Smally Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oh I've seen The Ting Tings and The Subways, I'd watch subs again but can;t think of anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Obviously Paramore who headlined last year. I do think its very strange that there are not more female bands or at least lead singers in music. I have to be honest I was shocked when I saw that poster though, there is so few!

devilman Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Saw this on twitter, posted it here because i thought it was interesting not because I wanted to start a debate or attack the festival (its hardly like Melvin did it deliberately... I dont think) Crack In The Road @crackintheroad 38m38 minutes ago How it would look if the Reading / Leeds line-up only included the acts that have a female musician in the band. This is a reflection of the music industry which is killing itself through short term greed. Girls are exploited into short lived pop. Musicians are becoming irrelevant. Unless R/L does dance and pop to a greater extent there will always be less women performers. In fact short term gain is killing all of the industry, not just females. We already complain about the lack of headline size bands and about the ones that do get the bump up. In 20 years where will the headline bands come from? If the likes of Bumfords are still around I'll eat my flat cap with gravy. The X factor stage will be the main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I find it odd that they haven't announced the sub on that day, every other year it's been put out with the poster. Must be for good reason though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD123 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sleigh Bells headlining FR in 2012 was one of the highlights of the weekend, women can definitely cut it in the music industry, it's more that they aren't really within the genres that play Reading all that much. I have no statistics to hand but straight up pop probably has more women than men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1664 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I quite like that announcement. It's enough to get me a weekend ticket. Especially after being underwhelmed at the last few main announcements. It's gonna bring me back to the festival. For me it has the strength in depth to suit me, maybe that's because I've been going for long enough for some bands to fall back down the bill. I'll be seeing Ash, Metallica, mastodon,limp bizkit, Manchester Orchestra, libertines, maccabees, cribs, royal blood, peace, cancer bats, probably catch kendrick lamar. With more to come I'm happy with that as a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramore are tosh too. As is Blondie. Loads of good female pop artists out there but none I'd be willing to go and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a real shame as I prefer the female voice in general. Also Chvrches another one of my favorite bands FFS! Im helping promote equality in music me!

Dunno about music, but one year at the efests meet he had the biggest bottle of mixed spirits you've ever seen, it was both nice and absolutely lethal.

Smally Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Magnificent position to judge from IMO Whats wrong with The Subways? Tings I watched at TITP whilst waiting for British Sea Power, and at no point did I say they were any good, just saying female related bands I've seen.
