Lineup 2014

[Com Truise]

At least we have to get 2 decent up-and-comings every year.

Er

[thetime]

Just seen the bands announced, makes download seem stellar.

Reconsidering that QOTSA and Paramore were the surley the next up-and-comings Reading had to deal with it, I actually think this 'co-headliner' thing is a good move. At least we have to get 2 decent up-and-comings every year. Actually, next year would be perfect too only if Blink-182 were not booked.

Arctic Monkeys - Queens of the Stone Age & Paramore - Truly legendary band

It would be much better to give both a proper headline slot one year after the other.

No it makes it seem like Sonisphere picked the right time to come back

But there are just so many up-and-comings you know

Foals, Vaccines, Black Keys, Florence, Vampire...

Especially if your over 40 and on a zimmer.

[TheSilence]

Its a shame that i'd rather have had

KOL

AM

The Killers

Than what we seem to have for next year. I'll be relying on Fat Boy Slim or Deadmau5 to keep me going and i will PRAY that Prodigy or Pendulum play too.

Especially if you don't like pop-punk or whatever the fuck Linkin Park are meant to be

[Asdaprice]

He just thinks of us as one, seeing as Yellow is my boyfriend

My SINCERE apologies. I honestly thought yellow made the blog. Either way, it was all shit

Bullet NME vs Arctic monkeys at reading if they aren't doing a soni headline.

Bullet are far too big to headline NME these days, they want to push on to become headliner at Download in upcoming years, Copping had a absolute fit that System had agreed to sub Green Day at Reading last year saying its ruined their chances of headlining Download again, he's been grooming Bullet for years I can't see them accepting anything other than sub at Reading, they know it would be career suicide

Yeah Sonisphere's 2014 line up is so far amazing

It would be even better if the last headliner is Sabbath..

Different types of bands with different circumstances though. I get what the difference is between Blink and SOAD (although I'd say in terms of nostalgia reunion acts more shows decreases pulling power). Their last album didn't even register to me as existing so I'm presuming the new one has got a lot of press power behind it to refocus people onto Blink by the time their headline set comes round. I'm not saying they won't be headline size by then, but my arguments against them headlining weren't just founded off personal preference which is what you initially accused me of.

No I was accusing your hatred of affecting your fair judgement. They left nostalgia/reunion act status once they recorded and toured again. It's not like they decreased in size, they just stayed the same, and because they headlined in 2010 they weren't going to drop down the bill when they are still playing the same sized venues.

They are by no way the size of muse, Foo's, Arctic's and I agree it's a little early to recycle but to outright disregard totally in the way you did was half hatred and half the belief of it being too early.

Out of interest do you know any other information besides headline acts regarding R&L?

Bullet for my valentine gig sold very bad tonight though lucky, I would say no more than 2/3 thirds full.

Seating wise I would say quarter full.

My SINCERE apologies. I honestly thought yellow made the blog. Either way, it was all shit

He did......?

[Asdaprice]

Both blink and soad played on reunion hype, blink headlining for being the 1st and SOAD probably could have of they didn't headline download the year before.

But yes blink have new music, like green day did. Music that no one will want to hear.

IT'S IN MY SIGNATURE. JESUS

And still, I've constantly said - I'm not the one saying this. Other people are. I just collate information.

I give up. I'm confused.

[kaosmark2]

Copping had a absolute fit

Not a rare thing though

System had agreed to sub Green Day at Reading last year saying its ruined their chances of headlining Download again

I don't even agree with that. The problem SOAD have about headlining is they need a successful new album to push them up and there's no sign of that happening (Kev, this is why I think the Blink-SOAD size comparison is fair rather than irrationality due to hatred).

Your last two lines are gold.

I don't read sigs. And I sure as shit won't read your blog again either

Quite alright. So hang on, why are you so jumped up with me again?

[the wonderwhy]

I don't think you've grasped the difference between people putting out info/'leaking' stuff & people passing that info on yet...

[Gucci Piggy]

Right, I know the godlike/legendary/up-and-coming thing was obviously going to be complete shit, but who on earth told Yellow the headliners would be flashier and rockier? This set is the least flashy I could imagine, and certainly no more rocky than usual.

Ugh.

NIA was really empty at the back last week too, it always seems like that even when the show is sold out, every show there looks like you could have fit an extra couple of thousand in IMO.

And Bullet aren't really a sitting down type of band either, I'd expect the seating to be completely empty ha ha

You have to admit they're far too big for NME. Arena bands just don't play that stage anymore. When was the last arena band to play it?
