Festival Republic Stage

[Tolnai Soma]

What calibre bands are playing this stage?

[Vieuphoria]

We don't know yet.

But it tends to be a mix of really new bands, cultish older bands and bookings that are slightly more out there.

[mrtourette]

Try having a look at some previous line-ups.

It's the stage I annually end up spending most time at.

[zahidf]

I'd be very surprised if Alabama Shake's weren't one of the headliners

For those who aren't a big fan of Justice or Foo Fighters, I guess it'd be a sensible booking for some form of indie/folkish band to headline that day?

Alabama Shakes is an obvious possibility

[Vieuphoria]

nahhh needs more Battles.

[evilduck]

nahhh needs more Battles.

[Vieuphoria]

You are correct.

[evilduck]

As long as they didn't clash with The Cure it would be great. I'm still kicking myself for missing their set at Glasto last year

[Vieuphoria]

Their set at Glasto was incredible. One fo the best shows i've ever seen. Didn't have a huge crowd but I think they'd be a perfect cult antidote for Foo's day.

Had a thought that Richard Hawley would be a great headliner though not entirely sure whether he's too big/small for that slot? Also, would love St. Vincent to play - saw both were on Jools Holland tonight and got me thinking.

[mrtourette]

Unfortunately Richard Hawley isn't the right type pf artist for R&L.

[gazza_20]

so maybe the subways, alabama shakes and battles?

[Vieuphoria]

Needs more Battl- Oh wait.

YES!

Kids In Glass Houses are playing a festival in the UK on the 31st. Seems likely they'll be a FR headliner.

[huntyyy]

Kids in glass houses seem to be playing every festival this year, does reading not fuss about FR headliners being viewable everywhere else?

[Gucci Piggy]

I hope they don't. I'd like to see KIGH, they decided not to play a gig I could go to on the last tour. But, there's no way I'm missing Foos, The Cure and At the Drive-In. Ah well, suppose even if they play it'll make no difference to me.

[VCK]

I reckon Dog Is Dead will play. Check 'em out, quite decent, saw them supporting (Viva) Brother last year.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Death Grips, The Men, Cloud Nothings, Bean On Toast, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Scroobius Pip, Fucked Up, The Menzingers, Atari Teenage Riot, Asian Dub Foundation, Billy Bragg, Screaming Females. any 2 of these would be a plus

[chriseede]

Wishlist:

St. Vincent

Death Grips

Alabama Shakes

Sleigh Bells

Sharon Van Etten

tUnE-yArDs

Niki & The Dove

Factory Floor

Jessie Ware

Toy

Some of the above would be great though some may possibly even be too alternative for the FR stage. I live on in hope.

[Calzum]

All im hoping is for Don Broco and Scroobius Pip
