new announcement

[ALLHALLOWS]

Looks like my wish of The Hold Steady is fast disintergrating.

La Roux headlining are are they joking????

Some of the other acts lower down on the bill like Bear Hands, Hockey etc aren't too bad though.

f**k. Jack's Mannequin.

I'm gonna have to snag me a day ticket now.

[Budweiser]

I'd thought The View would've been on the NME stage - Well they've wasted a good spot on the mainstage, more landfill indie.

[robsadler]

not heard of quite a lot of the bands.

i quite like the view (the nme bigged them up so much when their debut album was out i think that the hate they are receiving now is a bit of a backlash), the joy formidable and pulled apart by horses (saw them both on the introducing stage last year and they were really good).

will have to research the rest!

I think Death Cab are about as likely as Hendrix now.

[therumour]

Excited for Jack's Mannequin, Lightspeed Champion and La Roux...but not much else. Bring Me The Horizon urgh.

Would absoultely love Death Cab but it's not looking very good :/

Wow. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrell this year. The View are an awful, awful band and the rest of those announced aren't much better. So much for FLC and all the other better suggestions. Apparently it's all mainstream and obscure indie and emo. No room for proven entities

[JakeH]

I'm happy about Marma Duke Duke, Bombay Bicycle Club, Atreyu and Magistrates

[robsadler]

All in all there's some decent bands in there I think. Ok so I'm gonna mention that I like La Roux, and will get her album when it comes out, but other than that Bombay Bicycle Club, Marmaduke Duke, The Blackout, Go Audio, Hockey, Marina and the Diamonds, The Joy Formidable. Ok maybe it's just me thats pleased

[Im_in_a_tent]

:/ where the f**k is 36 Crazyfists going to go .

[lifelessfool]

The announcement is pretty average for me nothing to scream about, I thought twin atlantic might get announced for the FR but looks like they wont be playing , Looking foreward to the grammatics, hockey and golden silvers.

[scottt]

36 crazyfists below the living end?

Dont see why they wouldnt have been announced yet, though

[Englishdragon]

Im pretty happy with the announcement. More bands than usual I wannt to check out in the FR stage.

Im guessing the last 2 bands to be announced for the Saturday are going to be 36Crazyfists and Bowling for Soup (although Im still holding out for The Hold Steady to be on that day)

Looking forward to Dance and Comedy announcement now

[kaosmark2]

Marmaduke, Black Lips and Soulsavers? Nice.

[tombenj]

Upset about the lack of Death Cab if i'm honest, and I don't usually get wound up about bands not featuring!

Looking forward to Marmaduke Duke, The Rumble Strips, Lightspeed Champion, A Day To Remember, and Magistrates, but other than that i'm thoroughly unmoved.

However, not a bad announcement for most I would imagine, I can understand most of the bookings, EXCEPT Bring Me The Horizon?!

Ridiculous.

[rockinthecasbah]

There's some alright bands in that announcement. I'll definitely go and see White Denim and Bombay Bicycle Club, and there's a few other bands I'll probably watch clashes permitting.

The headliners are a bit of a letdown though, after all the talk of the likes of Idlewild and Death Cab being there. Maybe they were always a bit unlikely. Disappointed Bon Iver isn't there either.

And I'm very annoyed by Bring Me The Horizon's presence. I wish they'd go away.

[moshing]

A lot of stuff I have not heard - will be busy on you tube for a while.

Am please with The Blackout and Bombay Bicycle Club.

[howlin_pete]

I was gutted that Bring Me The Horizen are there, but my mate told me I'm not actually going to be forced to see them and can actually do anything I want while there playing. Great news I'm sure you'll agree!

[hearing_aid]

hmm, a bit of an odd annoucment. Still some decent bands in there. A Place To Bury Strangers, The Joy Formidable stand out. I would reccomend people check out Titus Andronicus, think a lot of people here would like them. Though seems like bands like White Denim, Fight Like Apes, bombay Biycle Club, Pulled Apart By Horses should have been on last year..

If i was going I would check some of them out though they missed out loads of bands they could have put on. Can't believe they have not got Future Of The Lelft on the bill somewhere, seeing as they are pretty much the best british rock band of the las few years or so...

[Davey_T]

BMTH and TBO are swapped around for leeds. So alternating headlining.

[Messiah Jason]

So The Blackout are headlining the FR stage on friday.. that's shit for my purposes.

Oh well The Gossip it is then.

[Budweiser]

More 14 year old scene kids attending the festival for the likes of BMTH.
