It’s been awhile since I’ve done a ‘where I’d rather be’ post, but with Leeds Festival starting tomorrow I just couldn’t resist. Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, and Kings of Leon are headlining this year, but it’s the Saturday Radiohead show I’d love to see. I saw Thom Yorke do a solo performance in San Francisco a few years ago that was amazing.
Aside from a solid line-up of bands, the real reason I want to go to the Leeds Festival is to ‘bottle off’ a performer who sucks. It’s a tradition of the festival to rain the stage with plastic bottles until the performer quits playing. Check out rapper 50 Cent getting bottled off in 2004 at Reading Festival:
Notice how I just swapped Reading Festival and Leeds Festival. At first I had a tough time figuring out the relationship here, but it is actually the same festival happening in two locations. All performers just rotate between the two locations. If you plan on heading to Leeds Festival tomorrow I highly recommend you check out this Survival Guide from the MyLifeInLeeds blog. BTW, it’s worth checking out the rest of the blog as well for insider tips on your stay in Leeds.
