From a post on Gingers twitter

@kath_o_the_leen No, alas it seems that Downloads doesn't want our brand of rock this year.

Would have thought they were a shoe in for Classic Rock Sunday

Will still go for one of the days I reckon, but not quite as pissed off about not being able to afford to do the whole thing now.

Gutting. Bittersweet mind, no way I was gonna make it this year, next year is more likely though. So I'll pin my hopes and dreams on '10

I don't feel bad for not going this year now

Oh yes. Took me about 2 hours of frustration and falling out with the internet, then I used that link that Damo gave me and it worked! Didn't get the confirmation e-mail though, so after worrying about that all night I went on the tracker page and extracted my confirmation number. There has to be an easier way than this, surely.

p.s. Cheers Damian! I again owe you a pint.

Bugger. Couldn't get anywhere. Every site apart from Ticketmaster crashed and they appeared to have tickets but didn't seem particularly inclined to sell me any.

Sonisphere then?

Right pisser. FNM and Motley clashing and now no Wildhearts.
Ah well, I've got my tickets now and it's still the best festival line-up I've seen in this country for a while.
And as for the Leeds/Reading fest, you got to feel a little sorry for Arctic Monkeys having to go on and headline after The Prodigy. That's a seriously hard band to follow. Old Axl struggled a few years ago so what's a bunch of kids gonna make of it?
