Also I must say Reading has been getting in a lot of bands people find overrated in recent years and by the looks of the rumours the mainstage headliners are the biggest overrated bands out there.

One man's overrated is one man's underrated.

ha you can hardly call Guns N Roses, The Libertines or Blink underrated though

The Beatles are overrated. Still doesnt stop them being awesome?

[Andy0808]

Guns N' Roses = Amazing in the late 80s- early 90's now Axl is living off the fame he got back then by trying to push them in a new direction which i will add as a poor direction.

Blink-182= I'm a big fan purely cause i think they've got classics you can sing along to, but i'd have them subheadlining a bigger band, but either way i dont think they are over rated, if anything under rated.

Libertines= They arent even rateable, i rate their singer as a W****r and this band are only famous because pete doherty is a tabloid favourite and indie kids who like to smoke weed and do drugs think they are as cool as him. I cant even begin to explain how annoyingly bad i think they are

[FloorFiller]

the same guy has told me that:

You Me At Six
The Cribs
Pendulum
KoRn
The Gaslight Anthem
and MGMT

will all be on the first announcement on the Main Stage (though he apparently doesn't know the positioning)

take it with a very big pinch of salt like i am doing, but there you go

if this is correct i personally think it'll look like this:



Friday:
Guns 'N Roses
My Chemical Romance
Biffy Clyro
Pendulum
KoRn
The Gaslight Anthem

Saturday:
Blink 182
Paramore
Lostprophets
You Me At Six

Sunday:
The Libertines
Arcade Fire
Elbow
MGMT
The Cribs

NME:
Klaxons
/
We Are Scientists

Queens Of The Stone Age
The Maccabees

Hole



feel free to disregard or point out errors in any of these rumours or positions (i myself can't justify KoRn being fifth but i also can't justify Pendulum being lower... or You Me At Six being fourth, but y'know)

Matey is 100% definitely feeding you bull.

[FloorFiller]

i'd asumed when he just kept reeling off bands but i wanted to believe him
ah well

[likelyladtom]

Sounds to me like this guy is just stating several rumoured bands (that we have all been debating and putting into yellow posters for weeks now) and spinning it off as being the real deal.

All feasible and nothing surprising.

yeah that's what conclusion i'd come to. all band names that have been floating around. there are usually one or two big surprising bands in there but there are none in his announcement (i guess Elbow could be considered but meh)

[rexclark]

I would be more than happy with that if it were true.

It's not like they had two great albums one of which was number one is it?

No KoRn?

Think he means more Elbow not playing, and possibly MGMT cos he's mentioned something about them not playing (may have been on about a certain stage I can't remember)

I'm pretty sure they'll be there. new album, touring this year, fit R+L perfectly. my guinea pig squeaked once for yes when I asked her and she knows!
