Idiot scenesters, mainly.
Lots of setting tents on fire and the like. Throwing poo around in the mosh pit. General wankery, really.

Still, that's Reading for you, Leeds may be better behaved! ;)

Shit loads of setting things on fire.
But poo throwing? None of that occured as far as I'm aware.

There were quite a lot of chavvy types, though, and girls caked in maeup and in nice clothes that just made you think: 'what the hell are you doing here?'

Hah!
Sounds like "V Festival".
I only went once to see The Pixies.

Got in a fight with a moron. Got punched in the face. Glasses broke. A bad drive home.

well done,
a story about you being punched in the face has actually cheered me up a bit.

Glad to be of service.

The chavvy types didn't seem to be behaving like utter cunts though.
Everyone was generally very friendly.

That'll be the drugs.

This is true.
As I got out of the car at the station, my mum told me to behave: don't get too drunk, don't do any drugs and don't go off with strangers.

Within two hours of being there, I was wasted, and sat in the hot-boxed tent of a friend of a friend.
