I have looked but couldn't find any info on these people so sorry if they ahve already been asked. What are the chances of any of these playing:

Bon Ivor
Courteeners
Eminem
The Streets
Paolo Nutini
Kate Nash

I know some of them aren't 'Reading Bands' or you think they are crap etc etc but would be great if anyone could give some idea of what their chances are

Thanks.

Some are doing V (Kate Nash, Courteeners and I think Paolo Nutini). Neil has said Eminem isn't. The Streets could, but don't seem to be about. Bon Ivor might.

paolo nutini, kate nash and courteeners are at V - so they are a no
Eminem - at one stage was a rumour, but has been disgarded - so again no
Bon Ivor i don't know about.

The streets would be good, but i presume are doubtful.

That was defo the case at one point not that long ago .... but at that point he was lined up to play Wireless, which it now seems pretty certain he's not doing. Cos I don't know the why of that, it does raise the possibility in my head that he might have been switched to Reading, tho I've had info (which is presumably correct) that that's not the case.

I did hear that his Wireless performance was under threat due to some group demanding he change his homophobic lyrics for his performance.

You aren't being serious?!
I'm gay, and Eminem is one of my favourite solo artists. I admit there's some homophobia in his stuff, but other rap artists demoralise women, talk about shooting random people, and just being twats.

I suppose they are correct to an extent. Music like that shouldn't encourage it.
But censoring it only gives him publicity, and if I was Eminem, I would agree, and then go out and sing the songs how I wrote them, and just milk it.

Political Correctness. God I hate it.

Other artists aren't relevant.

Eminem raps about beating up gays for fun. If you're unfortunate enough to ever have that happen to you, he might be a part of the reason why.

Here's betting you'd hate homophobic violence far FAR more.

Very pleasingly it's at a FAR lower level than it was just 20 years ago. But it's far from gone.
