Mike Patton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Stereophonics headlined in 2000 and Garbage headlined in 98 so it isn't always heavy bands who headline the sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pee2pee Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Sunday is always the heaviest day at Reading, whoever plays. Rage were only on the Friday because Metallica are bigger and both are headlining bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Patton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wouldn't you say that Metallica are the heavier band anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Patton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 RATM only played Friday so they could play Leeds on Saturday to be back in Washington on Sunday for a rally.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benisright Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) What does the heavyness of a band really f**king matter. Give me quality any day. Rage on the Sunday = major "riots".

brettredmayne Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 So after all this, what are the chances of radiohead playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 So after all this, what are the chances of radiohead playing. slim I think ... they were defo in the frame, then they didn't want to do it. But as the fest didn't (I believe) get Green Day as expected there will have been a slot to fill, and perhaps Radiohead got persuaded to fill it.

Mike Patton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yup I post for about a month after the festival then leave till around this time, Just in time for the rumours. Still havent decided if im actually going for lucky 7 this year, im in the process of buying a house Is it me or does Radiohead just think they can boss the festivals. They did something similar with Glastonbury last year didnt they, Wanting to play, then complaining. It would be nice to have them but im sure FR can find another headliner just as big.

VCK Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 no there doesn't. The idea of there always being a "heavy Sunday" is a myth - sometimes it is, but not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Right...so if you look at every Reading line-up for at least the past ten years you don't notice that the Sunday is collectively heavier than the other two days? (Although all the bands on the Friday in 2003 were suitable for Sunday) I should have said "metal Sunday" and not "heavy Sunday"- that's what I meant.

Mike Patton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Fair enough. Even before Download came about there wasn't a great deal of metal on the Sunday. Edited January 23, 2009 by Mike Patton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossg123 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wow! I made this thread October 08. Looks like I might have predicted a random headliner. I really hope they play, wouldn't care about any of the other bands if they did. RADIOHEAD RADIOHEAD RADIOHEAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neatneatneat Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I have found Radiohead boring since 'OK Computer'...which seemed to be the turning point for them. I think they've disappeared up their own arses since then. 'The Bends' is good and 'Pablo Honey' is alright...the only two albums of theirs I ever listen to.

thomasowen Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If it isn't going to be Green Day (and Melvin and the people who know seem to be convinced that it isn't) then who else could really fill a Sunday night slot?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
