2012 Lineup

[Hawky]

I will bet my hamster that there is another announcement after NoFx's tour and they get announced

[JBarbour]

it was planned.

[guitarbhoy1888]

it looks like theres still another act to be announced for saturday and sunday reading ....

tenacious d and noFx :/ ??

[Yellow_Fellow]

Are you sure its not on leeds fest fb, reading fb, r&l twitter or either website?

Felt like a last min decision to make announcement seen as v releasing more tickets on fri and made announcement today

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

announcement times are determined with the acts when they're booked

[MAD HARRY 27]

No Sleigh Bells

[lightning1000]

There's always Christmas to look forward to....

[Prufrock]

As if the Apologies, I have Non and the PABH clash wasn't bad enough, they've also thrown Of Monsters and Men into the mix. Wtf FR?!?!

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Fuck, Tribes and Gaslight could clash :-(

[mrtourette]

A few decent additions. Not loads.

I'm interested by the phrase 'More artists to be announced on these stages and other stages soon' - suggests there's more to come beyond the FR stage?

[mrtourette]

Nar not buying it. It was a rush announcement. May have been pressured by v adding bands and releasing more tickets. Why wouldn't official websites/facebook/twitter be updated along with nme website when they sponsor stage with r1.

Fair play it was a quality announcement

People seem to have stopped talking about the possible Crystal Castles/Robert Smith performance for Not In Love so I'll throw something else into the mix...

I've just seen a video where Trash Talk join Odd Future onstage for Radicals, it looked pretty sick.

Bit worried about the distance from the band though, I can see it being quite detached compared to most of their smaller shows. Especially on the mainstage!

[kaosmark2]

Alternative Stage and BBC Introducing.

[mrtourette]

My point was more the 'these'. That means there's supposedly more acts to come on the stages we've already got.

Why would it be a rush announcement? V isn't even R/L competition anymore, and it's booked with a set time that information will be released. Determined at the time of booking.

[Yellow_Fellow]

I dunno, but why speculate when the conditions required to announce are clearly outlined in artists contracts?

[Vieuphoria]

but why not?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Because that's stupid.

[lharris92]

they probably all went home and decided to leave it til the next day.

[Avens]

Pretty happy with the lineup in general, but will be pissed off if Saves the Day and Coheed clash. Doesn't look like they will, though...
