How long do non headliners get on the main stage? I'm thinking specifically of GAslight Anthem, who are fourth from bottom, but any other slot will be appreciated.

Ranges from half hour to an hour.  First 2/3 bands on will have 30 mins then it will steadily increase throughout the day.  Gaslight will have around 40/45 mins I'd have thought.

For leeds festival - 1420-1505 The Gaslight Anthem
This is not 100% but will be extremely close. That is the time they will be allocated, for reading it will just be starting half an hour later I believe

Sorry to tag another question in on this but, will GnR do a 2 hour set? (I know it's probably already been asked)Just that way i can catch Lcd Soundsystem for a bit then come and see the last hour of Gnr.

Ye GnR will get 2 hours but lcd soundystem will start 1 hour into the GnR set so try and catch the first 45-60 mins of their set :)(Guns n roses that is)

Someone already mentioned, but just to confirm. At leeds festival 2100-2300 Guns n' Roses(Main) 2200-2300 LCD Soundsystem(NME / Radio 1). At reading sets will just be half an hour later. Got a feeling tent might get a bit full, I think gnr are love or hate

I cant see LCD soundsystem ramming the tent, they havent had the commercial success of other headliners in recent years.In the nme tent I think the only headliners who will pack out the tent are pendulum. I think enter shikari and mumford and sons will get a bigger crowd than the other 2.

If they do take the Michael to come out, that'll be my excuse to go and see LCD.

i dunno man. i agree pendulum with have a lot more support with their mass hight and the morons who havent heard arcade fire (pure fools)

but i was massivly surprised at the turn out they had at glasto considering faithless where on at the same time.
you've also got the fact that this is his last tour (parrently for ever, but lets be honest bands say this all the time)
