There's something for everyone (unless you're a pop fan). The atmosphere was really good, it's within walking distance of the town centre for supplies, the bands were incredible. I highly recommend u go.
I'm guessing from your name that you are female. In that case, make sure you go with a few friends, and if you're under 15 it's probably a good idea to wait a year or 2. I'm thinking here about the rape.
But if you're careful, you should have a great time. I know i did. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

The best British festival next year will probably be Glastonbury, unbeatable atmosphere. I went in '99 (I was 17) and some scallies tried to rob me at knife-point, it was my first festival and it was awsome, but be careful.
There is a thread on here somewhere about festival horror stories, find it 'cos it's pretty funny.
My advice is to wait until you see an excellent line-up before committing, I've been Glasto, Leeds and Reading... V looked pretty crap this year (except Muse). I rekon Glasto will rule this year (if it's on) so keep your eyes open!
make sure u take loads of booze, you'll need it esp. thursday night when nothing to do..
and make sure good bands are playing and u don't have to sit through the likes of feeder and opm etc.......
won tickets backstage once and saw John peel and Ian Brown - god the Stone Roses were so bad that year!
Stopped going when I styarted to feel old but wish I went this year to see the Cult, Marylin Manson and Eminem
Not a patch on Glastonbury in terms of atmosphere and content. Glasto is so much bigger, and the focus is a lot more on meeting people and having a great experience while Reading is more about the music.
