Next annoucement!

[theloveofmusic1]

the next one should be in a 3 or 4 weeks so which bands are people hoping for???

my guess is for these bands to added

Baddies

Funeral Party

The Pretty Reckless (as the special guest)

Noisetts

The Rifles

Brother

Mars Volta (extra band on MCR day?)

The Subways (Special guest?)

Little Comets (FR)

Minus The Bear (NME)

Yuck

[FiestaDave]

A few of them have self confirmed, so it's more of an educated guess.

[mrtourette]

Thirteen band left to complete the main staghe and NME/R1 tent, fourteen if you include the special guests. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

[FiestaDave]

Any ideas of bands that are new and have an album released before the festival (like The Drums last year)?

God they're awful. Them self confirming made me cry inside. Ah well, someone must like them.

[kibble]

Mars Volta would be amazing.

[FiestaDave]

haha, i quite like them but then again i think i more like the fact i was at their first ever gig, the support band was a lot better but the atmosphere was amazing for brother

[theloveofmusic1]

Fair enough, i dont overly hate their music just it's not my cup of tea and they come across as right w*nkers.

It will probably be bands like Dinosaur Pile-Up, Fight Like Apes, Brother, Funeral Party, Fleet Foxes, Battles, Yuck, Anna Calvi, Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, etc. (unless some of them are higher up in the FR tent).

Special guest will probably be someone like Kate Nash or the Ting Tings, or someone from a famous band doing some solo stuff (no not Eddie Vedder), although I'd prefer it to be The Music or The Bluetones.

The additonal band on the main stage? Gotta be The Subways!

[chappiepunk]

Is the lockup announced on the third announcement?

[chappiepunk]

its announced by Mike Davies on his radio show... can't remember when its announced though

[Buko]

If I remember correctly I think last year we got both the Lock Up announcement & the 3rd announcement (rest of the NME/MAIN stage bands) on the same day, like mid may?

on the 2009 site it says the Lock up was announced on the Mike Davis show on the 28th April & the rest of the Main & NME stage was announced on the 26th May

So easily within the next 4/5 weeks

[mrtourette]

From the FAQ thread:

What about the other stages?

Last year additional main stage and NME/Radio One bands were announced in the middle of April, Lock-Up and dance tents at the end of May, the FR tent in the middle of June, alternative tent in the middle of July and the BBC Introducing stage towards the end of July. Expect it to be something like that again.

If you search Reading 2010 on efests, then click on news it should say when stuff was announced last year.
