Who's going?

After a nightmare of a time last year, it hasn't put me off!! I'm going again this year, only on my todd, to meet up with people when I get there. Hopefully this year I won't need to miss the bands I like so everyone else can see what they like lol.

So.... who's going? Who's not going? Who's enthralled with the line up so far, who's enraged by the lineup???

    i dont particularly want to go to download cos its full of bell ends and i wouldn't "fit in", would really like to see KISS tho, altho i think they will be doing a UK tour around Download so i might wait and see what happens on that front.

    otherwise i'm considering going just to see KISS, then getting the flock out of there.

    I'm going to Leeds, instead. Although it depends on what the rest of the line up will be for Download, and also Leeds.

    Seeing as Reading & leeds is turing into an indie wankfest its Download all the way for me now. Might only be going for the one/two days though, I will be tagging along if my brother and his girlfriend decide to go.

    Plus The Offspring are headlining and that alone makes me very happy. :hyper:

    I do totally agree about Reading, though, if rumours are to believed, and the site I got them off (www.e-festivals.co.uk) is normally on the money, the headliners for Friday and Sunday are going to be Rage Against The Machine and Metallica respectively.

    If it's true, it'll be the best line-up since '03, arguably since '00 when Rage last played. It'll be worth the ticket price along just to see those two.

    http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/lineups.php?FestID=2142 for their rumours.

    LTJ, QOTSA (who I saw on Monday with Rich - they fucking ruled), Rage and Metallica would cetainly be a weekend to make anyone's willy hard.

    I'm tempted by that lineup as well, and again it'd be the first time i'd have been back since i was 19/20.

    That would actually be the first decent line-up they've had at Reading & Leeds for some years (plus I had heard they organisers wanted it to be more "metal" this year). Plus RATM are headlining T in the Park and one or two of the headliners tend to do Reading and Leeds as well as its all oragnised by Mean Fiddler.
