Arcade Fire

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Been listening to both albums and it's unbelievable how much I'm looking forward to them now. Got to admit, I only got my Saturday day ticket for The Libertines originally, but now I'm equally, if not more excited for AF. Following on, is going to be incredible though.

saturday bores me (reading) apart from a few bands... epic booze day i think

[PurpleFire]

I wont be going to watch them. 2 Reasons

1) Cannot stand Pete Doherty and will be avoiding the Libertines Set. Which means on the friday ill be in the tent instead of main stage.

2 Huge Enter Shikari fan, and i mean huge... So might aswell stick around for Pendulum after.

Not putting Arcade Fire down they just bore the living daylight out of me... Prefer a bit more tempo and noise lol

[Tom1889]

I was originally hellbent on watching Pendulum, but after much consideration and a lot of album listening, I'm definately seeing AF. I'll have to dash over from watching Enter Shikari to see them, but it's going to be superb

Btw DaveTheHedgehog, kudos on the Comsat Angels mention! Great band, greatly underrated, from my great city

It's just occurred to me how brilliant it would be for Merzbow to get the Main Stage.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Why has that just occurred to you?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Never thought about it really. I can't say I associate the two too often.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

It's because it would never happen. As much as I've always loved the guy, I wouldn't wish his music on an unsuspecting Reading/Leeds audience.

What the f**k do you know about Merzbow anyway? You think Slipknot aren't a metal band.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Still not over that? Wow, I thought you were the older one mate.

[stephen07]

Friday and Sunday is going to be amazing , Arcade Fire are 1 of the best live bands going imo.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Still not over that? Wow, I thought you were the older one mate.

[Yellow_Fellow]

What the actual f**k, you think because I don't think Slipknot aren't a metal band, I don't know Merzbow's work?

Are you serious?

I've heard some of Merzbow's work, that's how I know it's not exactly conventional.

Perfect. Apparently the gig was incredible too.

[Nathan113]

I hope it wasn't, was on ticketmaster from 9am and still failed to get tickets.

[pickitoutlandreau]

I cannot wait for this, don't think I've looked forward to a single festival set this much before. The whole weekend is just looking absolutely amazing.

The only downside of loving a band as much is the hurt you feel when they get to three albums in and some of your favourite tracks get cut out of the set. Looks as if 'Antichrist Television Blues', 'Windowsill' and 'Well and the Lighthouse' won't get an airing. Got to be happy with that set though, although I'm sure there'll be a few alterations before the end of August.

The album has leaked!

[lharris92]

The album has leaked!

[paulomas]

link to the album leak? i was at that gig at hackney empire. it was without a doubt the best gig i've been too. Reading is gonna be amazing, all the new songs live were brilliant and that encore was something else.

just got my weekend ticket this morning after cancelling my oxfam place, cant wait now. the thought of potentially missing them whilst doing a shift was enough to pull out of stewarding. f**k charity

[Jailbreak]

Haha I cant belive when the line up was announced I was set on seeing Pendulum, now Arcade Fire are by some distance my must see of the weekend
