Just with a weak Reading year I could imagine some of the Reading goers in to heavier music may decide to go to Soni instead

I'm really happy with the headliners as I haven't had the chance to see any of them; largely to the fact that Reading have pulled me in every year with a couple of great, rare bands

There is no definitively weak and strong, just subjectively good and bad.

Of course Reading will lose people to Soni, and also to Download and V and T, but will get people from V and Download and IOW, and so on and so on, dependent on the line-up of each festival. It's what happens in such a competitive marketplace, as Soni flaking out for two years showed.

However I highly doubt Soni having Metallica and Maiden is going to be a nail in the coffin for Reading.

I don't think that'd be too bad at all. Probably wildly unrealistic though.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
