They're an arena band, no way will they play 3rd.

Placebo were playing Arenas back in 2009. Biffy Clyro were an arena band last year. Im not sure what venues Weezer would play.

They'll probably play 2nd but there's more to a really strong sub than whether or not they're an arena band.

Sweet! Time to start listening to them properly!

Good booking, exciting.

Subbing Muse perhaps?

Really don't care about Elbow, but it's more interesting than booking The Prodigy again.

[beards]

Chuffed about Elbow! One Day Like This while the suns going down will be lovely

Fantastic news, If two of the subs are Pulp and Elbow then the subs will be better than the main acts.

Not underestimating their overall popularity; more doubting how much appeal they have to a Reading demographic.

I hope I'm wrong and they have a fantastic crowd...but I worry you'll get far too many people just waiting for the headliner, which is boring.

People do realise that '2nd from top' is third not sub?

Headliner < Top.

Sub < 1st from top.

Third < 2nd from top.

You got the general idea . But point taken.

[Tigerdragon]

Ha, it's just most people seem to be talking about them as sub's when Neil specifically said '2nd from top'.

I don't care if this gets me to stick, but 2nd from top for me has always meant 2nd from top, as in sub-headlining, as the band just before the headliner. Total news to me that it means something different.

Listening to Leader Of The Free World at the moment and I had forgotten what a good album it was.
