Reading and Leeds aftermath thread

oojimaflop [Edit] [Delete] 17:05, 28 August '12

I went to Leeds. Was a great laugh. Was probably my worst year for music, but my best for having a laugh with friends- won’t bore you with the details of that…

The Highlights:

The Cure- Amazing set, though probably the smallest crowd I’ve seen for a headliner at this festival. Just wished it could have been a proper set length- gutted no Plainsong, Killing an arab or 10.15 Saturday night

Pulled Apart By Horses- First band I saw all weekend. Great stuff though not good for a hangover, same with Future of the left.

Los Campesinos- were great but would have preferred them in a tent as there seemed to be about 15 people there.

Future of the left- Bit underwhelming crowd, but absolutely loved them

Kasabian- Never listened to them on record, and felt ill as I got dragged along to see them and wasn’t fancying it, but I genuinely thought they really pulled their set off.

Santigold’s set- Again, someone I wasn’t bothered about who turned out to be very very good. Dancing girls and fans on stage. Great stuff!

The Hives- These really are a great band aren’t they

My friend Jamie being dressed as a rubix cube for the entire weekend and getting on the big screen twice over topless girls.

My friend Jack drinking a pint of wine at 10 am and sober vomitting at picadilly circus.

The Alrights:

Foo Fighters- Was expecting this to be amazing, but it felt overlong and I was bored by the end of the set

Florence and the Machine- I just don’t think I ‘Get’ her.

The Shites:

Odd Future- Maybe it was where I was sat, but it sounded awful. I think I may just be a bit too old for them, as they were my brother’s favourite set of the weekend.

Getting the shits after a bad burger.

Standard Leeds 16 year old boys on a Sunday night stuff- was awoken on Sunday when I went to bed ill by a kid from the group next door smashing a chair into my tent repeatedly. He stopped when I leapt from it like a madman and threatened to punch him.

the beer. Tuborg is really disgusting.

Great stuff all round though
