Have read previously that many have used Gumtree to source last minute cheap tickets for Reading. What is everyone's experience of the site? Any idea of the safeguards? Few have appeared online already but unsure if they're genuine.

i only ever use gumtree if i can meet them in person for the ticket.

Quick question. My friend bought her ticket and is no longer coming to the festival. Can another friend but it off her and take her ID as proof (since the names are different) or is this not possible?

The chances of the ticket being checked is slim

Even if it's 'checked', R+L don't have any problem with different names on tickets (as far as I know) as they allow and even encourage ticket resales. so there's nothing to worry about.

I dunno. We have no idea what deadlines and shit they need to work to for the record company and the schedules of staff involved and leasing the studios and all that bullshit.

Rest of the line up should be forthcoming in the next week or so shouldn't it? I don't think they've announced in August before. I suppose it'll just be the smaller stages but I'm interested to see how the stages are filled out and how prospective clashes look; it's a big player in my thoughts on a day ticket.

Seen Dinosaur Pile-up a few times, supporting Weezer and Ash.

pretty good to be fair, will prob watch as my Friday is looking a bit grim at the moment.A few I'll prob check out but so far I've only got Thrice that I definately want to see.

On the subject of Thrice, their new album is amazing.

Personally,I can't believe Thrice are not huge.Really underrated

I'm really looking forward to them this year, now they play all of the classics again. Saw them on the Main Stage in 2010 and it was the most boring set I've ever seen. Totally disinterested and the setlist was beyond poor. The only downer on the best day of music I've ever attended.

After a huge Saturday night, I didn't get up I time to see them on the Sunday morning.Sounds like I didn't miss much,haha

      Primavera Sound 2026

      Agree. Also there was a lot more crossing over between stages. I know they need to put the cure, the xx and Gorillaz on the main stages but if they could have put your Blood Orange, Big Thief, Baxter Dury on Cupra and Occident with Jade and Pinkpantheress on the main stages, it would have been a massive improvement.

      100% THIS! I haven't quite been able to put my finger on it, but I think you've just nailed why I didn't enjoy this year as much as usual. In last years edition, the likes of Slowdive or Big Thief would have had evening slots at Cupra or Occident, instead of being shoved on to the main stages during the day. Apart from the very biggest acts (ie The Cure, the pop headliners), most performances at Mordor just lack that special "wow, I'm so lucky to be here" feeling that I remember from the Jesus Lizard and Anhoni sets that you've mentioned.  Sidenote: I wonder if there's a decent chunk of ticket holders that gravitate towards Mordor simply because it's the biggest stage, without really caring who's playing at that time, thus the increased (and incredibly noticeable) yapping.

      Some horrible talkers around me as well for that one. Plus the mobile beer taps pressing through almost all the way to the front, which really should be illegal.
