any hope of this? i suppose they don't announce lineups for smaller tents until later on.. and the Killers fans aren't really gona be up for much bass-weight-meditation

to be honest rage against the machine are gona be a story for the grandkids, and i'm gettin my GCSE results 2 days before so i might not be in a state to appreciate music..

still, is there just a little chance?

Doubt it very much.

Reading doesn't really cater for dj's, and if it did it wouldn't be dubstep, it'd be something along the lines of soulwax/simian mobile disco/digitalism etc. The dance tent is usually just terrible indie bands with synths, as opposed to plain old terrible indie bands on the other stages

. Only joking, kind of.

I'm going anyway, mainly because despite its shittiness I always have a good laugh with a few mates, plus I wouldn't miss ratm for the world. Hitting up bestival for the electronic side of things

.

GCSE results at reading..those were the days. I remember getting the phone call and writing them down on a piece of muddy paper i found on the floor. Good times.

I doubt dubstep (possibly skream or something similar at a stretch?) but there normally is something to keep you going in the dance tent.

I think I was particularly lucky, but the year I went I was blessed with DJ krust, rahzel, dj format, roots manuva, yoda, jurassic 5...goldie lookin chain!

Yeah I went that year. Was actually really good. The Roots and Dj Yoda played also. Haven't seen a similar line-up since.

Wasn't that the year 50 cent got bottled off as well?

I have a memory of watching that for a bit and then wondering off to see Krust.

But to answer the question: judging on the last few years' line-ups, I'd be suprised if there was any dubstep.

Reading and GCSEs is like one of those standard things everyone does innit. Rites

. Yea Reading is jokes but is a rock festival more than anything else. They should bring back the bacardi tent they had that was so so sick and jus always packed.
