Hmm interesting most of the people saying the line up is poor are comparing it to the first time they went 10 years ago. Maybe you've changed not the festival ;)

Having said that ive only been going for 4 years and the headliners are great, and so is the nme but the main stage under card is a tad underwhelming

Another point black keys are subbing, they played a few nights at ali pali, and BBC are 3rd played one night at ali pali so maybe there not that out of place in terms of ticket sales

Im definitely thinking Glasto, although even that is very mixed, the good thing with it is that it has 2 stages of well known acts as opposed to R/L's 1. Latitude/Bestival Im debating, they just arent big enough to attract the enough of the bigger names.

16 bands I'd like to see so far! I'd say thats a pretty successful first announcement personally! Bar the headliners really looking forward to The Black Keys, The Shins, The Horrors, Band of Skulls! Amongst others!

I don't actually know what people expect ? .. R+L can't just get bands who aren't together or don't tour, or have their own shows, or are doing other things etc.

This isn't a poor line-up, its just a reflection of music at this moment in time.

Must be hard to book between the popular acts to sell the tickets and the bands the typical R+L crowds want.

I think this is a good mixture.

    • The tickets for the back at Muse, did go on sale. I know because I bought tickets there because they were the cheapest. All in with fee's, I got tickets at £81.20 each.   So likely, sold out quickly for those wanting the cheapest tickets. Either that or sold poorly and they took them off sale and when I turn up they offer me paper ticket upgrades because they closed the back.
    • She's headlining Reading and Leeds. Not to be sniffed at. She's also done her substantial arena tour since last time.    I think she's a decent bet to do it.
    • The best Punisher stuff from the Bernthal time is probably Daredevil. Although season 2 of Punisher is a great kinda study on what Castle can be.   But his first turn up in Daredevil was an absolute blast.    I thought Brand New Day did a decent job with him.
    • Basement only getting 30 mins right at the start of the day is a ballache, how annoying
    • Urban Voodoo Machine at Molly's Chamber in Birkenhead. Always a great show, quite funny to see them squeezed onto such a small stage. Sort of New Orleans vibes, starting with a procession from the back of the crowd, and finishing with an acoustic singalong in the same direction, joined by the support act. Marvellous.      20260806_225146.mp4
