think there should be something there, I'm thinking Bloc..

[FiestaDave]

haha I'd rather they did a surprise set in the NME tent, would make their comeback bigger

[saints15]

Being away for one festival doesnt make appearing this year that big of a comeback...

[Yellow_Fellow]

... no, it really wouldn't.

[jump]

Unless they are headliners

The only reason I can think of for Bloc to keep being booked is they are being groomed for headliner status one day.

nah .... Reading/Leeds has a number of bands that it 'likes' and who feature on their line-ups quite a lot more than other bands - the ones that come to mind for me are Dropkick Murphies, The Streets, Elbow, and Bloc Party... but there's probably some others too.

[mrtourette]

Someone connected to Bloc Party has some photographs of Melvin Benn in a variety of compromising positions. It's the only explanation.

You can add The Subways and The Cribs to that list too. Also Frank Turner and KIGH have played 4 on the bounce now.

And Lostprophets & Enter Shikari.

Are some people underestimating the popularity of elbow. Unless I misheard the radio said they have had to add an extra date at the o2. I would say they are as popular in the uk as last years headliners, but maybe not to the demographic audience.

Yes I mean on this board in general. Elbow are easily as big as blink 182, mcr, the strokes in this country. I would love them to get a chance to headline a festival as they have worked themselves up the right way.

[eFestivals]

I've had word they're definitely playing. I'm pretty sure they're playing 2nd from top on one of the days.

ELBOW NOW TBC ON EFESTIVALS! Nice work Reading!

I agree - third from top would be a decent spot for Elbow with Reading and Leed's demographic.

Second might push it a bit - but I'm sure if Paramore can do it Elbow can.

They'll probably be second, even though I personally think they'd be better third. Saying that they're meant to be very good live and that's enough to make me excited to see them, wherever they play. Agreed, if Paramore can do it, so can Elbow!
