Lineup 2014

[Mouseboy11]

I'd really love to hear The Ballad Of Grimaldi, think that might be wishful thinking.

[Dead throne]

I dunno, I think that font is pretty spot on.

lel you got me there

[thewayiam]

Changed it a bit:

great job as usual but i'd go to this less than what we just had. another case of bands here and there. but bullet heading nme is a good shout as to be fair there is nothing they've done to move up. tdcc look busy writing a new album.

i'd look at FF opposite PJ, Disclosure opposite Arctics and Bullet opposite Paramore - i reckon gaslight, jew, nofx and airbourne fans would also cross with bullet or enough so

Miles Kane would probably be above Noah and the Whale.

When that's the only real complaint I can make, then I'd say you've done a fairly realistic job there.

[The Placid Casual]

Changed it a bit:

Clashing Chvrches and Jimmy Eat World would make you a villain

Noah and the Whale should really have played this year. Weren't at V and had a new album out. Strange that they weren't really.

[mrtourette]

Yeah I always thought that. Weren't at Glasto either were they? I think they did a couple of little festivals and their own run of gigs, odd that they didn't play any major festivals.

[dentalplan]

They were a later addition to Other Stage at Glasto. But yeah you're right about the rest of it. I suppose they're probably one of the bands that got shafted by the new booking of NME stage.

[DomDom1984]

They played the second stage at T as well. Pretty pish as well. I walked away after three songs.

[Chief Scout]

Wilderness festival had them on a UK festival exclusive

well thats what they claim, i know they played T and glasto, but in the line up poster thats what it says so thats why they didnt play R+L

[GuitarManDan15]

Course Pete would rather be in the libertines, a bigger pay packet to spend on drugs. He's a walking anti-drugs commercial but he's not stupid when it comes to getting crack money

[mrtourette]

I stand corrected, seems like they were around a bit more than I realised. But yeah odd that radio-friendly indie like them and Miles Kane didn't do either R&L or V.

The poster does show NATW above or was there one before?

No, he was saying Miles should be above NATW

I know, I saw his post and saw the poster and thought he was saying they should be above him when they were already.

[Tobieski]

He was saying miles should be above them! Not that NATW should be above Miles

[dentalplan]

I keep wanting to say Placebo won't play third down, but they probably held just as little relevance to the R+L crowd when they were booked for third in 2009.

[DomDom1984]

Placebo aren't quite the festival draw they have been in the past. I'd say third from the top would be a good slot for them. An hour to throw out a good set.

[sjseabass]

Of the many things that baffle me about your logic, gazza, the top is your obsession with Calvin Harris suddenly being a likely Reading and Leeds subheadliner.

[Andre91]

I can't see Calvin getting booked. He has nowhere near the same kind of crossover appeal that Chase & Status do. C&S have a band play with them live, Calvin Harris is just a press play and stand there kind of act.

Though I reckon Jack and Calvin could be swapped around.

Paramore would be the worst possible headliner for next year.

Calvin Harris would be the worst possible sub for next year (although he won't play).

You Me At Six would be the worst possible 3rd placed act for next year.

Bastille would be the worst possible 4th placed act for net year.

That Friday should be banished from existence.

[Chief Scout]

Paramore, Calvin Harris, You me at six and Bastille would go down in history as the worst top 4 that reading and Leeds has ever seen.
