   I wish I could tell you that I know most of the acts on there. Truth be told, I recognize a handful of names, all of which are good.

   Thanks for bringing out the UK bands. Much like there are lots of great unknown bands here in Canada, I’m sure there are even more of them in the UK.

   I have been to Reading, the town. Nice place. Perhaps I’ll be able to check out the festival in the future.

      Ahh yeah, I suppose a lot of the bands are still yet to break across the pond! Which is fab for you because you get to relive that first time feeling all over again by listenin’ to them! Thank you for the words, Andrew – certainly means a lot.

   Alas, I’m now too old to go to music festivals. But this looks like a fantastic line-up. I love Arctic Monkeys, Glass Animals, Fontaines D.C. and Maneskin.

      Yeah, certainly looks like a HUUGE turnaround for R+L, a festival notoriously known for their stinky line-ups over previous years.

   I wouldn’t mind a bit of Rage Against the Machine.

   On the plus side, Rage is one of those bands where you don’t need to worry about the singer losing his voice as he ages. That is one advantage the rappers have. I just imagined Zack on stage, in his 70s, yelling “f you I won’t do what you tell me”. I don’t know why, but the image makes me laugh.

   I feel the need to continue attending festivals. I want to get my two five year olds into music as soon as possible. Someone is going to have to inherit my CD collection!

   In my neighbourhood, festivals are sometimes the only chance I get to see the up and coming acts.

   I’m hoping that Roger Waters decides to pick up his tour again. I was supposed to take my Dad on Father’s day last year.

   My Island CD came in the mail yesterday. I’m enjoying it. They remind me of Athlete. Thanks for the heads up! FYI, there is a band from Montreal called Islands. How confusing!

      Hahaha that’s fantastic, Andrew! I’m glad you like the album; good stuff. I think that’s the best way for them to inherit into your music, I learnt some of the best music off my dad and family. Growing up with that music stays with you for sure. Festivals are also a brilliant way for you to discover your next favourite artists. Some real hidden gems amongst the line-ups sometimes … Thanks for your feedback.
