[jfizzle]

No matter what the guy saw the people saying "I'd laugh my ass off if Neil was wrong" should so the guy some respect because many of you would no half as much as you think you do about any of the festivals this year without him.

efestivals are holding bak on the information and know that acdc are playing leeds on the 28th and reading on the 30th. i now know up to 20 people that have all confirmed that they have seen this information on there website before it was quickly removed. this is so that acdc fanatics dont buy all the tickets to the festrival jst to see acdc and not to see the festival and hence ruin it for everybody else.

[lee_10]

on acdc's website it said that they would be headlining leeds on friday 28th and reading on the 30th and this has been confirmed by more than 30 sightings on there website now

[jackthebassist]

just the right size band to headline the R1/NME tent if you ask me

[leebyron]

I can admit that I was wrong about them headlining, and whoever this weird guy is.. they're never headlining now.

But.. I can guarantee that it DID appear on their website this afternoon (For some unknown reason) and the guy on here is telling the truth about that.

Sorry for the false alarm, my bad!

AC/DC - Too Loud To Headline Reading?

NME By Alan WoodhousePosted on 15/04/09 at 12:43:15 pm

Speaking as someone who is generally perceived be the epitome of an "indie boy" (well, that's what my girlfriend calls me) I've, until recently, been a bit sniffy about the kind of rock (rawk?) music which tends to attract fans to the Download Festival and the last day of Reading.

Speaking of Reading, it was long rumoured, in fact generally assumed, that the 'rock day' headliner this year would be AC/DC – they've been trying to get them for years, they are on tour - the planets were aligned on this one.

But it didn't happen, and there isn't even a 'rock day' on the main stage at all. But the organisers should have moved heaven and earth to get them – because their performance at London's O2 Arena last night was without the doubt the best arena show I have ever seen.

Everything about it was perfect – the punishing volume, the choice of songs (five new album tracks and THE HITS), the audience's frenzied reaction, and the sheer spectacle. You can read about all that in our news story.

But when I was on the way home, I couldn't help thinking that if those boys were to headline a festival, they would make everyone else sound unspeakably lame. Although having said that, if they had done Reading, the organisers would have had to do something about the sound restrictions. Maybe that's what AC/DC were concerned about, as they were in talks, but subsequently chose to do their own summer stadium shows instead.

Anyway, the idea of watching Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon and even the mighty Radiohead doesn't seem quite as exciting now. In fact, I'm worried that whoever I see in the future will just pale in comparison to what I've just witnessed.

To those who rocked, I salute you

[Lithium05]

I was at the O2 on tuesday, and it was by far the best gig I've ever been to. And I've been to ALOT of gigs.

I completely agree that the organisers should have "moved heaven and earth" to get them, and future gigs will seem pale in comparison.

AC/DC > KOL, AM and Radiohead put together. And it's not close.

[hearing_aid]

Surely a positive review from the NME proves that AC/DC are in fact crap tho...

[DaveElNino]

While not the best ever gig I've been to it's only been topped by three bands whose music I listen to a lot more than AC/DCs. The stage show and performance however can't be faulted and if I see another show this year that gets close to it then I will be overjoyed.

[Joshuwarr]

I'm happy with Radiohead thank you very much

Not got anything against AC/DC though. If anything they should cut out KOL shove Arctics on friday, Radiohead saturday and AC/DC on the sunday.

AC/DC - Too Loud To Headline Reading?

[Azzy G]

Didn't Metallica pay the sound fine out of their own pockets to play at a higher volume last year?

[howlin_pete]

I noticed how much louder 'tallica were last year, and how much better it made the performance. Even my mates back at the tents noticed how much louder it was
