2011 Lineup

[therefused]

to me though, its just i dont understand the friday night at all. my chem romance, a band people dont think are big enough to headline, against beady eye, who are a new band, and are also not big enough to headline. if you were to slot someone like mumford above beady eye, i dont think there would be this much moaning about the lineup at all.

mumford/janes addiction/muse

is an excellent weekend, for me, anyway.

If only death metal Rebecca headlined, we'd all be happy

So it was all as expected, what a terible let down.

Got a Friday day ticket (accidentally from See instead of Ticketmaster). Still gutted that I'm not going to be having the full experience this year.

Its not a good line up for me, only 4 bands that I really like on the bill. Also for the first time, theres not a headliner I would want to watch on the 3 main stages on either day. If I do have a criticism it is that some of the bands like jimmy eat world, rise against, friendly fires and 30stm are higher than a band of similar popularity would have been a few years ago, but suspect thats a lot to do with guitar music decreasing in popularity recently. I can see how people would be annoyed that a band like jimmy eat world have moved up a place in 4 years despite the fact they have got no more popular. I also feel there are too many repeat bookings but thats probably down a lot to who is available.

Anyone remember when the lock-up is usually announced?

[kaytee...]

what does this mean?

Main Stage

The Strokes (to close Reading)

Pulp (to close Leeds)

Will The Strokes be playing under Pulp at Leeds or are The Strokes only playing Reading?

Ignore, realised they're co-headliners

pretty poor over all, but im happy enought. its easier to deal with this sort of line up when its been on the cards for along time.

i aqree beady eye will draw a big crowd, but the "liam gallagher factor" will ware thin. simply because people will obviously want to see him, but if he's tunes aint good enought no one will want to see him again.

Has anyone been able to figure out why the hell Friendly Fires are so high up? The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Noah And The Whale and 2manydjs all seem too high as well...

It seems crazy when you think that Limp Bizkit and Lostprophets had lower slots last year than some of those bands do now... just seems really weak in comparison.

Stop complaining, just because you guys don't like it doesn't mean everyone else hates it, I like the line-up this year.

I'm all for it, Friendly Fires just sound like the Klaxons to me but I'd rather they got a shot at a high position than having to run away from another dull-as-shit set from Lostprophets.

I remember catching Friendly Fires set in the NME tent a few years ago and being blown away (and buying an album off the back of it). I'd really recommend seeing them if people can't decide what to see. Hard not to instantly enjoy some of the songs even if you haven't heard them before.

My observation is that the indie fans think the punk bands are too high and vice versa. With the newer bands, its hard to judge at this stage as nobody knows how big they will get. What I find most annoying is a band like jimmy eat world who since last time have probably lost a little popularity yet moved up the lineup for no obvious reason.
