2013 Lineup

[Hucksy]

Green Day

System

Tenacious D

Still don't think Green Day will be there but would suit me down to the bone, as long as they don't play too much of the new shite

[the wonderwhy]

Your being a bit silly there matt, im no fan of paramore but its music. No problem tenacious d playing but they should be in the comedy tent like the rest of them.

If I want comedy I will go to a comedy club/tent, if I want music I will go to a gig/festival. Who wants to go and see a band and smile anyway?

[thetime]

Sarcasm

They're too big for the comedy tent, so they play on the main stage. I don't see the problem.

[the wonderwhy]

Are they a high mainstage act because of there music to a target audience or because there so funny?

[thetime]

I'm assuming they're a high main stage act because, like everyone else who plays in the same position as them, they're popular.

[the wonderwhy]

Your not answering my question though, I wouldnt disagree there popular for some strange reason.

[thetime]

Target audience then. I don't think them being funny has much to do with their placing.

Green Day were added the other day.

Ten D are a band that make comedy songs. When the Spinal Tap guys got together and toured were they music gigs or comedy routines? Bill Bailey (an example of a comedian who has played a music stage at another festival) is a stand up who incorporates songs into his routine. Tim Minchin is probably somewhere between the two and consequently has played alternative/comedy stages and music stages. Ten D don't do non-musical stand-up, Bill Bailey does. They're a band who play music.

EDIT: I think I may have been drunk when I posted this as it reads like the ramblings of a drugged horse.

Basically Ten D may make comedic songs but they're a band that makes music, not a comedian who writes songs as part of his/her routine, therefore they belong on a music stage.

They were really good in 2008, a very surprising treat.

Any chance of seeing britains best live band at Reading? Of course, that is coldplay!

Think I would kill myself if I were forced to watch them

Who does everyone think would be the biggest (semi-realistic) curveball R&L could pull with the third headliner? RHCP despite 2007? Green Day despite their Emirates gig? Coldplay despite their poppiness? Noel Gallagher despite his lower status? Mumford despite their Canadian gig? Spector despite their lower status? Jimi Hendrix despite the fact he's dead? Hitler despite the fact he's not a musician?
