I think they must have some sort of 10 year contract with R/L.

Awesome. Only recently got into them (saw them supporting RBF) and have been listening to "A ruff guide to genre terrorism" and "City of Thieves" almost constantly ("Strange Transformations" off the latter is a personal favourite I'd recommend checking out - very observant!)

I know its taking the piss a bit now. A quick check on efests says that this is their 4th year out of 5. Take the fact that bands like Lostprophets and the cribs will be there once again and I really do wonder if FR actually know the musical demographic that they could take advantage of instead of churning out the same bands to us year after year.

Doesn't anyone actually listen to what they say ... and what they don't say? :P

They don't confirm themselves for anything.

it's all a "well, we hope....".

Hope away. I don't think those hopes will come to much.

I love it when people get carried away with "self confirmations"

I know they ended up playing last year but someone came on here claiming Streetlight Manifest self confirmed at their Sheffield gig, I was at that same gig and what they actually said was "we could be back at the end of summer" which is a bit different.

It's for precisely those sorts of reasons that efestivals takes all claims of "they said it at a gig" with a pinch of salt - often, what a person thought they'd said isn't what they've said.

lol, fingers crossed I'll be playing reading and Leeds this year.

It aint gonna happen.

They might play, but I wouldn't be getting my hopes up because of that.

The way she says it (to me anyway) sounds like Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury and Oxygen are already sorted and confirmed, but she has her fingers crossed for "a load in Europe". She just says it, in a badly structured sentance.

I could be wrong of course, probably am, but on 2 listens to what she actually said, thats how I took it :P

Yep, that could be the case, but it takes a guess to reach that conclusion - it's not what is actually said.

I'm in two minds pretty evenly about which way to guess - there's stuff which could put it either way. But I guess it does deserve them being rumoured (something I thought I'd already done, but hadn't. Adding them now).

When they played Leeds last year, they invited everyone for a chat near a merchandise stall.

They mentioned to me that Reading had gone very well and they'd immediately been offered a repeat gig this year, 1 slot higher up on the main stage.

Cheers.
