1346.0. "Reading 96 Line Up" by CHEFS::STRATFORDS (Groovy, Laidback & Nasty) Wed Apr 17 1996 16:29

    Only act confirmed that I have seen to date is Rocket From The Crypt,
    who will be headlining the NME stage on one of the days.

1346.1CHEFS::HANDLEY_IDo unto others...then split!Thu Apr 18 1996 15:029
    
    As there is no Glasto this year we can probably expect a larger than
    usual influx of crusties.  I wonder if the lineup will be
    extended to include dance acts like orbital this year?
    
    Hope so.
    
    
    I.
1346.2CHEFS::UKARCHIVINGwhose file is it anyway?Thu Apr 18 1996 15:042
    Prodigy will headline one night, Rage Against the Machine another.
    If it's dance you want, go to the Phoenix Festival.
1346.3CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindThu Apr 18 1996 15:056
    Phoenix looks ok, and we havent seen the lineup for the Winchester fest
    yet...
    
    Mikef - who probably wont be going to any fest this year...
    
    
1346.4Rumour !!!!CHEFS::RUTHERFORDII've been seen with FABIO !!!Thu Apr 18 1996 15:235
    Black Grape are rumoured to be headlining at Reading this year. Nothing
    confirmed though !!!
    
    
    Ian.
1346.5CHEFS::STRATFORDSGroovy, Laidback & NastyThu Apr 18 1996 16:066
    Ian
    
    Not too sure about them headlining at Reading. They have just been
    added to the bill for T in the Park though.
    
    Stuart
1346.6I thought "crusties" were long gone!CHEFS::CROSSAOnly losers take the bus!Thu Apr 18 1996 16:406
    Ian,
    >> influx of crusties.  <---- They will still be down at the Newbury
    				  bypass!!!

1346.7WOTVAX::STONEGTemperature Drop in Downtime Winterland....Thu Apr 18 1996 16:596
    
    Yeah, most of them went home to their rich parents when the winter
    turned out colder than expected. Hopefully they'll stay there instead
    of continuing to give decent travellers a bad name.
    
    Graham
1346.8CHEFS::STRATFORDSGroovy, Laidback &amp; NastyThu Apr 18 1996 17:035
    > decent travellers
    
    Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
    
    Stuart
1346.9Oh alright then......No it is not!! CHEFS::CROSSAInsane in the membrane!Thu Apr 18 1996 17:103
    Rather depends on ones viewpoint I suppose.
    
    		Stretch.
1346.10CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindThu Apr 18 1996 17:1310
    There were a lot still out there during the worst of the weather...
    
    The ones that I met were decent sorts, although if I ever catch the
    ones who took the petrol from my car...
    
    For anyone who lives out to the west of Reading, try tuning in to Tree
    FM, 87.7, the protesters pirate radio station.  Very interesting, and
    they play some cool tunes now and then.
    
    m
1346.11C'mon on then Stuart.CHEFS::CROSSAInsane in the membrane!Thu Apr 18 1996 17:316
    I was not going to get into a crustie/traveller/protestor thing but if
    Stratto/anyone comes on with a Sc*m journalist viewpoint I might have
    to....
    
    
    			Stretch.
1346.12CHEFS::STRATFORDSGroovy, Laidback &amp; NastyThu Apr 18 1996 17:5117
    Stretch,
    
    Why do you automatically assume that I am going take the opposite
    stance to yourself on everything? Just because I have in the past, on
    the odd occassion, differed from your own 'moderate' viewpoint...
    
    Anyhow, I will not profer an alternative viewpoint to the travellers
    situation just so that you can keep you arguments/ranting quota up for
    today.
    
    The only observation I will make is that if I catch any of them
    jostling and intimidating old people in Sainsburys during the festival
    again, they will get twatted again.
    
    Stuart 
    
    
1346.13CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindThu Apr 18 1996 17:566
    re Sainsburies...
    
    this is an age old problem, I can remember when the offenders were
    heavy metal freaks in the mid eighties...

1346.15CHEFS::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindThu Apr 18 1996 18:124
    Its true!  Slightly partisan in its approach to the issues perhaps...
    but can make for entertaining listening.
    
    mikef

1346.24CHEFS::STRATFORDSGroovy, Laidback &amp; NastyThu Apr 18 1996 19:105
    I would guess that Ash will amonsgt the current fave raves as well, and
    positively no Police records (well at least not on the turntable
    anyway). Any other artists will just get by-passed I s'pose.

1346.26CHEFS::ASHLEYSMITHWed May 29 1996 17:427
    The guitarless Stone Roses are due to headline the third day provided
    they can find a replacement for John Squire.
    
    Wonder what Jimmy Page is doing over the August Bank Holiday?

    I'm *thinking* of going, but money is tight (prospect of being out on
    my ear real soon).  I may only go to one day, if day tix are available
    this year on the gate.  I have been trying to blagg a guest list pass
    from TWP for sunday, but they dont have enough to go round.  
    
    Some good stuff happening, but I'm still not keen on the environment.  
    
    Anyone know if Alleycat live are hosting any warm-up gigs?
