looks like an amazing lineup

well, i'm at least in the running (won a couple of cds from hfs, and now qualified to go)

I am.
Looking forward to it. Went to Glastonbury though, and that's the best festival I've ever been to, I'm sure it can't be beaten. Plus the line-up at Glasto had headliners Oasis, Paul McCartney and Muse which is pretty unbeatable.
I'll also probably be going to Pukkelpop in Belgium, for the sheer fact that Velvet Revolver are among the confirmed acts, it's a shame Reading had already booked so much acts to not be able to book them.

Ah well, my summer's been perfect so far in terms of music.
I've seen Slayer, Metallica (twice), Paul McCartney, Oasis, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers and LOADS more.

I've been to Reading...
