I'm still hanging on to the slim chance that Ben folds five will headline

I do think there will be an announcement next week after download and rockness, not that I can see any acts playing both, maybe refused somewhere but no one else. Tenacious d a not so strong possibility for the main.

WU LYF, Anna Calvi, DZ Deathrays and Dog Is Dead would all be great additions for me.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich just posted Couple of big festivals to announce next week.......... (BFLHQ)

Could imagine he's a likely participant of the FR stage, so that'd correlate with a Monday announcement.

This may be quite Naive... but Refused? Not likely but they aren't huge. I guess there is no logical place for them though with lock-up on fri and sun and atd-i on sat. I just want them to play so badly

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't know anything about them, but Grizzly Bear just announced tour dates starting on 28th August. From this am I right to assume they'll most likely be playing?

[mrtourette]

They are playing EOTR so that might explain why they're over at that time, but I still think it's pretty safe to assume that they'll be high up in the FR tent.

[Calzum]

Guillemots?

INobody knows but I think the general consensus on t'internet is that it could well be next Monday

[mrtourette]

Sadly even though they are in Europe the week before Leeds they have announced some more dates in Canada for the weekend of R & L so its a definite no go, they were free for the weekend up to about a month ago so it would appear that R & L either did not try or thought they were too expensive.

next Tuesday for the announcement.

Reading Festival

News just in – Festival Republic Stage announcement coming your way next Tuesday. BOOM.

[mrtourette]

Going by most of the previous few years it should be announced on tuesday. Pretty sure it's been announced on the 2nd or 3rd tuesday of June for 3 or 4 of the past 5 years.

WOOP............So patterns do work out to be true sometimes?!

[MJMilz14]

I can also confirm the headliners to be... nah, haha, wasn't expecting that, even though I was, if that makes sense. No? Oh well.

[TeddyPicker]

Jake Bugg's just self confirmed on his twitter. Good, upcoming singer/songwriter. I'd recommend checking out some of his stuff

[Vieuphoria]

I don't think they've been mentioned yet, but i'd really love for Battles to play.

[pablopablo]

Do we reckon Sleigh Bells are too big?

I'd also like Ghostpoet.

Never heard of them.
