What's to say that they haven't agreed a sub headline this year with an agreement to definitely headline in 2015 on the back of the new album package and allowing them to headline / play other festivals this year, making them more money this year.

[dentalplan]

we don't even know they'll be around defo by 2015 and with the next record being techno based! Since when has reading had a techno based headliner?

Take biffy for example, large suggestion they are headlining reading, yet if T have got them its on a lower scale.

[thewayiam]

It's not going to be actual techno, it'll probably be about as techno as Muse or maybe Radiohead.

I'm not sure if I heard this correctly, it may have been hypothetical, but weren't Mumfords asking for a fair bit for their fee? I suppose it's possible V and R+L couldn't agree anything with them.

[Role Model]

That new Biffy clyro song is unbelievably bad, are they trying to be an even more boring KOL? Awful stuff, hopefully if they headline they bomb just as badly as KOL and they disappear for awhile.

In fairness thou, if v and reading couldn't? What chance would glasto have? It all makes anything but headline a bit unrealistic

[dentalplan]

which one? black chandelier?

at least they haven't sold out like KOL

[Yellow_Fellow]

Black Chandelier is like KOL? Jesus Christ hahahahaha ha I haven't laughed like that in a while. And no, Biffy've not sold out.

[Role Model]

MOR rock music all sounds the same to me these days to be honest, bit unfair to lump them in with KOL, but it's not far off in my mind. Don't really see the difference, apart from KOL stuff seems to have a more widespread appeal.

I thought it was Matt Cardle till someone told me otherwise

[Gingo]

Black chandelier is one of the heaviest biffy songs in a while

[lightning1000]

I guess I really underestimated vampire weekends size. Last time they played they were 4th and I thought theyve gotten smaller since then.

[kev1664]

You can't say a band sold out because somebody covered their song.

In fact anyone can re-release a cover song without the permission of the parent artist.
