did warn ya huni and they arent doing day tickets this year-weekend tickets only :rolleyes:

Yeah true the line up isn’t great, but hopefully it will improve.
Anyway you need at least 1 band to throw bottles at right? Isn’t that why they got “My Chemical Romance” last year???? How long did they last, 10mins?
Anyway I’m sure it be a good experience.The only thing i didn't like last year was the bogs, they allmost killed me.

they arent releasing day tickets YET. Did this a couple of years ago when i went. Wait until it gets nearer the date andthey will start releasing tickets to make up their numbers. There is no way they wont want to maximise their profits !
And what's wrong with Kiss ! Saw them about 29 years ago, and they do put on a good show, even if you think that their music is dated. Once you have had a few beers you won't really care !

I like kiss, and i don't mind the other head acts, but they could have picked some better acts to headline.
I went to see Hayseed dixie last year in the small tent, well funny, and i got to the front.

Tis a rather poor lineup, and rip-off priced tickets. I'd rather fly to germany to this (W.O.A) which imo has a far better lineup. Also with the price of tickets into it, and cheap flights over, would cost about the same as weekend tickets to download! Hmmm now just a question of persuading my mates to do it too!

The Lostprophets absolutely owned the stage at Reading, to a crowd of about 40000... I was really quite amazed, I like them but I had no idea they could do that. Best crowd response I've ever seen for a mid-afternoon band, full stop. So, the only likely problem here is that the crowd will be full of bell ends who'll set out to ruin it for everyone else.

Still, I have to laugh, T in the Park gets Rage Against the Machine, Download gets the Offspring. I thought they were dead! Last time they played a festival I was at, they failed to live up to their 4pm slot, and that was back in the day.

Download headliners are traditionally mince though... Tool, Feeder, Audioslave...
