Q 277 - Q Quiz: Win VIP Reading or Leeds tix

Comments

Q has teamed up with the good people at Festival Republic and Gaymers cider - the official cider of Reading and Leeds Festivals - to offer two lucky winners a pair of VIP tickets each to this year's already sold-out Reading and Leeds Festivals on 28-30 August (one winner for each site), plus a two- man pop-up tent and a case of Gaymers cider each.

Two runners-up will receive a pair of VIP tickets and a crate of Gaymers (again, one winner for each site). With Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead and Kings Of Leon headlining, and the none-too-shabby likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kaiser Chiefs and The Prodigy also on a bumper bill, it's once again shaping up to be one of the essential events of the summer.

And if you do bag tickets to Leeds, check out the Gaymers Cider Garden, which plays host to the festival phenomenon that is Rockaoke - the ultimate live band version of karaoke. While there, you can enjoy an ice-cold Gaymers original or Gaymers pear cider and relax in the Vinyl Corner, where you can choose from a host of top records and pepper the DJ with requests. To find out more about the festivals go to www.readingfestival.com and www.leedsfestival.com.

For a chance to win, pit your wits against the Q Quiz below. Please specify which festival you want to go to. Closing date is 25 July 2009. The two entrants with the most correct answers (revealed in next month's issue) win.

In the event of a tie, the entrants with the most amusing Tie- Break Caption (see 21 below) will win. The winners' captions will be printed in the issue after next.

All entrants must be 18 years old or over. The editor's decision is final.
