Too many men at Reading

Where Else?

Research by the Guardian last year showed that at 12 UK festivals, 86% of performers were men

Do they have to find inequality in absolutely everything?!

The last female performer I remember headlining was Bonnie Tyler in 1988 & she lasted 3 songs.

Even I filled up a bottle & lobbed it in her direction her performance was that woeful.

I think I'd prefer Swindon to the place I've got to spend the next hour. Didcot Station.

A detour via Oxford and the A420 to Swindon might be in order.

Reading 2016 Line-up

Foals, Biffy Clyro & RHCP the only ones I've heard of.

RHCP the only ones I like & since I saw them when they were good, this holds no interest for me at all.

EODM were the band playing in Paris when the nutters loosely associated with a religion we don't talk about shot loads of people.

Glastonbury was so commercialised it was frequented by people wanting to just hang out. Reading used to be where proper decent Rock music used to play. At least, that was the case years ago when I used to go to music festivals. Not sure now.

Oh flip, I hope that's not on this Friday. The M4 will be rammed!

He also thinks the Glastonbury Festival has become too commercialised and mainstream

People were saying that about it 20 years ago.

My daughter is off to Reading ( today, early pass, it's what all the students get ) today. God that makes me feel old.

Not really into pop festivals, but someone I was talking to in the pub at the weekend reckons the Minehead festival is good

He also thinks the Glastonbury Festival has become too commercialised and mainstream, which I can well believe seeing how often it's in the news each year.

Is that the one that takes place in Butlins?

I see the Sidmouth Folk Festival is still going strong. Bloody place is full of folkies all the year round.
