I dont get why the suggestions are to have it like the R&L of old?

FR have said the festival is going in a new direction with a new demographic so this is really the best we could of hoped for.

Id love to see the suggestions next year when the festival continues on its road to the Radio1 market by copying the V line up. People will pray for this years lineup then

Well I would keep Friday the same except have Alt-J subbing to Skrillex

Saturday I would take out Chase & Status and Brand New and slot Bloc Party and Placebo above Foals and move them and White Lies down. Brand New replace Alt-J as NME headliner for more appropriate alternative to Eminem.

Sunday I would swap Editors and Lumineers and stick Billy Talent under Lumineers and move Hadouken! down a couple slots. Then I would have Chase & Status and Phoenix co headline NME.

One way to fix Reading would be to reopen the old way into the site from the town.

Changes 3-4 years ago, added an extra 20 minutes or so into the walk in, which is most annoying.

Hopefully the new site layout will address this, as forcing punters to walk an extra 20 mins, to allow just for a guest entrance is taking the piss, just funnel everyone else up the side

That's a stronger and more consistent looking Main Stage right there.

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
