Yellowledbetter

So is anyone else planning on going this year or if you have in the past,whats it been like and how have you travelled?
Going over for the first time this year,had enough of Irish Festivals over the past 12 years or so,time for a change me thinks.
We might aswell use this thread for rumours n stuff too,not heard of any myself so far

Rumors of You Me at Six, All Time Low, Billy Talent, Tenacious D, Florence and the Machine, NOFX, Rancid, Foster The People, Young Guns, Lost Prophets, Enter Shikari, Kaiser Chiefs, Refused, Black Keys and Two Door Cinema Club

Furious-Red

Yea efestivals have confirmed that The Black Keys will be subbing Foo Fighters

Anyone have the best travel plans to get to Reading or Leeds? Depening on the line up a few of my friends are interested

Stay well away from Leeds. Is meant to be worse than Oxegen in terms of trouble.

I was working Leeds last year and was in the campsite for Sunday night, which we traditionally call the riot shift. There was absolutely no trouble at all. According to statistics, crime was down 40% from the year before.

The Leeds festival has really cleaned up it's act from what it was a few years ago when the campsite would become a warzone on Sunday nights. Some of the crazier years were much much worse than what Oxegen was but I cannot stress enough how brilliant Leeds is now. I have just put in my application to work at it this morning.

Not sure if it's fake or not...

Gunslinger92

The Saturday looks legit anyway, a lot of the bands I remember being called out are there. Paramore is correct too.

Furious-Red

Yea confirmed line up is above

Gunslinger92

I'd be tempted by the Sunday.. Otherwise it's very disappointing

Yea Sunday is the only day im thinking aswell . The rest is pretty meh (although i wanna see Kasabian , Enter Shikari , ATDI, Deaf Havana and AVA)

Yellowledbetter

Good but not great me thinks,still looking forward to it though

Just Like Heaven

I got a ticket. Not overwhelmingly good. But it'll do, has Enter shikari, at the drive in and cancer bats. Really hoping for a good lock-up stage though.

Furious-Red

Yellowcard are around Europe in August , wonder will they get announced?

Yellowledbetter

Ticket sorted and ferry booked,roll on August!!

nitromaster

Was hoping for Green Day...instead of the cure or kasabian would have been nice, they're doing Rock En Seine in Paris on the friday so guessing they missed out

Alright lineup, nothing too special.

Just Like Heaven

How is everybody getting there? I'm going to reading. Should we have gone to Leeds? :P Is it easier from Ireland?
