Reading Festival 2009 - Rumours, Confirmations, and WHO GOING?

So far, the indications suggest Friday: Radiohead, Sat: Arctic Monkeys, Sun: Kings of Leon

And, unless website fail me, should be our year to go. First time since 2004.

.. today, lineup and tickets onsale.

i haven't been since they increased the capacity by another 20,000 and i decided
i didn't like paying £175 to be stuck with a load of first time away from parents free-hugs
people in a field for 3 days invariably soundtracked by primal scream.
always a small amount of really good stuff but never enough to make me endure the weekend.

liek ur poem

I haven't been since 2002. Two factors prompted this - nu-metal/mallcore crowds and me moving away from Reading so I'd have to camp with said toilet-burning dickheads instead of going back home at the end of the night. Dunno what it's like nowadays, might be OK again for all I know but the line-up's probably not much better.
