Hi guys,

Been reading up on these forums for a while, but only just decided to join so this is my first post, so be kind :-)

who do you think will be performing in dance tent this year? seen a topic already regarding magnetic man, which is looking rather unlikely due to their SW4 and creamfields gig, which im gutted about because I pretty much missed every dance tent act last year due to being in a bit of a state on the sunday and not knowing where I was!

So therefore Im looking forward to dance tent even more this year, and plan to spend majority of my sunday there, especially if MCR are on the sunday...

I'm hoping for aphex twin, chase & status (maybe too big for dance tent now), nero, or someone along them lines.

Chase & Status are playing V so unlikely to be at Reading. Could do another DJ set though. Their set in '09 was packed, people were hanging off the poles & had to be shut down (I don't remember this).

Nero is a good call & I've seen Aphex Twin mentioned before. I reckon the Qemists might appear as they have a bit of cross over appeal. Might end up with a Pendulum DJ set early on, which would give them time to get to London for SW4, unlikely though.

Would like to see Sub Focus (awesome last year), Brookes Brothers, Nero, Zinc, The Nextmen, Freestylers & a more dancey act like Tensnake/Mylo, any of them to turn up. Tbh I think they should just hand the tent over to Hospital records to curate the whole day. That wouldn't please everyone though.

It's pretty gash Cremfields & SW4 are on at the same time.

hmm nero may play on the dance tent, but i have a feeling they could play low NME, although i reckon dance tent is more likely and probably the better option for them.

i reckon it will be similar to last year in terms of dubstep & DNB acts playing higher up the tent, so im thinking maybe danny byrd, caspa, shy fx, DJ fresh etc.. but thinking about it, last years dance tent would be hard to top seen as rusko/MM/Subfocus are pretty much the most known and successful in the industry.

Oh right didnt realise chase n status were at V.

Yea would welcome any of the mentioned above.

I know this has nothing to do with reading, but anyone going to see deadmau5 at victoria park? Just released the line up, which is looking good.

Would welcome most of them at reading.

Apologies didnt realise there was another thread for this.

Yea I saw skrillex at a car park rave in london in january. was his first UK gig and it was pretty mental.. think he'd be brilliant at reading. Modestep were also at the same event and were much better than I expected, getting quite alot of Radio 1 airplay so could be a possibility also.

yea I would see all of them, seeing Nero this weekend in newcastle too, and will also see them at deadmau5 gig so not too fussed if their there, haven't seen caspa so would like to see him, not a fan of danny byrd. high contrast maybe?

Caspa destroyed my ears in fabric a few weeks ago, gets a bit samey after 45mins for me though. Danny Byrd was a bit rubbish, he played a mix od DnB & rave music that nobody liked. High Contrast is standard festival fayre now, nobody hates him, but everyones seen it before. Would like to see Skrillex on the bill as I doubt many people would have had the chance to see him & he's an up & coming DJ. New Zealand Shapeshifter are new Hospitality signing that I could potentially see play. Tbh, I think it's going to go down the dubstep route rather than DnB.

The line up for dance tent doesn't announced for ages so it's gunna be a long wait.

Was said on another thread that Flux Pavilion has said he is playing, which tends to suggest they are taking the dubstep route again.

In that case maybe Nero is a good shout for headliners. If they bring a album out this year its going to be huge with Radio1 plugging every song by them

      That leaker off Instagram was saying earlier this year that Nickelback are doing a tour with Broco and Wargasm, but no evidence as yet

      Gojira are unoficially confirmed by the organisation at Hellfest since last December already.   Slayer was supposed to be this year as a Mainstage 2 headliner at the place of Volbeat for a thrash day but negotiations fell off. Very likely to be there next year.    MCR I didn't know about but it fits well with Hellfest's desire to keep one day as more punk/rock orientated.    Europe are a confirmed headliner for Sweden Rock 2027. They will not headline HF but we may seem them on the bill. I am very curious who will be the legacy bands next year at HF. There was some backlash after 2025 and a bit of a return to heavier metal on the bill in 2026 - e.g. Gatekeeper on the main stage. The only considerable legacy acts I see coming (if they are in Europe) and haven't been at HF for a while are Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Slash, FFDP (if you count them as legacy), ZZ Top, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I really hope they manage to pull sth big for the 20th anniversary like AC/DC.

      Looking forward to Doja Cat letting us all know what is going on later on today. It is a good job that somebody is keeping us informed.
