Good news - looks as though the Dropkicks have just confirmed to play the Reading and Leeds festivals. They're playing the main stages, Friday in Reading and Saturday in Leeds, times to be confirmed. I've already bought my ticket a week previous to the above announcement, so I'm looking forward to the weekend even more now! Anybody else going to either festival? I've not been before, so it'll be an experience if nothing else - apart from the DKM's the best bands are yet to be announced. The Pixies, Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden are headlining. I'm heading towards Leeds which is a bit of a shame as it's further, Reading weekend tickets sold out before I had chance to order, though they're still selling day tickets to all events as well as weekend Leeds tickets.

Come on up to Leeds instead!
Got a web link for the Beautiful Days festival?
I take it you know that The Levellers are playing Morecambe this year, Market Arena stage on the Saturday?
I've got Zeitgeist somewhere upstairs, might have to dig that one out for a listen.

would do leeds but its a bit far to come up from brighton just to see the dropkicks! will see if anyone else half decent gets added i think. as for beautiful days..that can be found here >> www.beautifuldays.org/not too great yet but theres shit loads o bands to be added yet! neck have played the past two years so maybe them again plus molly and the dkm will be in the country, so you never know! also a rumour of stiff little fingers! heres hoping! yeah the levs are one of my main priorities at wasted! bit of a random band to book for that fest though i though, but i love em so dont care! ;D and yeah go dig out Zeitgeist..classic! hehe

I were quite surprised at The Levellers being on the Morecambe bill, but not disappointed may I add - provided there are no major clashes elsewhere that weekend I'll deffo be interested in checking 'em out.
I've heard a rumour that only the first batch of Reading tickets have sold out so you might be lucky in getting tickets if that's the case.
Thanks for the link to the Beautiful Days festival - great as Devon's not too far for me to travel, however it is pretty close to Leeds so I'll have to think about that one especially as I'm seriously thinking of doing the Wasted Amsterdam Fest as well...
