she bangs the drums Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 It would appear to me that Leeds have a 'mystery guest' slot on the lock up stage......... 'Mongol Horde' have been added/sneaked onto the yellow poster for the Friday Night lock up stage, I cannot find anything for a band under this name so based on an early post with someone saying a friend had been told this person would be playing at Leeds (which I cannot find at the moment) I think this will be Frank Turner, he was born in Bahrain so the name Mongol? could be related to that and Horde is a political term. Please note that this is not listed on the Reading poster. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Good spot but if it is Frankie T then I would imagine he'd rather play just Reading than Leeds as it's closer to him so my guess would be a Northen act, fairly big to needing to be hidden.

mrtourette Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) It's the right day so could this be the once-mooted NOFX appearance? Edited July 24, 2012 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieuphoria Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 yeah that's what I was thinking. If it was NoFX. And it was only leeds that got it... then fuck this festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she bangs the drums Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Good points re: NoFX, Reading had a special guest appearance from them in 2010 on the Lock Up Stage whilst Leeds got nothing so Leeds are due something on stage like this. Me and my friends stood and watched the whole of My Chemical Romance last year as we had heard that Brian May had made a guest appearance at Reading, we got nothing. No doubt Foo Fighters will have some special guest at Reading with nothing at Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 One of you cool kids that are on the Reading facebook/twitter account get on and ask them if this new Leeds addition are playing Reading as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she bangs the drums Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Maybe its Foo Fighter related? I know they played a secret set at V Festival a few years back in the afternoon under the name '606'.

astroman123 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 This is interesting. Maybe it is a secret set by a well known band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ^I wouldn't take it as them just yet, considering they've only got 54 followers on twitter (I know it's not an accurate indicator of a band's size) they seem way too small to be 4th from bottom and when Gallows played as The Rats people found an old punk band and started saying it was them. It also wouldn't account for whey they are on the poster but not on the line up/profiles and why they aren't playing Reading. On the other hand the 1st person to follow them on twitter was Frank Turner so a new side project from him maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah that's a possibility, I think that's what the OP meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dip Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Looking at their twitter followers it's very likely that it is indeed the new hardcore project from Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 In theory - unless something has changed - FT can't play at Leeds on Friday, as he has a headlining set in Devon that night. strike that. i'm getting my weeks mixed up.

jump Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 There's a few tweets between Mongol & Frankie T where they are talking to each other saying it's good seeing each the other day etc, so it probably means Frank's not the frontman/in control of the twitter account or it's a band Frank knows.
