READING Where and when is it? Little Johns Farm, Reading, from 27-29 August. Who is playing? The Darkness, The White Stripes, Green Day, Morrissey, 50 Cent, The Offspring. What's it like? With Reading's rock heritage, The Darkness' place at the top of the bill was almost inevitable. The Usual mixture of hard rock and guitar bands dominate this year. Anything else? Old hands may think of the last proper "rock" Reading of 1988 when they see The Darkness - which saw bottles of urine thrown at the likes of Bonnie Tyler and Meat Loaf. What will the weather be like? BBC Weather: 5 day forecast Where can I find out more? Reading Festival The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites
