whats really annoying is, quite frankly I don't wanna camp for 3 days. I just wanna see Katatonia.

I've done the camping Reading festival thing many a time and you know what I love a great bathroom after that experience, and I love the feeling of falling into a bed after without a sky of hitlers army going on


Yea so fucking what im getting old and I might right a song about it, im not a student but its a shame there are no day tickets..

Disappointing!

Anathema have also been announced plus Fear Factory have pulled out as well as GWAR, Wolf have replaced them.
 
Another update.

Insomnium and The Rotted have been confirmed...

Also Sodom have been confirmed. This is the first UK show in 20 years, so this is not to be missed.

See you in 5 weeks!
 
Hell yeah! Got my day ticket for Friday yesterday. It'll be the first time that I'll have seen Katatonia and I'm totally psyched. I'm glad they're playing the Friday because there are some other cool bands like Saxon, Arch Enemy, Sodom and Carcass that day. The only other bands that I'd be interested in on other days are Satyricon, Anathema and Kreator.

Does anyone know how long Katatonia's set might be?

well i got to see katatonia at bloodstock open air and they didn't dissapoint. a short 40mins but very moving set. i was 2 rows from the front, the band seemed to get a good reception despite not been what i would call a festival band. their moving sombre music is surely more at home in a indoor intimate venue rather than mid afternnon in a field. none the less on of the festival highlights.
