Lineup 2014

[kaosmark2]

Last week someone told me they have the same music taste as me.

Their favourite band is The Enemy.

Aren't they right?

It was more crammed for Strokes in 11(?) than it was for KoL 09 for me

At Leeds it was a nightmare trying to get out of the main stage area before KOL to go and watch FNM, partly due to them shutting one of the ways out off and them not stewarding it properly, and partly due to the fact that most people there were going to see KOL. I'd say the tent was only about half full for FNM.

[mrtourette]

It wasn't even half full at Reading. KOL had a huge crowd, I walked past after FNM as they were just finishing off and it nearly reached to the food stalls at the back of the main stage area.

However covering a large area doesn't necessarily mean it was particluarly packed or busy I guess. Apart from Yellow and his contacts who knows how crammed it was or how many ribs got broken.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah I was inside the front barrier bit at Reading for The Strokes and had a fair bit of space around me. Kings I was quite far back and it was packed, had a teenage chavvy couple eating each others faces next to me for the entire 90 minutes which was just lovely.

Hi guys

Been away but starting to get excited about the festival not long now for me to find £200 for a ticket

[lightning1000]

Welcome back

[KingOfTheBeach]

I really hope you don't mean the band I think you mean.

My friend's sister's boyfriend is in a band called Native Braves. They're absolute arse, and a bunch of genuine c**ts. We went to see them at a fucking Sc**thorpe battle of the bands, they couldn't play their own songs and finished in the bottom three.

I bet they read this now and kill me.

Hahahaha, I know them all and totally agree.

[dentalplan]

But do you know ARTH?

[the wonderwhy]

Introducing stage announced tonight/tomorrow

[kemosabe]

Good! My favorite.stage. Hopefully the BBC wont let me down

[the wonderwhy]

I really, really hope Honeyblood are on there

[Babyquack]

I'm hoping for Tail Feather and Whales In Cubicles myself

[dentalplan]

Cowboy Mess have already self confirmed for it.

[lightning1000]

When are they announcing the main stage subs?

[Tobieski]

Coasts will be there. Can see them being pretty big in the future. They're also shit.

A tasty addition

[lightning1000]

Just got an email from v fest, first time I've seen this years line up. Excluding the comedy, there's only 75 acts on there.

Is that normal for V? Seems a right fucking rip off even if you like that sort of music.

[kemosabe]

Seems decent line up

[rawaudioinput]

With Alt-Fest looking to be cancelled, do people reckon R&L will nab any of the acts? I know it's not the same demographic at all but maybe they could get Manson like they got Mastodon after Soni cancelled

Not sure if it's normal, but it is only a two day festival so probably about right.

[kemosabe]

I have mebtioned her before but a really young singer/ song writer who was my ex's sisters mate is playing bbc introducing called Billy Marten... Amazing voice and might be worth a listen

Hope not, Manson is shite. So so bad live.

I don't think there's a spot left high enough for MM to play unfortunately.

When you and I met that lady promoting Alt-Fest at Camden Crawl Raw, I got the distinct impression they had real struggles promoting the event which had led to poor sales so I'm not surprised that it might not go ahead now.
