dannypal Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i think its a great set of headliners, it almost makes me want to go to reading or leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT06 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Quite pleased about radiohead, although im only really a fan of one album, the bends. One of my favourite albums and an integral part of my reading festival experience, The first reading i went to, i woke up at my friends house to this album playing, and now i listen to it every wednesday morning before i leave for the festival, my tradition to get me in the right mind frame didnt particularly enjoy the other releases. Kings of leon and arctic monkeys were both great live in the past too so im quite exited !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiky Mike Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've always liked the fact that Reading/Leeds gave a good mix of rock and indie. I think the introduction of Sonisphere has made Download fight extra hard and between them those 2 have grabbed virtually all the top rock/metal acts available, so it looks like this year will be a very indie line up which I for one am not best pleased about. Am likely to spend most of my time at the Lock Up and Comedy stages I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I agree. I'm getting sick of Reading each year going for more and more safe and "trendy" bands and catering for the designer welly brigade, who are being looked after at the expense of the loyal attendees . Last year we had Bloc Party play more or less in the exact same place as the year before Kings of Leon this year are looking like playing 1 slot higher than they did 2 years ago, Arctic Monkeys headlining on the basis that their new album will "probably be huge" (what if they end up doing a Kaiser Chiefs' and the new album gets slated and popularity plummits?!) As I've been saying in other threads, I wouldn't mind these bands flooding the top of the mainstage bill if the second stage wasn't similarly populated, I imagine this year will be much of the same (proove me wrong Melvin!). Id love to see any bands like Megadeth, Nightwish, Machine Head, f*ck it Id even take Nickelback as a second stage alternative to the Arctic Monkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeH Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I realised earlier that Radiohead headlining will actually be amazing, and will be completely gutted if it turns out it is actually someone else headlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyabis Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Not amused in the slightist if these are the headliners. Could go into detail but It's not worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny005 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 If you don't like the headliners there are other stages, even if its not someone you like/know if you hate the main stage go and see if you like it. I'm usually quite innebriahted at that time anyway so if I don't particularly like anyone just flip a coin. Its not the end of the world if I don't like them - go and enjoy the rest of the night in the campsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis2804 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The main singles are Karma Police, Creep, Paranoid Android, Just, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Nude, Everything In Its Right Place, No Suprises, Fake Plastic Trees. But there are a lot more singles and i reccomend listening to them all because they're excellent. And i highly reccomend getting In Rainbows seeing as the majority of the stuff they play will be from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraz01 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 why do radiohead NEVER play creep? they didnt play it in that set and ironically its the only song ive seen them play live. (at v 2006, watched kasabian but after they finished radiohead were just on the last few songs and they ended on creep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axenreign Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I logged on simpily to try to vent at least a little of my utter disgust at this years lineup. Screw it this year. Hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Bob Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 well its pretty much gaurenteed this year will be full with indie kids and their straw hats, thinking they are having a mental time jumping up and down to Artic Monkeys. The only thing that drove me to go is the Deftones and The Prodigy. Two bands which actually requires talent to play their music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
