Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festival 2003

[Guest QuickSilver]

I was just wondering is anyone on the boards going to anyone on the boards going to any of the festivals this weekend? and what do you think about the lienup this year?

I am going to the Leeds shows because Reading had sold out before i could get my weekend tickets. I personally think the lineup this year is going to be great. Metallica and Blink 182 i can not wait to see along with other bands like The Used, AFI, Ataris and SOAD.

God. I wish I lived there. I'd give one of my lungs to be able to attend the Reading Festival.

Lots of crap I can't stand... but there's a good mix of great stuff too.

[color=002E55]You don't by any chance go to the Muse.mu board do you, Quicksilver? lol.

I'm going to Leeds this weekend with a bunch of friends, hopefully meeting a few people there too. Can't wait to see AFI, and as much as I don't really like The Used, I've heard some of their live stuff and it sounds pretty good. Guess I'll have to wait and see. It's gonna be one hell of a festival, heh. :D[/color]

Let's see... System, Datsuns, Placebo, Blur, Beck, Cave In, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Music, Grandaddy, Hot Hot Heat, Raveonettes, Interpol, AFI, Mars Volta, Squarepusher, Alkaline Trio, Boysetsfire, Turbo Negro and Poison the Well.

Leeds would rock too.

I hate you guys.

nah i dont go to Muse.mu board, lol. Americans have had a lot of great tours and concerts. a few times a year we get a good concert. I am looking forward to hearing a few up and coming English bands like Finch and Inme. Also since the release of Gaybar i think that going to the Electric six stage will have its enjoyment.

The big difference is that most of ours are very seperated. There's a few bigger tours liked Warped or Ozzfest of Lollapalooza (whatever it is)... but generally if I want to see most of these guys, I have to attend like a dozen shows.

I'd love to be able to go to that.

I have been recovering all day and now i am going to give my thoughts on the festival. First off this was the first festival i have been to and it was a great experience. All of the bands i wanted to see i saw except for Good Charlotte, The Used, Sugercult and All American Rejects because i didnt get there until quite late on the Friday because i live a good few hundred miles form Leeds. Anyway all of the bands i did see did not dissapoint me except for Hundred reasons, i didnt think they were thay good. Also AFI were brilliant and they were a great way to end the Festival.
