Reading/Leeds - more bands added to bill

How do the Raveonettes have a "White Stripes lineup"? They seemed like a pretty standard rock band when i saw them.

What are people's opinions of the bill so far? I didn't get tickets this year and so far am pretty glad - the lineup doesn't seem very good at all.

I think it looks pretty bad... there are some great bands going there who I have seen already (yyy's, electric six-amazing live- and eighties matchbox) but they're all on different days

I really an starting to think about going to game on on sunday instead - its a fantastic line up

This insane. I still haven't recovered from the last Reading. This is all too soon for me. Next year? I can't even think of planning next week.
