Paramore TBC!

[tomdsjames]

But still that probably means lost prophets are under paramore could turn out to be a pretty pop punk day

so is this the year of pop punk for the kerrang readers instead of indie for the nme readers?

QUESTION TO EFESTIVALS:

How come you're so sure about the booking of 2 or 3 acts? surely you must know all of them?

*Chuffed about paramore btw

I'm pleased with this. I think they're a better band than some people give them credit for. Hayley is a talented frontwoman.

R.I.P Reading Festival...

People saying Paramore are bigger than Queens Of The Stone Age or Tenacious D, get a grip.

Yet another kiddy band gracing the upper main stage of Reading, oh the joy.

[Lithium05]

Oh please , they're no more a kiddie band than Kaiser Chiefs or Kings of Leon, yes, they do have young fans, this is the "pitfall"(if you can call it that) of being a radio friendly band, they have fans of all sorts of ages, that's why they were able to have a number 1 album, that's why they're playing second on the bill, and judging by the majority of responses in this thread they're a good booking

If this is true I think a lot of 'bigger', more established bands will play underneath Paramore, which is a shame. A band such as Weezer, for instance, below Paramore?!

I'm not suprised by this booking, I thought that they would be 2nd or 3rd but still it is a dissapointment to see it down as TBC and even worse as taking a subheadline slot. A pretty poor pop punk band in my eyes and though that crush song wasn't bad I'll say, to see them down as another high slot that I won't be seeing, I'm struggling to see what bands I will actually be watching at this years fest. At this rate it will be bands who I can easily see and who I can see by forking out only 10/15 quid. It's looking more and more likely that FR will struggle to sell out as quickly as other years and their reputation will surely take a beating at this rate.

[sjp_121]

Will be staying well clear of the main stage for the top two then

Weezer however =

Hopefully someone cool will be on the other stages.

i think paramore are a really good band and deserve some respect tbh. so some people dont think theyre big enough to be that far up the bill, but i can guarantee a lot of people will go and watch them. i saw them in december and the fact that they can sell out such big venues surely means they're good enough. just my opinion though

[scottt]

Not really a big surprise. Was debating wether to put them 3rd or 2nd. I understand lots of people dont like them, but i dont see how anyone can say that at this moment in time, theyre not big enough to play second. Compare them to Arcade Fire and MCR and they could headline!

[craig-g]

Think they'll be fourth of fifth band down on main stage.

Its funny I started going to the festival ten years ago and remembered thinking that I would never grow out of it. Now I see paramore second on the bill and realise im completely out of touch! Not a criticism of a band just the realism that the target audience is now younger than me. I also dont get why people think the lead singer is so attractive. I think its because she is a Rare female in a male dominated industry. I dont think she would stand out at all in your average club.

LP = Lostprophets (I'm assuming)

[fest-it-up]

dayyuum, i hope someone good clashes with them.

for me, paramore songs all sound the same, i gather the crowd will consist of exactly the same people as youmeatsix did last year..another band i hate

[Dragon_Force]

Pretty happy about this. Will be good seeing them again.

[Cozzi]

looks good so far, would rather see these headline then MCR any day!

[saskofreak]

ive always wanted to see them, therefore im happy.
