Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

And it isn't 2005 where I live, despite popular belief.

It's not glastonbury - there's very little else to do bar watching acts at reading

Most people going either go socially, or because they like the lineup

but I wouldn't argue that those going socially at least have 5 minimum acts they will be seeing.

Literally not one person has suggested otherwise...

But what else would they do if they went "just because it was local"?

They go because it's the closest festival for them to go to, get fucked with their mates and see a few acts.

Might just be me, but it's very practical for me to go to IOW due to me living right by the ferry place

I don't.. because year by year the lineup is w*nk. Remember this is 200 quid were talking about, in this day and age that's alot.

Yeah I was joking Babyquack

You're a big enough music fan to post on a forum dedicated to festivals. These people aren't, they wanna go away for a weekend with their mates and see some acts they enjoy on the radio. They ain't bloody Radiohead fans.

I know 2 people that aren't going to R&L. One is going to Download (which is around about he same distance to R&L for me) and the other is going to T. Most are going to Leeds as it is local but with Download close and Creamfields that too far. Most of those are going because their mates to get drunk (seems like a waste of £200 for something you can do at home but each to their own I guess) but there are a few of them that like the line up.

Why?

[Gucci Piggy]

Why?

How many people do you know going to R&L?

[Gucci Piggy]

[the wonderwhy]

its not 2005 anymore, no one does that - even the locals aren't as much anymore!

I'm going mainly because it's a good weekend. Whilst I think the lineup is decent enough it's far from great & if I didn't know I'd have a good time regardless of who I'm seeing I wouldn't be going.

I still think if you asked people why the timing & the reputation is has would be major factors for most people.

Over 50. I even went through my friends list and that was the people I knew who are going but to be I hate a few of them. Fucking typical yobos (sorry for that, they're a bunch of twats who will go to get fucking drunk and probably just see Macklemore and Meridian Dan and his fucking German Whip song and be a bunch of pricks. In short I hate a few of them, soz for that out burst of rage). But it looks like I'm going with my best mate who appreciates music to some degree.

[Com Truise]

see man driving a german whip

[Gucci Piggy]

Genuinely

I was making a joke because you said you know 2 people that aren't going to R&L. Ffs.

[mattgimmeshelter]

see man driving a german whip

[Gucci Piggy]

Why do you hate so many people justanothername you're like a small box of rage that hates everything.

[Com Truise]
