I PREDICT A FLY-OUT

Eyetie writes to point out that, while the Reading-Leeds festival might offer slim pickings, the Iceland Airwaves festival is shaping up quite nicely - the Kaiser Chiefs, the Brazilian Girls (pictured, as they say), Leaves and others already confirmed. It's kind of a cross between In The City and Reading, with a bunch of events scattered across Rekjavik. And, for £349, you get proper accomodation, flights and tickets, which doesn't work out as much more than Reading costs by the time you pay for the ridiculous train fare. Plus, you're in bloody Iceland instead of Berkshire. Worth considering as an alternative, certainly.
