2013 Lineup

[Com Truise]

The R&L exclusive headliner precedent isn't enough to rule them out 100% because there's always the chance that this year they could go against it, no matter how unlikely it is. Nobody will know for sure until the announcements are made but like I said if you choose to ignore the obvious and concentrate on the 1% possibility then fair enough.

[PDAD]

Brings a question how many ac/dc albums do people own? How many nin albums do people own?

[The Placid Casual]

I knew the answer from you would be on the positive side, same with a very few other posters.

All the others are just on the bandwagon and probably dont own A single legal version of there albums.

[kaosmark2]

Booooo, biophillia was never going to work on a big outdoor stage..

[Com Truise]

I was 18 back in '07, hadn't bought NIN on release but had 10 CDs by them by the time I went to R+L (a couple copied off mates).

I've got ~1k CDs, ok, collected over the last 12 years, but about 900 of them I got for £5 or less. Just shop around, save your money, find indie CD stores that do cheap deals. It's really easy to cheaply acquire albums that have been out more than a year. I'm constantly playing catchup (hardly buy anything at release prices).

[2rare2die]

Own a few AC/DC but no NIN. Is there a problem with me buying a couple if they are announced?

[The Placid Casual]

Nope, in fact I'd recommend buying a couple even if they aren't announced...

[the wonderwhy]

The Cribs are TBC for Hard Rock Calling.

Now, I know someone said they were going on hiatus, but I'd love it if they were one of those acts Melvin was 'impressed by and would be inviting back' and they snuck on to the main stage.

Not disagreeing with that, but even the songs I knew and loved played in an encore sounded like dirge. I was so disappointed as I'd been wanting to see her for years. Hadn't been able to afford tickets when she'd last been in the UK.

1k CDs? Mad! I have about 30 and at times it feels too much

[kaosmark2]

Yeah that's what I'm currently doing, although right now all I have is £120 and I still have £150 of my Leeds ticket to pay

I might get a bunch off Amazon when I'm not in debt to festival republic, 1k CDs sounds incredible, I love having hard copies, don't see why if you're going to pay you'd pay for a digital one!

Well I cant disagree as I was not at bestival, although saw 4 gigs(3 manchester and pukkelpop) on the biophillia tour and have been brilliant each time.

Although I would say that.

Amazon's easy, you can just decide to spend a certain amount and search for albums until you've got a load of £3, 4, 5 ones totalling that, but it's nowhere near as good an experience as going into a CD store, spending about 40 minutes browsing and picking them out, trying to work out which you want more. In most you can usually listen to some via their CD player + headphones if you ask nicely. It's such a great experience. Tingle with excitement on the journey home as well.

That's Entertainment are awesome for CD's btw. Often have 2/3 for a tenner.

[Chinaski_]

Just a shame the actual proper record stores are going to the wall because if amazon and illegal downloads.

We have had that debate in discussion though.

[kaosmark2]

It's getting harder to find good independent record stores now though, all the ones round my way seem to be shutting. It really is a sad state of affairs.

[Andre91]

Brings a question how many ac/dc albums do people own? How many nin albums do people own?

[Muppetmark]

i gave up on buying cds due to the price, now just get my parents to pay for spotify premium :3

also how common is it for acts at latitude to do Reading?

[Mouseboy11]

Hope the last headliner is a big one otherwise my mates won't want to go, don't fancy it solo.

[kaosmark2]

Yeah it's a shame the high street stores are going under, as I prefer store browsing to buying online. I could see books stores being the next to go soon, with the rise of the Kindle and so on.

[PDAD]

I was lucky enough to have a friend who was giving away a load of old CDs when he was moving house a couple of years ago.

He gave me about 40, including the old Velvet Underground quine tapes. Fantastic stuff.
