I realise that RATM was a long time ago, I was just saying that I don’t think that they’ll worry to much about genres when they’re looking for a replacement with a week’s notice.

Not really. The main three were RATM, Liam Gallagher and Stormzy and they were replaced with Stormzy, Liam Gallagher and Post Malone. Despite claims that there are six equal headliners , QOTSA, CATB and Disclosure were very much the smaller headliners

Tell that to the ones who bought Sunday tickets for RATM

No reason why they can’t change genre, don’t forget that Post Malone was a technically a replacement for RATM.

They haven’t been that careful, the reason that there isn’t many overseas acts left on the line up is because.at least 20 or 30 have already pulled out.

Just recovering from Bloodstock, seemed like it was a huge success. It was even better than I imagined it would be to be back in the festival atmosphere again.Had an absolutely awesome time. Now for Reading in two weeks

1, Biffy Clyro 2, Fever333 3, Bob Vylan 4, Creeper 5, Dinosaur Pile Up 6, Loathe 7, Badflower 8, Holding Absence Hoping for some secret sets to make up the 10 as I’ve had a few drop outs from Ho99o9, QOTSA, Spiritbox,Gallows and Cleopatrick. Hoping the gods of fate will rebalance the withdrawals with the likes of Architects, Idles or Frank Carter.

As long as he doesn’t clash with Fever333, I’ll be watching him. On a related note, I will not be responsible for my actions if he clashes with Fever333.

Yes and please

Yeah, three bands pulled out, Ho99o9, Spiritbox and Cleopatrick, but they only replaced them with two. Loathe and Holding Absence.

Hopefully yes. I love DPU, seen them 6 or 7 times already and they’ve been great every time. Have no interest whatsoever in watching Stormzy so this will be a great alternative but, as I said, I fear that we’ll be the minority

I think they’ve thrown DPU (and Gallows before them) under the bus. Surely they know that both bands aren’t big enough to headline that stage and that they’ll not get much passing interest when Stormzy is on. Add in the fact that there isn’t much else to tempt a DPU (or Gallows) fan to the festival in the first place. Then everyone will have confused faces when the tent is half empty and everyone will be tutting about the viability of having the Lock up tent.

I think I jinxed it. Of the 9 bands listed that I wanted to see, four have dropped out. The most frustrating part is that it was always going to be a close call whether the overseas bands could make it so why didn’t they book a pile of British bands in the first place. Happy with Loathe and Dinosaur pileup being added though. Saying that, as much as I love them, Dinosaur Pile up headlining the Lock up tent is ludicrous,last time they played they were half way down the bill and they haven’t got any bigger since. Boston Manor are bigger then them for a start.

Happy with those three but shame that it’s at the expense of Gallows and Cleopatrick though.

I like Hardwired too. Not in my top 3 from Metallica or anything like that but I think it’s a great album.

When Shikari did the three sets they did one set on a different day.

But Reading/Leeds is 16 days away and they only have to isolate for 10

Frank Turner has tweeted that he’s looking for a gig on that weekend as 1 big summer has been cancelled. May be a secret set (or replacement for anyone who’s a late pull out)

Yeah, WSS would be top of my list

Yeah, I thought Loathe as well. Hadn’t thought of Scarlxrd though

Yeah, I remember that. Trouble is I didn’t notice until a day or so before that they weren’t playing and was not happy.

I get that but most other businesses would still need to look after their potential future customers by treating them well.Thatobviously doesn’t apply in Reading/Leeds case as there’ll still be a queue of new people wanting tickets next year regardless.

What’s annoying is that the festival aren’t even keeping us up to date. The fact Spiritbox have pulled out was discovered because someone spotted it on their instagram and Ho99o9 have been removed from the poster without comment. Fair play to Bloodstock who have kept us up to date every time there is a line up change.

Bollocks! Ho99o9 gone too. Im down to 7 for the weekend (would’ve been 6 after QOTSA pulled out but happy with Biffy) Fingers and everything else is crossed that the replacements are good.

Noooooo! ive only got 9 bands that I really want to see all weekend and now that’s reduced to 8 (unless they get a decent replacement)
