2013 Lineup

[kaosmark2]

What makesva gpod atmosphere for you?

[dentalplan]

Is it ending in April for sure? Has that been confirmed or is that all they've announced so far?

I can see Atoms for Peace being the sort of band that only play a select few shows here & there, certainly don't think they'll be whoring themselves out all over.

What are the chances of Mystery Jets playing? They were playing on the back of a new album last year but could they return this year, maybe third from top on the NME or headlining the FR?

[sammylee]

They've played every time they have a new album out, which is every other year. Wouldn't be massively surprised if they cropped up but a boost up the lineup is probably out of the question.

[dentalplan]

If they were to play, whereabouts do you think they would play?

[Bisque]

Mystery Jets were great last year.

Although by gf caught me hugging some young girl in the crowd when she was watching it on the telly.

I'm hoping Melvin had a word with Omar and Cedric from At the Drive-In last year and got The Mars Volta booked for 2013.

Where abouts do you think they would play? Sub NME?

mars volta subbing soundgarden in the tent would be the perfect option up against mumford

Just looking at biffy clyro tour date at Newcastle arena out of interest and there is only 5 seats(and tickets) left in the whole venue out of 11,000.

Then looked at Manchester arena and 480 seats of 20000.

AECC, SECC, BIC Bournemouth, Cardiff motorpoint are all already sold out.

Of all the arenas that can be checked on ticketmaster it seems its selling well. At least 66,000 gone from those mentioned.

I reckon it'll sell out soon, meaning no problem with the announcement day for R&L, if indeed they are playing.

The album is out on the 18th (I think) I would hope that all the reminding tickets sell out.

[jazz565]

They were, I wasn't a fan before I saw them at Reading but they blew me away. The crowd was fairly small but you could tell everyone there absolutely loved them! The highlight was Wake Up and the crowd all singing along, beautiful!

[mrtourette]

Dunno who said Foos had a dumb atmosphere (or implied to that effect). The chills I got when Exhausted started... nothing has come close to that before or after.

[mrtourette]

Is there a source for when Melvin said this? (not doubting you, I'm genuinely interested.)

Unfortunately it's a very lazy slur against a popular band that because they appeal to the masses their fans must be unimaginative cretinous sheep who don't understand 'proper' music and who are only there to jump up and down to the hits and can't appreciate an electric or chilling atmosphere.

[mrtourette]

Of course there's an element of truth, but element of truth doesn't instantly mean every fan is like that, just as a band being considered credible like The Cure (which was the initial comparison) doesn't instantly mean that every fan is into every song. There were plenty of people watching The Cure who were there for two or three songs only, just like there would have been for the Foos.

Editors strong rumour. I like that.
