Lineup 2014

[Muppetmark]

People going to hyde park for jake bugg today then fucking off. >.<

[kemosabe]

100? But then i find it really hard to establish distences so im not a good source here

You can see really well there (or can see the massive screens)

[hamishrankin]

Although he's probably stupid enough I don't think he atually did.

alright, calm it, if you look back at the start people did, no need to go over the top

[mrtourette]

That's because the thread was started at the same time as the 2013 line-up one, so nobody knew the 2013 headliners when they were predicting Biffy and Green Day for 2014. Nobody predicted the same headliners two years in a row so I'm not sure why you'd make a point of claiming that you can't believe they did.

I can assure you that me and my friends will all be fucking off to Band Of Skulls while he's on! Can't wait

[evilduck]

Band of Skulls is my plan too. I reckon they will have a tiny little crowd though!

Going through the Reading clashfinder now and I've marked off 27 bands I want to see. That's not bad considering I thought the lineup was pretty sub-par initially.

well that makes more sense

[Gucci Piggy]

I really hope hamish just read the entire thread. They should use that as a torture method.

...while listening to the last three Muse albums.

[rafflesia]

No-one deserves that.

[normalperson]

I was going to crack that joke But cheers for the info! could the likes of superfood/happyness be announced or are they too big? I have no grasp on how large these bands are or how small introducing bands are

[Gucci Piggy]

At Glastonbury someone I was with said to me "I bet you're gutted you're sharing a tent, can't have a w*nk unless you tell him to fuck off".

I also met Spud during Seek and Destroy wahey.

[Yellow_Fellow]

So using Matt's clashfinder, how well is everyone distributed across stages?

I've got...

10 Main Stage

13 NME Stage

2 Dance Stage

4 Lockup/The Pit

2 Festival Republic

1 1Xtra Stage

So in total 32 Which is a pretty standard fare for me at the fest.

well crucially its BBC introducing, so any of the bands featured on either Huw Stevens or Jen and Allys show are the ones picked.

Very small bands normally

With or without predicted clashes?

[Yellow_Fellow]

... without, I guess

[kemosabe]

Right using matts Reading clashfinder (which is quite different to the Leeds one it has to be noted) interesting reponce for me... That Sunday is so shit.

Friday - 11 acts (5 M, 1 NME, 3 FR and 3 D)

Saturday - 12 acts (4 M, 5 NME, 1 FR, 1-1X & 1 D)

Sunday - 10 acts (5 NME, 1 FR, 4 D)

M - Main

NME - NME

FR - Festival Republic

D - Dance

1X - 1Xtra

[justanothername]

Just want to make sure as clashes alter it a bit

Friday - 23

Main - 9

NME - 6

Dance - 2

Lock Up - 2

Festival Republic - 3

1xtra - 1

Saturday - 26

Main - 7

NME - 10

Dance - 1

The Pit - 6

Festival Republic - 2

1xtra - 0

Sunday - 18

Main - 7

NME - 3

Dance - 1
Lock Up - 6

Festival Republic - 1

1xtra - 0

Total - 67

Even though there are more bands I want to see on the Saturday, still like the Friday the most due to the fact I prefer the bands on that day. But overall very good and I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure there will be a few more if a few stages open early I guess

[mattgimmeshelter]

surely we can't include clashes as we don't know the times yet

yes stage headliners will clash but you don't really know.

[JSmurphy]

Without considering any clashes:

Friday: 15 Acts (5 Main, 3 NME, 5 Dance Stage, 1 Lock Up, 0 FR, 1 1xtra)

Saturday: 12 Acts (5 Main, 3 NME, 3 Dance Stage, 1 The Pit, 0 FR, 0 1xtra)

Sunday: 15 Acts (5 Main, 6 NME, 3 Dance Stage, 1 Lock Up, 0 FR, 0 1xtra)

Total: 42

Main: 15

NME: 12

Dance Stage: 11

Lock Up / The Pit: 3

FR: 0

1xtra: 1
