yup leeds fest sucks now. i still go - able to get battered and stay battered, stoned and whatever else for 4 whole days!last year slayer should of headlined over mcr, i think festivals in general are loosing thier roots, and some of the bands on mainstage last year did not deserve it and some on second stage should of bin on mainstage, i was planning on going last year till i saw that lineup. this year is kinda looking the same, as you said atm it isnt worth getting a ticket imo.
cant wait till slipknot tour though will be good if the album is like their old stuff.
not often you can, its worth paying to do. occasionally there are good bands, but gone are the days of the punk bands, nofx, offspring, etc - all used to headline there, but the money is in the mainstream so they get them and attract the millions and make billions in profit
