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

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...

So how many peeps actually going? I'm leaving in less than 24hrs, woo! The likes of seether, BFMV, disturbed, simple plan, ash, 36 crazyfists...gonna be wicked.
