There's still loads more to come, particularly the Lock Up/Concrete Jungle Tent, which should be cool.

NOFX! WOOHOOOO. lol i missed them at leeds05. im so fucking there.

wow great line- up, have they been confirmed definately? sounds like i might be going there then, although glastonbury sounds good this year

Sweet, I think I am going to Leeds this year, and wow, Fall Out Boy are gonna try their luck again?

Jeez, I keep seeing my name in the title, and going " Omgz."

Random, I know.

yay for leeds. lol sorry. most people go reading.. so YAYY. id love to go reading it seems better than leeds but oh well.

Smashing Pumpkins!!!!!!

I can foresee some severe creeping going on if I'm going to get a pass-out for that

does anyone know any good fetival websites apart from virtualfestivals?

the official carling leeds/reading site?

Gr if I go at all, then I'll have to choose between the Chillis and the Pumpkins wound

i cant wait for smashing pumpkins. woot. id chose them over chilis anyday.

Same here. I've seen the Chili's a few times anyway.

cheers but i was meaning a general festival website.i just always go to the festival which has the best line-up for me

New bands and confirmations. Tickets released tonight.

what a rubbish line up. definately not going.

friday will be awesome in leeds. which is sundays list cause thats reading line up.

I'm going to Leeds! I can't wait! Me and my friend were on the phone and online for over an hour getting tickets, and then my friend got though bought weekend tickets. When he refreshed the page they said it was sold out! How lucky is that!!!

I can't believe the Pumpkins are playing i'm so excited! And i was gutted when i missed Brand New in February, so now i'll get to see them! Yay!

Think i'll give Razorlight a miss though...

Looking forward to:

Smashing Pumpkins
Lostprophets
Fall Out Boy (...who'll probably be bottled )
Enter Shikari
Brand New
Biffy Clyro
Funeral For A Friend
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Panic! At The Disco (...as long as they don't get bottled again)
Bloc Party
Ash


Oooh, and Angels And Airwaves and +44 are BOTH playing.. shame it's not the same day, i'd've loved to have seen a catfight... bleh.

So, NOFX aren't playing, but the Living End are, so all is forgiven. Now for some decent ska to be announced.

^ are they!? how d'you know that? that's awesome

http://www.punktastic.com/news/14859

"Punktastic understands The Living End will be playing the Concrete Jungle/Lock Up stage at Reading/Leeds in the second to last slot. They will also tour around that time and their new album will be given a release on a UK label - and if that UK label wants me to name them and not ruin the surprise they can email me!!"

^ nice one, thanks! hope that's true, i'd love to see them! I missed them last year on the Less Than Jake tour cause i went to see My Chem on the same day

Lockup Stage has been announced:

Friday - Jimmy Eat World, The Living End, Thrice, Mad Caddies, The Bronx, Capdown, Big D and The Kids Table, The Draft, Street Dogs, The King Blues, Riverboat Gamblers and The Grit.

Sunday - New Found Glory, Turbonegro, Gallows, From Autumn to Ashes, Cancer Bats, The Casualties, Ignite, Municipal Waste, Sonic Boom Six, The Ghost Of A Thousand.

niiiccee. thrice! fucking aceee. YAY CAPDOWN gosh i love them. Im seeing Gallows this week

And Billy Talent are playing mainstage.

Thrice have pulled out.

^ you're kidding!? aw man....

and Billy Talent so many good ones were added

I have a ticket for the weekend and cant wait to go now.

wow it was aceeeee.
smashing pumpkins&NIN was best by far for me, oh and capdown

Saw many more bands than usual this year, with favourites being TLE, Mad Caddies, The Dead 60s, The Academy Is... and Charlotte Hatherley.

I've got next year's ticket already; it's very much an annual event for me.

I didn't go but what I saw on TV was mostly awesome.
Loved Jimmy Eat World and Lostprophets

the dead 60s were awesome.

I ended up watching ten bands at this thing. They were mostly awesome to be fair, still, sorting out your friends' broken relationship issues when they can't be sane around each other fucking sucks.

The Living End absolutely ruled everything and if you disagree with me you're wrong.

I had the time of my life at Reading!!

I camped in B4, seriously I saw some many bands I cant even count them, I met the coolest people,
raved at 5am with random neighbours, slept like 1 hour the whole weekend,
did/saw so many random things! omg I cant wait for next year!!

I also burn my face n it swelled!! but ar well it didnt get me down!

wooo Reading 2008!
