people go, we got a lot of 'you're scottish, why didn't you go to leeds?' last year but there is some :)

    Were Paramore really that bad in 2010? I've seen them a couple times, both in outside & inside settings and they were amazing, one of the best live bands I've seen.

    I would also say they're a really strong booking as nowhere else has them this year, this is the first time they'll be back in the UK after Josh & Zac left, they've not played here for 2 years, they sold out arenas the last two tours they did here & they'll attract a lot of first time festival goers, they're very popular with the school leavers age.
