Doves?

[VCK]

Well if they were Main Stage they'd be mid to high which kind of rules that one out. Some people predicted them for NME headliner but if Rocksound's story about two heavy NME headliners turns out true then does this mean they're not playing?

[dip]

there are 3 headliners for NME they could just be the other one None of the bands announced so far will be headlining NME

[jammy2211]

Neil always said they were playing R/L or V, and he wasn't sure, but guessed R/L.

Could still be announced. I'm looking at the Radiohead day lineup and thinking there's at least a big name or two missing on the main stage. Arctic Monkeys/Prodigy/Maximo Park/Ian Brown are all big names on one day, and KoL/Kaisers/Placebo/Fall Out Boy/Deftones are all big names on the other (though a few aren't to my taste).

On the Radiohead day it's only them and Bloc Party I'd count in that league at the moment. Would love to see Doves occupy that slot since I have a day ticket...

Would Doves go as low as 6th though?

I think Vampire Weekend may drop a slot, or even two, with Doves ahead of them. Possibly the 'Special guests' once Latitude sells out/is finished

[fat_man_joe]

Looks like no Doves, as I believe Neil suggested they would be apprearing at either Glasto or Reading, and have now been confirmed for Glasto.. shame

[mattyp]

They would be a great addition to the Sunday line up, would be nice to see them below Bloc Party.

I honestly think they will be at V though, they seem to fit in alot more with other acts like Elbow, Snow Patrol and Oasis.

There new album is preety good too, one of a limited number of bands who have released four decent albums.

[robsadler]

i have my fingers crossed.

it wouldn't surprise me if they were low down on the bill though as although they deserve to be right up there, there is not the kind of buzz around them as there are with bands like vampire weekend.

[thetime]

just got the new album today, along with bat for lashes new one. cant wait to listen tonight at work

[zeppelin]

surely there's no where for them to go?

assuming they're still SR cos neil hasn't had a chance to change it

[robsadler]

id love them to get squeezed in somewhere but i doubt it.

i've only seen them once and that was supporting oasis at wembley stadium in about 2000 so would love to see them again!

I'm sure i read somewhere that The Living end are actually opening the mainstage:

http://www.readingfestival.com/lineup/arti...%20Living%20End

"Australia’s THE LIVING END will be suitably loud opening to the Main Stage for the day"

So ya know, could be alot of bands left to fill up sunday.

[zeppelin]

interesting...

[devbot]

Not trying to be a major troll here, but Doves will be there.
