themuel Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 @eFestivals so does this put the chances higher than the original 25% or just 'reckless' mistake making as talked about in the other thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added at the bottom hmmmmmm Sounds to me as if they're admitting they're playing in a way, but admitting they got it wrong on the fact that they're not actually confirmed yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ha I got so caught up in the fact that Green Day were there that I totally forgot that they shouldn't have mentioned Ed there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the green day thing was unexpected. With Foos playing and Green Day potentially playing I think Eavii have organised a better reading festival than reading festival actually has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, on the other hand, thoroughly organised my desk drawers at work yesterday, without using a stupid plastic stationary tidy-tray AND organisedtbe works Xmas do, which wasn't in a brewery as such, but was in a pub owned by one. My point being... ...not sure actually. Reading Festival is shit and something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss ups and breweries aside, I can't help but agree that reading has been on multi decade downward spiral.

T-Mouse Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Still don't see it happening personally. They're not doing 3 consecutive nights all tour. The ocd in me would go fucking mental at the prospect of changing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the 'end of A-Levels' appeal is waning / wearing thin. My son is 17 now and wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I did it in 13/14 when I was mid to late teens and didn't know better and at the time loved it. But there really is little appeal to it now. Would love to go and see what the crowd actually is like now. dont realise how shit it actually is until you go to Glastonbury and witness greatness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyonks Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Where would Greenday go if they played? Other Stage headliner next to Ed Sheeran? Or possibly Greenday subbing Foo Fighters on the Pyramid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djb.com Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 They're other stage headliners against ed sheeran, neil heard about this a while back but was pretty sure it was bull, now it's starting to look kinda legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the most "Reading and Leeds" set of headliners at any festival ever. All they needed was QOTSA subbing.
