it looks like nickelback are ging to play reading because they are playing a gig on monday the 26th of august so they will be over for the carling weekend
hope they do play

Doubt it, they are playing V, however no great loss, only one good song.

I thought Reading was a rock festival, not a pop weekend. Just another band to attract the 10 year olds along.

with a couple of bands to atract the rock crowd

I don't understand why Nickelback attract the kiddies. They're four thirty something blokes with bad facial hair who write songs in a classic rock styleee. Amazing what targetted marketing can do these days.
They've got about three good songs, hardly worth watching a set for though.
