Aye the excitement is really kicking in now. Just need those set times released so we can finally see those clashes.

Yes! Can't wait to watch a close friend get gaffa taped to a chair and get my tent pelted by semi-rotten tangerines on Sunday afternoon!

I'm only going to Reading on the Friday, is wellys necessary? (If weather is fine?) As I went last year on the Saturday only and the only place I needed wellys was walking in to the arena after the day entry gate.

The fashion of wearing wellies whatever the weather at festivals is a relatively new thing!

In 19 Readings, so 57 days (of actual open arena) in total, I think I've worn wellies maybe 6-7 days at most  

Theyre really not necessary unless there's been a lot of heavy rain, esp as a day tripper as opposed to camper. 

That said, don't wear your best shoes!

I'm good mates with the guys in The Wired, went to secondary with one of them and sixth form with the rest. Great guys. Would recommend them if you like stuff like Catfish and Courteeners.

That nearly sounded like 'THE HUNNA' facebook ad I keep getting.

Fan of Catfish? You'll love The Hunna!

Fan of Miley Cyrus? You'll love The Hunna!

 

I'll check The Wired out :)

I haven't got my tickets yet and I'm going away on Monday to see family and not coming home until after the festival. What happens if I don't get my tickets before then - is there somewhere to collect on site or do I have to go all the way home 

Probably best to contact your point of sale. See if they can arrange for your delivered to tickets to be cancelled and to instead collect them at the festival. I've done this when I've forgotten gig tickets before and they've arranged for a new set to be available for collection with ID. The earlier you do this the better as they can take time to respond. Try all channels (email, phone, twitter etc.)

Thanks, will do! Does anyone on here have a site map for Reading by the way? And one other thing does anyone find it odd that the stage times haven't come out? I use clashfinder and stuff but I'm sure last year the main stage was announced a few weeks prior to the festival.

They usually start rolling out the times from about Sunday/Monday before the festival starting with the Main Stage

      I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.

      I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise

      Trent said he’s working on new Nine Inch Nails musicnand that Coachella was the farewell show for Nine Inch Noize.   Would be over the moon to have any of the options at Prima 2027, though
