2012 Lineup

[Gingetastico]

I think it was the fact that with all fees included it came to over £200.

And that MCR were headlining.

And that nobody knew it was my birthday. More people would of come for that.

My 20th birthday deserves to open the FR stage.

IMO the poor sales were down to a weak line up in general, not the fact they had '2 weak co-headliners' The majority of lineups over the last 10 years probably have what was deemed to be a weak headliner when the line up was announced, and tickets usually sell pretty quickly.

[Gingetastico]

It was the poor line up and high price.

Your birthday is the only reason I went, be assured I celebrated in style for you.

I always put the poor sales last year (and in 2010) down to the fact that going to Reading and Leeds isn't the "in thing" any more.

Remember that 2007 and 2009 had poor line-ups as well, but they sold out in no time because at the time it was fashionable to go.

MB said stuff like, "oh last year, the reason for slow sales was because of the recession". NO. The reason for the slow sales was because it was a shite line up. Hopefully this year it will be a lot better

[FortMorris]

It was a culmination of a few things I guess.

That's basically my way of saying I can't be arsed to argue about it, when there's no hard proof

Appreciated. I'm hopefully there again this year. And I'm older, so you can get drunker.

[FortMorris]

I will just say though, that whilst on paper 2011 had the poorest line up in a while, I actually saw more bands than any other year I've been and came across a few gems!

sales are slowing down all round. The recession isn't an irrelevant factor, tho it may not be as big a factor as Melvin was claiming.

The little R next to Green Day means they might play.

[eFestivals]

Just saw this. Hoping it's as a sub

....Neil?

see the flo topic.

[jump]

I get that, but going by the way everyone seems to have been saying the third day header is FatM or Green Day, I got worried

[dentalplan]

So, if the info comes back and Green Day are ruled out, it's pretty safe to say it's Flo then?

[AcademicPistol]

That was part of problem tho, instead of having the usual 1 weak headline they had 3 instead.
