Reading 2009 Lineup

The tickets and lineup came out for Reading Festival last night. According to the DM, they were queuing outside HMV in Reading all frigging night to get tickets. Cocks.

Or were they, coz i went online bang on 7pm to help a mate try and get some tix for his mates and we didn’t have a fucking chance in hell. Every site was completely congested. In fact, seetickets is still congested now. As far as i could tell, ticketmaster sold out in 15 minutes. So i sat there for about an hour clicking refresh on 8 different websites, every single one of them timed out. You’d think they’d learn by now to get more frigging servers when events like this pop up. Ticketmaster was working ok but, as i said, it sold out.

But here’s the crux: The lineup is really, really wank. There isn’t one single band on there at the moment i’m thinking ‘Can’t wait to see them’

Here’s what they’ve got so far:

Friday:
Kings of Leon
Kaiser Chiefs
Placebo
Fall Out Boy
Deftones
Funeral for a Friend

Saturday:
Arctic Monkeys
The Prodigy
Maximo Park
Ian Brown
The Courteeners
Enter Shikari
Eagles of Death Metal

Sunday:
Radiohead
Bloc Party
YeahYeahYeahs
Vampire Weekend
brandnew

Then on the NME stage there’s such wonders as The Gossip, Glasvegas and Jamie T.

Anything there get you excited? Me neither. And where the fuck is the Sunday rock day?

As far as i know, a mate i used to work with is going to go with me as everyone else has lost interest or having a baby. No matter though, we’ll just get completely wasted on a variety of legal and illegal concoctions for the entire time we’re there.
