2013 Lineup

[lightning1000]

I've seen greenday 9 times before over the years. Wasn't fussed about missing them because their show is pretty formulaic after you've seen it so much. Hey Ho, crowd on stage, toilets paper gun, water pistols, fancy dress for king for a day/shout etc. However there's some songs on dookie I've never heard live before which has gotten be insanely excited. Fod for one and chump for another. I don't mind skrillex on record and was curious more than anything as I've never seen him live. If greenday open with dookie then ill still go see him, if they save it till later ill watch all of greenday

Most of soads songs are under 3 mins so they'll probably play the same amount of songs if not more than nin.

[Areophobia]

Personally I think SOAD into Green Day is an excellent booking. Can't wait for it. On the other hand, I think it will be packed and could get quite dangerous for both.

[Com Truise]

*whispers* You've still got Deftones clashing with Quicksand.

[Com Truise]

Is no one else a little sad that soad aren't getting a longer set? I thought theyd get at least as long as NIN

While I'm still awake and we're edging closer to the fest, I'm gonna recommend Hacktivist.

[atomised]

I'll second that recommendation

[ashrichards]

Who's going to get the extra time that the pretty reckless had before they pulled out?

[Andre91]

Hacktivist are nuts live!

There aren't massive changes at Reading, dance stage remains in the same position while the Lock Up moves to the other side and looks like they've pushed the corners out slightly to accomodate the extra stages and the new entrance/exit.

Balls, posted that in the wrong thread.

[mrtourette]

I think not having a replacement band on the Friday is a cop-out. Two weeks is not enough time my arse.

Frank Turner has pulled his european gigs this weekend to have treatment on his back but says reading and Leeds will go ahead even if he plays in a wheelchair

[Com Truise]

V have managed to get Rev & the Makers in at short notice, to fill up a slot that had become available when Steve Angello, OCS and Scouting For Girls all moved a slot. They could easily get someone either on double duty who is on one of the other stages later on, or PABH who are doing the DJ set at Leeds, or any other small name who I'm sure would manage at two weeks notice. Or the lesser cop out of extending sets a bit. Just seems strange to have a massive gap

[SOAD]

Hmmm think Saturday night may go to the cinema for the first time... still not seen Star Trek and Zombieland is one of my fave films.

I remember when Carter USM headlined the Melody Maker tent in '95 Jimbob played in a wheelchair as he put his back out cleaning the bath a couple of weeks beforehand.

And yes I am acutely aware that the names Carter USM, Jimbob and Melody Maker probably don't mean anything to a young 'un like yourself

[trebor1892]

Christ, Melody Maker is a blast from the past!
