Some would say that the perfect way to end the summer holidays is to discover that quiet corner of this much-trodden planet and wilfully pass away the days enjoying pristine nothingness.

 

To many more, it is mud-swamps, exploding gas cans and sheer filthiness that carries the greater appeal.

 

As the oldest, grandest and dirtiest of all British Festivals, Reading / Leeds has rarely been so eagerly anticipated.

 

With the absence of Glastonbury this year, even with increased capacities reaching 80,000 and 70,000 respectively, obtaining a ticket was simply a matter of click and hope.

 

For those lucky few ("few" being in relative terms) the class of 2006 covers the length and breadth of popular music, as festival partner Mean Fiddler's push for diversity reaches yet another peak. With up to 5 acts performing at any one time, festivalgoers have but two dilemmas. With whom to share your tent, and how to spend the time most effectively.
