Reading and Leeds Festivals sold out

Corporate mass events “celebrating” white rock music have sold out in record time, reports corporate rock news site NME.

200,000 tickets for the Reading and Leeds festivals, held in August, sold out in just 24 hours.

According to reports, the business of exploiting humanity’s basic need for communal experience by offering creatively exhausted “acts” undertaking a ritual called “playing live” that patronizes and insults a passive “audience”, has never been more successful. Nice.

Metallica, Rage Against The Machine and The Killers are headlining.

Musictoob says: start your own festival. The Festival of You.
