And before anyone says those bands are all from the shit indie-landfill era of 05-08/9 I apologise but that's where I was looking and yes I realise that period of time was pretty extreme for the "unjustifiable popularity:crap" ratio but I think the point still stands - there are going to be bands in high-slots who really don't merit it

They were banging on this morning about having some massive Biffy news, although not sure how it got into this thread.

Don't know what the news was/will be. Unlikely to be confirmation of them headlining R&L and Radio One do all those, unless they were just announcing that they've heard the rumour.

EDIT: Think it was something to do with a special competition gig, ao not festival news.

The XFM News is big news..if you win :D

Oh Biffy! That would be an exclusive at Reading I am guessing boo! :P

On the whole subs thing, people are forgetting the size of those previous acts at the time while worth a punt during those summers they did sub they was bigish. (While still not the size of some of the suggestions we've had over the weekends). They are not crazy at all for making those choices, it just made sense with the music scene and what people were into at the time!

    • Yeah, hope it hurries up because I need to see if there are any clashes
    • Femur at a push. Silverwingkiller can be heavy. GNOD are heavy as f**k. Kitchen Lover can rock in a punk kinda way. Ghostwoman can be heavy. Model/Actriz too.

    • Remain self-imposed on not going north of a hundred, but... we're getting to the point now where the starting gun will be above that for some acts.
