happybirthdaygelatin:
Bumbershoot!  I was just falsely excited by reading that Built to Spill is opening for the Pixies til I realized that was last year.  Ho Hum.

blindsuperhero:
I love how the Reading line-up actually does get worse every consecutive year.

Johnny C:
The Regina Folk Festival. Buck 65 and the Weakerthans will be there.

Buck 65
THE WEAKERTHANS

It's going to be awesome.

P.S. According to the line-up page at Reading's official site, the NME Radio 1 tent doesn't look that bad:

Kasabian
The Tears  
Bloc Party  
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club  
Babyshambles
The Futurheads  
Cooper Temple Clause  
The Arcade Fire
LCD Soundsystem  
My Chemical Romance  
Hot Hot Heat  
British Sea Power  
Fightstar  
The Kills  
Willy Mason  
The Subways  
The Others
The Duke Spirit
Maixmo Park

And come on, the Foo Fighters and the Pixies and QOTSA and Kings of Leon are pretty good bands to go see. Uh, and Iron Maiden and NoFX, if you're into them. And maybe Iggy and the Stooges. And uh, oh, who'm I kidding, the rest of the main stage lineup is balls.

Jolouie:
I would like to go to....

Bonnaroo
Coachella
Sounds of the Underground

--- Quote from: devils_daughter ---Khar, go to reading, even though the line-up's 90% shit this year, it's worth it just for the atmosphere. I went with my ex for 03 and 04 and I'm really gonna miss it this year

Unfortunately, that lines up with the reason I don't have any chance of going to Graspop (no money).

Besides, you really have no idea the fantastically low levels of tolerance I have for music that I don't like. There are literally three bands I like palying Reading, and much as I would love to see Iron Maiden in Concert, I don't want to have to sit through two days of frankly execrable cack in a muddy field whilst all my friends who are going attempt to pursuade me to go see said execrable cack, and I get annoyed, and eventually crack, and scream about how they all suck, so they'd all hate me and then I'd spend the only day I would have marginally enjoyed rocking back and forward in my own tent crying as I imagine Wacken Open Air festival.

ONLY LIVE PERFORMANCE OF BLOODBATH EVER, OMG!!!

...and also the fact I can't afford it.
