Kanye West

[Hawky]

Chav is the technical term.

Kanye would be class. He is "the biggest rock star in the world" but I think he is a c**t anyone else think he's a c**t?

I think there's a many in the same boat about this across the land, it has changed a hell of a lot.

On the Drowned in Sound review of this year's festival it commented extensively on the changing face of Reading and how depressing it is that one of the world's legendary rock festivals has changed it's lineup from the one that used to cater mostly to the alternative crowd with Rammstein hoodies and tipp-ex on their backpacks to one for the Topman trendies having a post exam piss-up/rave.

The worst thing about reading is the posh rich sixth formers getting drunk away from mummy and daddy for the first time, thinking they are some sort of party animal.

I've had the misfortune of dealing with plenty every time I've been...

One girl got so drunk she set her hair on fire deliberately, now that's an accurate stereotype.

I hope R&L aren't even thinking about Jay-Z, he bored the hell out of me when I saw him, and stopped playing 'Hard Knock Life' or whatever it's called when people didn't sing along

[Gravyshambles]

Vermin is a good one to use

Yeah the kids are better at Leeds because Northerners drink alcohol from being toddlers

[Gucci Piggy]

And there's less drug use at Leeds. Everyone relies on gravy for their highs.

there is a ridiculous amount of people taking drugs at Reading though. And from what I've seen/heard, a lot of them are first timers which explains so many of the problems the festival has tbh...

[Tobieski]

Girls associated with me and my friends were literally picking up packets of drugs off of the floor and taking them, fucking degenerates

Now that is pretty scary. It is terrible when you here about fatalities at festivals but when people have that kind of attitude I'm surprised there's not more

We met these guys (quite nice mind you) and we went with them to yellow after talking for around 1 and 1/2 hours and one of them see his mates and a girl comes up to them to ask if they were going to yellow and could they help them there. Half of our group go on ahead and we are left with his drugged up mates. Later on we find this girl in his tent about to do lines of MDMA after only meeting him 10 mins ago and her reason was that "she never tried it"

[Hawky]

Drink gravy to get high? If only... that's the only thing that could make Yorkshire Puddings amd gravy better.

I doubt Kanye would bring a the same sort of crowd as Eminem/C&S, the place would just be awash with hipsters.

As for the retarded 'if they booked Eminem they could book Kanye because they're both hip-hop' argument, they're completely different artists with different images, audiences, festival histories and connections to the demographic. It's like saying 'if Green Day can headline then so can Nickelback because they're both rock music'.

Leeds is the same as Reading. Full of mongs who are away from home for the first time and think that gives them an excuse to make divs of themselves. Difference is, they're from places like Burnley, Hull and Preston...

Is it true the Yaya/Kolo Toure chant was commonly heard at Leeds this year? One of the most annoying chants in football, everyone else seems to love it though. You'd think Man City were the first set of fans to repeatedly chant a player's name, although I bet the people involved weren't even Citeh fans, but supporters of other clubs who have had them as their "second team" ever since they started winning trophies...

I first heard that when Bolton fans were singing it about Jussi Jaaskelainen. Before it got mainstream.
