Annoyed at Lineup

[mrtourette]

lol

I'm pretty sure this guy is joking

[rexclark]

Don't know why but for some reason I assumed it was a girl. Weird.

[saskofreak]

Cause they're f**king clueless and talking shit?

[rexclark]

oi, im not that retarded.

[DaLumberjack]

No need for Bloc Party hating . Hence the username .

'Bloc Party' and 'get people moving' should never appear in the same sentence after the last 3 years.

[silent_alarm]

Haha I've just been to Leeds the once and they were good. I agree they shouldn't play 4 years in a row though just because it'd be a poor crowd but they're a good band.

[1karim]

I disagree, it would get people moving as far away as possible.

Hey, I'm going to Reading this year and it will be my 3rd time, however I don't understand why the lineup is so rocky :S. Sure, 2008 had rock bands on it, but not a stupidly large amount like this year, I even gave Rage Against a Machine a chance and thought they were awful! The Killers blew them off the stage the following night! Queens in the Stone Age played that year too and they're back again, can't they find any new bands for a change? :S

Why couldn't there be bands like MGMT, The Enemy and Bloc Party back? Something to get the crowd moving. It's not meant to be a rock festival full of emos and mosh pitting :S

HAHAHAHAHAHA thank you for the laugh.

Well done Melvin Benn for choosing a line up that gets rid of most of the chavs to festivals that suit their requirements!

[lolbot]

While this is an obvious WUM, we have to remember that he can pull it off because there actually are festivalgoers out there who think these insane thoughts. These people need to be put under house arrest during the festival season.

[Role Model]

a clear piss take, but you're never going to please everyone with a festival line-up, certainly not R&L's because these days it attracts such a vast different amount of people expecting different things. much easier to please the Download audience, because everyones there for the same sort of thing.

[biglewhill]

Melvin has done a fine job of disposing of all the bandwagon-jumpers this year, hopefully leaving R&L in a perfect state

CAPS LOCK

[Taylor.]

Yeah what he said but without the caps.

I hope you enjoy spending £180 on a ticket and watch shit bands. For me and i'm sure alot of other people on this forum this line-up is close to a dream line so you're not gonna get alot of takers on your need for bloc party. I'm sick of hearing flux.

V festival have some good 'indie' bands yano go there. I'm actually going to V aswell but this is just to make the girlfriend smile before i go to a real festival a week later and appreciate some real music.

[choadus]

What does that mean?

And yeah to the poster earlier, I think I will be selling my ticket to go to V actually, see some bands who can put on a show. Rather than Arcade Fire wherever they've come from

[jaab]

this guy's music taste makes me question my faith in humanity..

this year's lineup takes a shit on '09

[Griptool]

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP, I was also at 08 - the Killers ripped the place up whilst RATM could hardly get a murmur out of the crowd, wasn't a problem for me as I was in the dance tent with the cool kids

And another thing AAAAARRRGGGHHH WHERE IS MY BLOC PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
