It's a bit tricky to meet up at a festival.

You have to pick a spot inside the festival grounds and then decide on a suitable time...

I love going to pre-show meet ups, I got to meet jarmo in Toronto. 

Even if a meeting did happen at these festivals, in my view it would have to be a bit earlier than 5pm. The best time is probably around late afternoon, like 2pm - 4pm, as people still have plenty of time to mingle before trying to get a good spot. But the problem at 5pm, is that people are starting to make their 'plan' so to say, to get close to the stage. People would not stay as long as they would have, if it was a little earlier.

Just my view though.

ok then lets meet up at 2pm at the beer tent (next to the dance tent number 3 on the festival map ) in the main stage area !!!

hows that ?

On the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose's, twitter a message was been posted saying all tour dates have been cancelled. However eFestivals has had confirmation from festival organisers that it appears someone hacked into Axl Rose's twitter account, and all Guns N' Roses dates are still on. This includes their appearance at this year's Reading & Leeds Festivals.

   Guns N' Roses
   
The lead singer's twitter account, (here), published the following message at around 11pm (BST) last night:

    "All upcoming Guns N' Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds."

However eFestivals has had official word from the festival organisers saying "it seems someone hacked into Axl Rose's twitter account, all Guns N' Roses dates are still on."

Fans had suspected as much saying that his account was hacked when the twitter came to light. Their reasoning was two fold. Firstly the spelling of 'cancelled' there's only one 'l' in the US spelling, and secondly the tweet was posted from 'mobile web' instead of Axl's usual 'Twitter for iPhone'.

hope we get official word soon i do follow Axl on twitter through my phone and you get a message to alert you, that message didn`t come to my phone so it kind of makes me suspicious it seems the only explanation there`s no reason to cancel

[fieldsy]

This has been confirmed by the band's facebook page and the Reading/Leeds organisers as fake - it seems the twitter account has been hacked.  Do not panic!

[richwoman]

Axl should re -name  this leg of the tour the "chinese whispers tour" hope who ever hacked his account feels proud of themselves how does the song go
 "no ones gunna STOP US NOW"

Till I see something on Axl's or GnR's official Twitter, this nothing means to me! 

And yes, where does it say on band's facebook page that this twitter news is fake!? There are only comments by fans, nothing official, except that they are looking into it!

According to NME.com, GUNS N' ROSES have not cancelled any of their previously announced dates despite a Twitter message from frontman Axl Rose which suggested otherwise.

A spokesperson for the Reading and Leeds festivals has told NME.com that it had received confirmation from the band that Rose's account had been hacked and that next week's slots at the Reading and Leeds festivals are set to go ahead as planned.

[FunkyMonkey]

A statement sent to Spinner said, "Festival Republic are informed by GN'R management that Guns N' Roses have NOT cancelled their performances at Reading and Leeds and that Axl Rose's twitter account was hacked into and all claims of dates being cancelled are unfounded."

It'd be nice if Axl Rose or anyone directly involved with Guns N' Roses would clear this up for their fans.

There's an MSNBC article up about this...which I'm not even going to link to because it's full of factual errors, half truths, and other misinformation.

Suffice to say, I doubt the tour is canceled.

I saw that as well, not everyone in the press is getting it right.

A lot of sites are sourcing the Billboard story which I think is likely accurate:
