2013 Lineup

[Mouseboy11]

I seriously can't remember many Dizzee Rascal songs that have been given mainstream radio play since his World Cup song, apart from his one with Dj Fresh.

[jump]

Number 1 singles? That means shit now doesnt it?

[evilduck]

It always seems to me that the heavier acts are more popular at Reading, the fact that dentalplan says 'treated' makes me think that Reading should go back to two heavy days. Maybe one heavier than the other. Plus as Sonisphere has pulled out means that there maybe more of a market for heavier stuff.

[thetime]

Maybe more popular on here, definitely not more popular at the fest.

[Mouseboy11]

Bring Me The Horizon new song Shadow Moses just played on Radio 1, not heard it but apparently it's good. I like the Metal Gear Solid reference too.

Mumfords now put down as rumour, what does this mean?

Surely they wouldn't be headlining as well as Biffy, and surely they would not be subbing after TITP announcement

I am very pleasantly surprised by that BMTH song; it's actually got some good melody and doesn't come across as as much of a dirge as their other stuff. May actually have to give their next album a listen.

[Mouseboy11]

I always thought BMTH were terrible and then they released There is a Hell... It's a great album... songs like Crucify Me and Blessed with a Curse really surprised me. The band have just progressed loads since their first two albums. I'm hoping they can keep up the momentum with the new album.

[Lewis Cato]

I listened to it for the first time today; I respect that it's a good album and I can see that they have some esoteric influences however I can't really get past the angst and find it a lot more rewarding just to listen to the bands that they're influenced by, however their next album does look very promising and that may change my view.

[Andre91]

I always hated BMTH. Their first couple of albums were really not my thing, metalcore or whatever its called. But then I heard Anthem & Blessed With A Curse and liked their newer sound. Their last album was decent, I'll have to listen to the new song could see them playing the main again.

On a separate note, I'd like to see Smut Peddlers on the Lock Up.

[Mouseboy11]

Yeah I really like their newest album and the new song and I don't have much interest for metalcore at all really!

[Andre91]

In 2011 when they did Anthem, and their banner dropped and the BMTH light up sign was behind it, that was awesome. Had a proper good jump around to them.

[Mouseboy11]

I hope they play because I really want to see them before Oli ruins his voice haha!

[Andre91]

Oli's voice has been shot for ages. He looks like he wants to burst into tears every time he's performing, gotta be in pain shouting like that.

[SOAD]

I think he is having an easier time since There is a Hell because the new guitarist has taken over a lot of the singing... Oli just sort of has to mainly march around the stage, shout at the crowd and bark a few lines of each song. It's a shame in a lot of ways as they're not as good sound wise live because of it. However, surprisingly I'm ok with it as it does add to their whole performance and generally he is a pretty good frontman.

[mrtourette]

not true. Best atmospheres I've seen at Reading have been Cancer Bats, Metallica, Limp Bizkit. Just pure fun, people going mental.

[DMCJ2]

Best atmosphere for me

2011: Pete Doherty, frank turner (both sets), vaccines, madness, pulp

2012: the hives, the courteeners, kasabian

[Andre91]

For the years I've been to Leeds, the top 3 atmospheres each time have been:

2010: Limp Bizkit, Paramore, Blink-182

2011: The Offspring, 30 Seconds To Mars, Rise Against

2012: The Courteeners, Foos, Kasabian.

Keep in mind I only went for the day in '10 & '11.

[Mouseboy11]

Bullet for my valentine had a quality atmosphere last year!

[dentalplan]

Hives in 04 for me. Need The Hives back every year.
