2013 Lineup

[dancelittleliar]

The Horrors have self-confirmed for the main stage according to some geezer on Twitter. 5th down I reckon.

[insideaway]

I think just because the majority of the people on here dislike them, they do not realise that for the punk/emo fans. Fall out boy were their beatles.

You will be surprised how many people I know nearly fainted when they found out fall out boy were in the UK playing reading. For many people, fall out boy will be their must see band of the whole weekend. They are massive and I think alot of people here try to not believe it.

[foolee]

If Jake Bugg is playing Saturday/ Sunday against Eminem, I can't see NIN, MBV, or any of the other heavy suggestions playing above him. Primal Scream anyone?

[Matt42]

I know this is a petty comparison, lets just have a look at youtube views.

Biffy Clyro - Sunday headliners. Most viewed video has 5million views

Fall out boy - (being argued to be at the lowest 4th down slot) - 21 Million views on one video.

Now try and tell me that they haven't got a strong following.

(Btw their vevo account was started two years ago)

Link? If we can have Horrors, Klaxons and SOAD on the same day, my girlfriend will have a fit.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Does that matter? I'm pretty sure a huge portion of those views are UK fans.

Look i'm not trying to degrade biffy as headliners, they deserve it. But maybe you should understand that Fall out boy are huge, and if they did play a big slot, I wouldn't be suprised.

But 4th down? you gotta be kidding me. Minimum 3rd, if not sub.

[Matt42]

Now check ticket/album sales. What people watch for free and what people are willing to spend money on!

However if youtube is we are deciding these things surely beiber, that annoying bint that sang that friday song are inline to headline festivals.

3rd i could just see but no way will they sub.

[sftiz]

FALL OUT BOY WILL NOT SUB HEADLINE, STOP. /END

Don't get me wrong i love FOB and there clearly is a lot of hype surrounding their reunion. Their new song is utter shite and it still made it to number 3 in the charts. For a guitar band in this day and age that is a huge achievement

However if they couldn't get above 4th in their heyday, how the hell could they justify 2nd now?? Would be so weak, i'm sorry but i cannot see them playing above 3rd

I'll happily be proven wrong tomorrow though if they do sub. I would enjoy it but i just don't see it being a strong booking at all

[Matt42]

they only appeal to this weird Tumblr teen demographic which Reading has shown absolutely no interest in catering to.

[Yellow_Fellow]

And who do MCR appeal to? Oh yes.

Melvin gave them a headline slot...

I hate MCR but there second album was huge. For a lil while they dominated video tv and the radio.

[Matt42]

The Pitchfork crowd. MCR have a wide, wide appeal and Na Na Na was the summer god damn anthem of that year.

Bastille to headline?

[jonodillieono]

I don't know if I class as a fan but I really really like them, Three Cheers is one of my favourite albums ever

It's a travesty that Bastille are doing so well, they're really shit.
