Not really a fair point Dom Dom Dom Dom, as it's DiS who gave the stage the 'new bands' alias, not Carling/Mean Fiddler.

I was wondering that. I was also wondering where her eyes were. Someone give them her back quick-sharp, or she'll walk into a big puddle.

Sleater Kinney at the new bands tent? Should be renamed the 'you emo sluts haven't heard of me' tent. The only half decent band to play Reading (along with the Go Team)

Re: New bands tent announced for Reading/Leeds

Im suprised Sleater Kinney aren't headlining the Carling Tent on the Saturday.
Im also disapointed that Ladytron are on at the same time as The Pixies, tough decision.
Anyway it's now confirmed that I will be spending most of my time in the new bands tent, as i do every year.

Not going anymore methinks. Haven't missed a Reading since 2000, but T In The Park eats its bollocks, so I'm going north.

I seriously doubt that. I've given TitP a miss every year since 2002, and haven't regretted it.

Re: New bands tent announced for Reading/Leeds

I immensely enjoyed it last year. Faithless, Massive Attack, Chem Brothers...some great artists who I wouldn't pay for a whole gig for, but excellent in the festival atmosphere.

This year is the same. Reading just doesn't provide anything different. Seeing Snoop at T will be fun for me, the same goes for your James Brown's and your Green Day's etc. Give us some novelty Reading, for X's sake.

I think Sleter Kinny will clash with Arcade Fire. Dilema!


Not that I'm going :-(

Pfft...I think the Carling Stage is really disappointing this year. Last year's was awesome. Devendra Banhart with his cross-legged ramblings about little animals and teeth.

fortunately for all you beautiful peeps i was far too busy propping up the bar to actually be in the new komakino video despite the fact i was only a few feet away from ryu's stinky feet.
it is important to bear in mind however that where we aphex twins are disadvantaged with mole-sight we more than make up for with the lengths of our fingers......makes sense really, i just neglected to read the small print before i applied *nonchalant shrug* xXx
