Lineup 2014

[DMCJ2]

I'd be thrilled with Vampire Weekend and Weezer both playing plus Marmaduke Duke so for me at least it's actually quite good

[thetime]

What do you think of this

Main Stage

Blink 182

Paramore

You Me At Six

Vampire Weekend

Ouch!!!

[justanothername]

Who do we think will headline the dance stage each night?

Nero will probably be one of them

[Gucci Piggy]

Nero and DJ Fresh. But I've never even heard of Wilkinson, so that could easily be he case for the other headliners I suppose.

[Com Truise]

I'd be kinda okay with that lineup but that friday mainstage would be the worst lineup of any Uk festival ever.

because Weezer and Vampire Weekend are so horrendous

[TheSilence]

Nero and DJ Fresh. But I've never even heard of Wilkinson, so that could easily be he case for the other headliners I suppose.

Is wilkinson definitely a dance stage headliner? Thought he/she/they/it was just playing it at an earlier time

[thetime]

because Weezer and Vampire Weekend are so horrendous

Vampire weekend are.

[TheSilence]

Unrelated but has anyone on this thread ever been to Paleo festival in Switzerland? My dad lives within a 5 minute drive from the festival so wondering if its worth looking at

[dentalplan]

No he's not. He hasn't been announced as one anyway.

[Muppetmark]

Well yeah I guess that's what makes us the minority. I've been going to reading since 2005, so years on I do care about which bands headline. But you're right, a lot of people there wouldn't have been to 2010 so for them they are fresh. Although I pity society if kids born in 1998/99 listen and love blink...

So many of my friends love blink, hell they are one of the most liked bands out of my facebook friends. its sad.

nah hes not a headliner

[the wonderwhy]

Vampire weekend are.

Modern Vampires was soooooo good.

Has anyone seen the cover art for Bombay's new album? Pretty sweet

[TheSilence]

I'd hazard a guess at DJ Fresh, Julio Bashmore and Nero for Dance Stage headliners, then.

[Muppetmark]

Modern Vampires was soooooo good.

Melvin on Blink-182 (According to BBC news)

"They are one of those perpetual teenager bands, they're brilliant," festival organiser Melvin Benn told Newsbeat. He said after their fourth time performing at Reading and Leeds, he knew he wanted them as future headliners. "

The excitement around them was immense, the audience was just huge, the performance was fantastic," he said.

"We said when they came off stage in 2010 that we wanted them back within five years. "It was one of them, where it was just about as easy as it gets to get it all sorted out."

I officially hate him.

Also about the next announcements.

The other two headliners have been booked according to Melvin Benn but we will have to wait until next year to find out who they are.

"I'd say the first week of February, we'll announce at least one more headliner and a few more bands and mid-March to go out with the rest of the bill."

Co-headliners hint?

Co-headliners hint?

No because they could announce two headliners in February and give out the rest of the bill in March.

It says 'the other two headliners' on the line above that too.

[Com Truise]

Brand New, Marmaduke Duke and Drenge, awful? And to think I thought you were cool...

[rafflesia]

Yeah but they announced the last headliner in March. I think they will follow the same pattern next year. And they clearly won't say we have three headliners left until the official announcement because they probably wanted to leave it as a surprise.

But this is my thoughts only if that co-headliners thing is true. You could be right about it.

The Black Keys are headlining Open'er Festival; possible sub under AM?

Don't think so. I hope so but that's just a huge booking.

The Black Keys are not sub-headliner-sized act anymore in worldwide even if they are less famous in UK.

Could be that they only want to announce the headliner at that point. Melvin would give us a proper tease about something like that

[Muppetmark]

Don't think so. I hope so but that's just a huge booking.

they are still a sub in the UK

It's a fair bit before R+L mate.

That's just not true.

[rafflesia]

You're right. But I'm saying that it would be an expensive booking for sub-headliner. They should have used that money for decent headliner other than Blink-182 if they were willing to pay for better festival.
