I hereby proclaim that all future Reading and Leeds headliners should make the festivals their only shows. Not their only festival, not their only show that summer, nor that year. I want them to be their only shows ever. The band must form in March when the lineup is announced, write some songs, and then disband the Monday morning after the festivals. That is the only true form of exclusivity, and I will not attend the festival unless my headliners are exclusives. If I had it my way I'd be the only one allowed to go. Damn you people and your ruining of my exclusivity.

Don't know if anyone cares apart from me but I've just seen Franz Ferdinand mention on their facebook that they're doing le cabaret vert festival in france on the same weekend as reading and leeds so no chance of them being there. Just incase anyone was hoping to see them with them doing Field day festival and other European festivals this year.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
