2012 Lineup

[2rare2die]

Did anyone else notice Annie Mac say "They're so emo" whilst announcing The Cure? Trying to sell it to the kidz lol

[rexclark]

Foster the people and The Maccabes above The Courteeners, are they having a laugh.

[therefused]

it looks an ok lineup, but its a bit all over the place in regards to placings.

[the wonderwhy]

Please say I'll be able to see both Foster The People and The Cure?

[Gingo]

This is a lot like the TITP announcement in that I think a lot of the regulars will be disappointed, for me personally there is not a lot there that would do it for me

[Sam Halliday]

The Friday main stage (except for The Cure) is one of the worst Reading main stage line-ups I have ever seen.

This is until I glance over to the Saturday main stage (except for Kasabian), which is actually the worst Reading main stage line-up I have ever seen.

[The Moon]

I love the Vaccines, but for them to warrant a higher slot than the courteeners, the cribs, AvA is kinda mystifying, especially as they are a bit hit and miss live (seen them 8 times)

Also major laugh at this

[dentalplan]

Vaccines will need to perform every song they've ever written plus a few covers to fill the third slot.

Saturday is very poor

Friday and Sunday amazing (Leeds)

Missing for me Lostprophets, Rancid, Twin Atlantic, Dropkick Murphys, Less Than Jake etc etc

Paramore back again? They were garbage in 2010

However.. i love

Foo's, Kasabian, Vaccines, Shikari, Bullet, Kaiser's, Gaslight and Angels and Airwaves i'm happy with

Courteeners under Foster The People... eh?

Bombay 3rd from top... eh?

In general though happy with Fri and Sun not with Saturday (Leeds this is btw)

[Hart Attack]

Random as fuck, such a weird line-up. Questionable placements, unexpected bands playing (Paramore, Bullet, Coheed), expected ones not (Korn, Lostprophets, KIGH). Kind of a crappy poster design too, it looks all over the place.

I'm pretty happy with the line-up though, and have got myself a weekend ticket. Not as good as 2010, but it beats 2009 and 2011 for me. Shame about the lack of Korn, Prophets, ADTR, The Used and The Pretty Reckless, but solid nonetheless. Can't believe we got Paramore, that came completely out of nowhere!

[august1]

bbc look so out of place that high, lots of bands have been bumped up too high

I think its a good line up but wrongly placed with loads of clashes

[MUFCBoothy]

Justice Foo's clash

Courteeners a little low, vaccines very high.

Im pleased though! Bring it on.

[Dukeeyyy]

What happened to the days of Biffy, Placebo, Weezer, Dizzee, Primal Scream, Slipknot (before they pulled out) being 3rd from top!! Kaisser Chiefs are big for 3rd from top, and i love The Vaccines

[pollytoffeefudge]

Also major laugh at this

Foo's clashing with Justice!! FUCK!!!!

[Dukeeyyy]

Happy with Foo's day and Kasabian's days they are very good!

Doubt it to be honest, maybe the start of FTP and all of The Cure, or all of FTP and most of The Cure.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

So The Courteeners shouldn't clash with the Cure right? i know they will play an extended set!

[The Mean Bean]

Let's hope Paramore get the same warm reception that fiddy got.

[pink_triangle]

I would be tempted to get a day ticket purely for cribs and at the drive in. The rest of the line up isnt to my taste but I suppose its not aimed at people in their 30s. There seems a clear trend to me over recent years of smaller bands being pushed up the line up, however thats probably a lot to do with the fact that guitar music isnt as big as it was in the late 90s/early 00s, so a band doesnt need to be as big to be high up the bill. I remember first going in the 90s and the likes of Ocean colour scene, ash, bluetones, feeder etc had records sales which would make them borderline headliners now.

I also tried to get on to seetickets out of interest and got on strraight away, I remember spending hours in the past clicking refresh. I wonder if the price has now got to that level where people are deciding the experience doesnt justify the cost, I hope in a way it does sell poorly and forces the organisers to cut prices.
