[sammylee]

It's 11:30 at reading, 11:00 at Leeds. Different curfews

On my phone so can't do that, just type clashfinder reading 2013 in google.

Sunday night lock up at Leeds looks great.

Interesting the clashfinder has Knife Party finishing at half 6, reckon they're doing the earlier set at Reading then?

[Duw13]

The NME seems eerily small, 9,8,8 compared to last year's 11,10,11 (The 10 had Green Day beforehand too).

Considering the acts have smaller back-catalogues this year, surely this doesn't mean they'll be getting longer sets, and there should be more acts added? Not necessarily big ones, though the absences of the likes of Everything Everything and Miles Kane are glaring.

[Gucci Piggy]

I reckon there'll be a few more low NME bands, including Savages.

[sammylee]

Yeah, seems strange that there won't be bands on until 2 on NME

[Com Truise]

Question: has Miles Kane been announced for any other UK festivals?

[Dead throne]

No slayer?

[Martino231]

Not necessarily, I think they may have held back a couple of biggies for mike to announce.

[the wonderwhy]

Glastonbury, T, HRC & Boardmasters

(for Miles Kane)

Suppose he could possibly slot in below Editors, but I don't see any reason for him not be announced yet. Unless he's got tour tickets to sell? Not sure what he's up at the moment.

Albeit a pretty intimate tour though; London date (Dingwalls) sold out in a few minutes.

I think we're just all in shock at how awful the line up is. More bands I want to see on the Festival Republic than Main and NME combined. Know it's just me, but can't think of any year when that's been the case. Just ridiculous

The FR is good with Chrvches, Drenge, Swim Deep, The 1975, Splashhh, Lucy Rose, BSP, The Family Rain, Parquet Courts, Pure Love & Spector, but they're exactly the type of bands which I'd rather see with longer sets at a smaller fest or their own show

[foolee]

I actually think this year is a triumph, despite NME being pretty shite. but this has it's advantages with the main stage being so strong with the likes of SOAD, Green Day, BMTH, NIN, Biffy, White Lies, Blackout, Brandnew (who I have just listen to for the first time and have no idea why i have never before...). Most of which are some of my favourite bands!

With Fidlar, Cerebral Ballzy, Drenge, Tame Impala also on the bill it makes for a pretty good year for me.

Has anyone done an updated clashfinder?

[rawaudioinput]

Looking now if it wasn't for System I could get a day ticket for Sunday and be pretty happy. I was hoping for some bigger names on the Dance stage like Madeon and Netsky but obviously with having to book so many extra acts it seems as though they couldn't afford them. Lock Up is okay, albeit again smaller it seems. Festival Republic has pretty weak headliners but a reasonably good undercard; although all the bands I'd like to see are probably clashing with bands on Main/NME at the same time. The Rock stage is a neat idea; there are some great bands on there but again I reckon I'll have some bad clashes (ASIWYFA/NIN) where Main/NME will win out. The lower half of main stage just looks like a cost-cutting exercise.

In conclusion I think adding so many new stages has diluted the line-up by some degree.

And a clashfinder is here:

I can't believe im saying this, but V looks more appealing to me
