Q: which is better and why? i want to go to a festival next year. but which one??

A: http://www.strictlyreading.co.uk might be your best choice for an answer! Also http://www.festivalfiles.com shows the artists that played at Reading Festival 2008 V Festival is much tamer and plays more bland, generic and radio friendly songs. Reading is a proper festival. 3 days of rock 'n' roll. For a true festival experience, RF is the better choice but if you are too posh and have underdeveloped musical tastes, then go to V
