2013 Lineup

[the wonderwhy]

What I wouldnt give for glastos second stage at leeds.

[mrtourette]

Shitty headliners across the board (Portishead and maybe Public Enemy are the only headliners of any stage that I'd be interested in), but good stuff spread throughout the rest of the line-up. A lot of crap, but a lot of good.

John Peel is a much better comparison, and I'd definitely take that over NME.

[Asdaprice]

Remember as well that that's the majority of the glasto lineup right there. Reading still has so much to announce, including little surprises I'm sure to knock some of the names lower down the bill. Give it time.....

[Com Truise]

Do you know what they have to offer?

Glasto still has loads to announce.

I don't think it's amazing as people are making it out to be, a lot of those band are all over the European circuit this year there isn't really anything that stands out too much.

Looking at twitter right now, I'm thinking how shit it would now be to see Arctic Monkeys live. So many over the top fangirls, why can't they just get on with it and enjoy the music? Instead the ins and outs of their life revolve around Arctic Monkeys, fuck sake. I think if I saw them live, I'd end up getting into a fight with so many of these faggots.

Also, that Morrissey background, I wish people would realise it's fake

Its all personal opinion though isnt it? There acts I would watch on all stages rather than say leeds for example where it would be 1.

For my tastes main stage at leeds is better and the rest of glastonbury is better, like I said thats my personal taste.

[dancelittleliar]

Yeah loads of tiny folk bands

I just get the feeling if Reading announced that, a lot of people would be criticizing it.

Though no UK festivals have really grabbed me this summer, mostly it's the same undercard on a loop - End of the Road is the one that stands out so far, for me.

[Com Truise]

Some of their fans really do annoy me, they act like it's the end of the world if they're not playing. I'm a fan, but I'd have been disappointed if they were announced for Reading this year. Some of their fans should really extend their music taste beyond the NME.

[mrtourette]

The more I look at it the less appealing it is, but that's probably because all of the V Festival shit keeps jumping out at me. There are certainly 10 bands there (the Hives, Dinosaur Jr, Portishead, Nick Cave, Primal Scream, First Aid Kit, Pumpkins, Palma Violets, Tim Burgess, Savages) that I would go out of my way to see. Certainly more than Reading at this stage.

Also justice is served as it looks like Editors are playing above The Lumineers

[SOAD]

Glasto lineup is awesome but I prefer Reading but that is primarily because it has my three fave bands as well as NIN (none of these are at Glasto)

[Chinaski_]

Correct on both accounts there, glastonbury always has that soft spot with many people who are agoing and who have been before. I know its cliche but the music is only half the story at glastonbury.

End of the road is stunning, only festival im going to this summer that im excited about.

[Asdaprice]

Not really, still acts to be announced for the main stages plus a load of Dance stuff too.

And loads of smaller stages yes.

[Com Truise]

Obviously reading has an element of this, but like someone else said, it is more jus about seeing (better in my opinion) bands and drinking with your mates.

[thetime]

Yeah, End of the Road is the only one making me want to go so far. I'm pretty much ready to give up on UK festivals and just do European ones.

[the wonderwhy]

That's because Glastonbury is a music festival whereas Reading is just a gig in a field.

[Chinaski_]

Doing rock werchter/sziget and maybe pukkelpop if I ditch leeds.

BIggest year for festivals for 10 year for me this year...I think I will rob a bank lol.
