March 21, 201114 yr The line-up is appauling. The MCR/Beady Eye day especially. There's literally only 5/6 acts announces so far that I wouldn't mind seeing/seeing again...
March 21, 201114 yr I'm not entirely convinced it's real, lots of strange placings, like BMTH above NFG, and the fact they have even annouced that much line up, and Madness is a bit WTF. however, I would be fairly pleased if it was real, THE OFFSPRING :D magical photoshop job if it is fake.
March 22, 201114 yr http://media.livenation.co.uk/reading/KSfBAHk1/ZHCb0MZr/DPvc32fo/alcmEP4y/poster_launch_2011.jpg OFFSPRING, DEATH FROM ABOVE, DEFTONES, JANES ADDICTION, HENRY ROLLINS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 i think it's good yeah, i was expecting worse (every other year seems weaker, 2008 amazing, 2009 average, 2010 amazing etc), but lots of great bands there.
March 22, 201114 yr I'm seriously unimpressed with it tbh. Was considering going but after I saw the line-up I decided against it (was probably too late for tickets anyway)! The only headliner I'd be interested in seeing is the The Strokes...I think Muse would put on a great show but not a big fan of them anymore really. I agree with Harve about Friday, although I'd definitely see Noah & the Whale, Patrick Wolf and Metronomy too.
March 22, 201114 yr Weekend tickets are still not sold out! first time i've ever seen them still on sale after 3 hours. i think a mixture of price and line up is making Reading much weaker than usual.
March 22, 201114 yr The occasional good band hidden in the midst of utter rubbish. DFA1979 should hopefully play Glastonbury too. PLEASE. Edited March 22, 201114 yr by ▲▲▲
March 22, 201114 yr The occasional good band hidden in the midst of utter rubbish. DFA1979 should hopefully play Glastonbury too. PLEASE. Death From Above is gonna be mental. infact i'm definatly not dissapointed in the line up, but i think mainly i just don't care as i'm going to Glastonbury this year and it will $h!t all over Reading.

Word. The video of Death From Above playing SXSW this weekend is insane. Riots! Edited March 22, 201114 yr by ▲▲▲
March 22, 201114 yr Word. The video of Death From Above playing SXSW this weekend is insane. Riots! oh i know right, i saw that just after Reading got annouced last night, was very f*** YEAH. i can just imagine the atmosphere for them at Reading now aswell, i still feel silly for missing out on tickets to them at London Forum.
March 22, 201114 yr I agree with Harve about Friday, although I'd definitely see Noah & the Whale, Patrick Wolf and Metronomy too. Same, I was more referring to the main stage. Oh and Noah & The Whale are one of the worst live bands I've ever seen, just so you know.
March 22, 201114 yr Same, I was more referring to the main stage. Oh and Noah & The Whale are one of the worst live bands I've ever seen, just so you know. woah woah woah, friday mainstage had Deftones and The Offspring IN A ROW, gonna be the best two bands in a row the whole weekend.
March 22, 201114 yr Same, I was more referring to the main stage. Oh and Noah & The Whale are one of the worst live bands I've ever seen, just so you know. Noah & The Whale are just terrible in general.
March 26, 201114 yr I actually quite like the line-up, would have been going Leeds if we hadn't booked a holiday for 15 of us starting on the Bank Holiday Friday :( I do actually like MCR, not sure about them as headliners though. 30STM were great live when I saw them and I'm sure Offspring will be brilliant. Strokes I'm sure will put on a good show, all about Pulp on that day though. Muse are a very safe bet, you can guarantee "Knights of Cydonia" bringing the whole festival to a close brilliantly.
March 26, 201114 yr i am genuinely impressed by the line up this year (much better than last time if i remember right!) it would seem so weird to have acts like little boots and la roux up there now, yet it was only 2 years ago when they were. HOPING i can get a ticket to leeds, my friend might be able to sell me one so figers crossed. it's just a shame that i'm going to have to choose between the strokes and crystal castles :(
