Lineup 2014

[Bisque]

Are people still really up for & excited for Reading/Leeds this year? People seem (apart from a few on here) to have given up on it

[tyranicide]

Future seems like a great closing song and I dont know why they don't close with it all the time.

[#FreeComTruise]

Why do you think that?

I'm getting a real sense of Deja Vu every time you post

[dentalplan]

Are you?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Are you?

at the moment no actually so if anyone wants to sell me a ticket hit me up

[mrtourette]

What an odd statement, it has sold out after all.

I'm excited because I'm going.

I don't imagine people who aren't going are very excited.

[the wonderwhy]

Proof is the best song on the new album.

The clashfinder has Nero playing 90 minutes? Not even headliners play that long so they definitely won't.

That's because Bombay are finishing before Arctics start. Therefore at the moment I've just assumed they'll play for as long as possible seeing as they'll have all that time, but yeah they might have a big gap or finish the stage early.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I think it'll more just be Bombay play til bang on when Arctics start, they like to make these changes to accommodate people but don't like to factor in walking from stage to stage.

ATDI and Jane's Addiction were both given 90 minutes weren't they? Maybe ATDI had 75. But yeah it's unlikely Nero will get 90.

Yup, and i'm gonna have a great weekend.

[sjseabass]

The Rolling Stones

Bob Dylan

Elvis Presley

The Who

The Kinks

The Beach Boys

Sex Pistols

Discuss.

Search Reading fest on Twitter and you'll see that several people are really excited. You may not like them, hell neither do I, but they're still excited Reading goers.

If this happens someone's gonna get hurt.

Even my deluded mates wouldn't be able to agree with this

[sjseabass]

My £0.02 worth, knowing the NME:

On the list, should be on the list:

David Bowie

The Velvet Underground

Joy Division

New Order

Will be on the list, you could make an argument for them at a push but they shouldn't really:

Oasis

The Strokes

Should under no circumstances be on the list but this is the NME so they will be:

Arctic Monkeys

I'm getting more excited. I mean, it's basically all bands I've seen before apart from some tiny ones, but there are bands I like a lot on all day Friday and Saturday. QotSA and BBC I'm pretty hyped for,

The Sunday is shite, though.

Arctic Monkeys

All three of the bands have influenced a lot of other bands though...

[sjseabass]

Sure, but it'll be stupid for Oasis to be in there and the Beatles not given how half of the former's stuff basically rips off the latter.

Stupid enough for the NME to do it.

I did put the 'you could make an argument for them at a push' proviso in there to cover my back . Arctics is a step too far imo though.

I think it seems that way because on here people usually stop posting in this section when they stop going, but the current crop seem to never want to leave, and most newcomers (rightfully) get frightened away whenever they read these threads, so it's ended up with a load of people who don't like the lineup and won't go.

Is it not current bands then?

[the wonderwhy]

Arctics is a step too far imo though.

Why? Like it not they've had a huge influence on music in this country and, to NME's readers, will be just as influential as a lot of the bands you listed as not being included

[TenInchToenaiIs]

will be on the list:

The Libertines

[#FreeComTruise]

Are we taking bets on whether AM are number 1 then?

Name some bands they've influenced.
