Who's going to the Carling Weekend this year?

I'm heading down to Reading on my own this year, cos my friends were too lazy when it came to purchasing tickets. Anyone fancy meeting? It's my birthday on the Friday whilst there as well, so would be good to celebrate with some veganish types :)

What do you think of the line-up? Who you looking forward to seeing?

Hello again frosty- our paths seem to cross in the festival forum :D

I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread instead of starting a new one! I'm off to the 'other half' of the festival at Leeds so if anyone would like a veggie burger with me it'd be great to meet up!

I'm looking forward to The King Blues <3, Big D and the Kids Table, !!!, Sonic Boom Six and the Mad Caddies :D

I also reccomend [/URL][URL="http://www.sensorcom.com/product.asp?P_ID=975&strPageHistory=related"]Earplugs (http://www.sensorcom.com/product.asp?P_ID=975&strPageHistory=related) (i ordered from these people and got my package within 2 days) as I damaged my hearing at the concrete jungle stage in 2002. By standing next to a stack for 8 hours. :o I think it's important for people to remember the damage you can do as well as having fun, of course! :)

Not at all. I was wondering after I posted if whether there was a way of changing the title to Reading and Leeds.

I was told by doctors that I should wear earplugs at gigs, as I've only got one ear that works. Should do it really.

Bit gutted Thrice have pulled out. Was meant to see them support Thursday few years back and they pulled out then as well. Still, got The Bronx playing! Can't remember who else is playing now... lol.

http://readingfestival.com/lineup/ ? :p You should get the ones I linked to- they have adjustable filters for different sound levels, and are designed for music. :)

Oh my, how did I forget out the Pumpkins? Well... Billy and Jimmy anyway... Bit worried about seeing them. I saw them on their 'farewell tour' at Wembley, and they were so good, if they're rubbish this time around it's going to ruin it for me I think. Bands shouldn't reform.

But, but he makes fun of my taste in music and asks if men who say I'm pretty had a guide dog and a white stick :(.

He might end up buried under his patio if he married me :mad:.

Billy and Jimmy write nearly everything anyway. The biggest put off for me, is that that they play everything far too fast live. The footage from Live Earth is just as bad as when they released Mellon Collie.

The best live line up was with Matt Walker on drums back at Glastonbury in 96ish. He kept their pace under control. I wish I still had that on Video :(

i haven't been since it stopped being a REAL rock/metal event - i agree paul!!

what people call rock nowadays (*shows age*) isn't rock of then, 'rock' now is more pop.

Leeds was ace and very vegan friendly! There were about 4 different vegan food stands selling falafel, mexican burgers, tofu burgers, soup, hummus and pittas, vegeatable burgers, cakes and they had egg free mayo- fantastic! :D

The bands were aweosme too but I thought people here might be more interested in the vegan side of things! :D
