While Glastonbury continues to struggle shifting its remaining tickets, Reading and Leeds festival has been voted the best place for live music this summer, according to more than 1200 MSN Music fans. With 35% of the public vote, the August Bank Holiday festival rocked its way to the top, with Glastonbury slumping to third place behind V Festival, with just 13% of the votes.

Michel Eavis’ decision to put US rapper Jay-Z at the top of the Glasto bill has also been voted one of the worst festival moments of all time by 28% of music fans, beaten only by the grotty festival toilets which continue to resonate in the minds of 47% of the music loving public.

Muse Voted Best Live Act - The headliners of this year’s V Festival, Muse, have romped home with the award for best festival performers of all time, polling 31% of the votes. Legendary rockers the Rolling Stones, who headlined last year’s Isle of Wight Festival, come in second place (17%) followed by Mancunian favourites Oasis and grunge legends Nirvana (11%).

Brits are Closet Rockers - If Brits could perform with any headline act this year, almost a quarter (23%) would want to get down and dirty with icons of rock Metallica at Reading and Leeds. And despite her being odds on favourite to miss her slots at Glastonbury and V Festival (again!), 10% of Brits still want to perform alongside Amy Winehouse, with the marginally more choosing to grace the stage with Glasto headliners, The Verve (11%).

What Credit Crunch? - Despite the current penny pinching climate, music lovers still prize their festival ticket above all other luxuries this summer, with 47% citing it as the extravagance they would never give up. A holiday abroad comes in second place (31%) as the summer activity we just couldn’t do without, followed by a brand new summer wardrobe which 11% of Brits would not sacrifice whatever their financial state.

MSN Music Editor James Hurley says: “Once again the UK festival scene is second to none and whether you’re in to rock, rap or ragga there’s a festival that will suit you. People say Brits are always moaning but come rain or shine, and whether we’re in luxury caravans or grotty campsites, we will do anything to nab our place in the crowd!
