Reading Festival 2010

I spent last week with 100,000+ really annoying teenagers in Reading watching some really great (and a few really bad) performances from big and small rock bands - and I absolutely loved it! Luckily I had access to the VIP area so could get away from the kids when they got too punch-in-the-face-annoying. For next summer, I will try and figure out a way for Viking Party People to attend festivals together as I'm now completely hooked on festival life. 

 

And here are the new Viking Party People Live Awards for Reading 2010: 

Best gig: Weezer 

Biggest positive surprise: Guns n' Roses 

Best performance: Foxy Shazam 

Best song: Welcome to the Jungle (Guns n' Roses) 

Best moment: When Rivers Cuomo (lead singer in Weezer) put on a blond wig, started singing Pokerface, rolled around in the mud before jumping into the audience 

Best party: Silent disco 

Best DJ: DJ Micke (in the VIP tent) 

Best discovery: That I now also like English cider 

Biggest disapointment: The Libertines - absolutely rubbish! 

Biggest confusion: Wether or not I enjoyed all the teenage girls in the crowd flashing their boobs (as they were just a bit too young to be doing that) 

Worst moment: Realising that I was one of very few people at the festival that were old enough to know who Cypress Hill was
