Ah come on that Friday looks already pretty decent, no? (The rest is shite so far, I've to admit that lmao)

Smashing Pumpkins, Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Robyn, Solange, Beach House, Thom Yorke are all still yet to come tho.. 

Reading Fest has had some terrible headliners/lineups the past 4 years or so but that (sans Foos/Distillers) is just insulting.

Oh hai fucking HELLHAMMER. What the literal fuck is up with that. 

Glad someone had the cohones to draft The American Red Meat District.
