This is the first time since my first Leeds/Reading in 2003 that the main stage has had pretty much all of the bands I want to see. Of the top 15 acts on main, I'm planning on seeing 12 of them - which is a massive shift from previous years where I've rarely spent much time there at all. I definitely think this is a big push from FR to try and attract more of the "traditional" sort of Reading goer, what with Sonisphere not being around. To do that they've then had to go for more of the newer stuff for the R1/NME stage to still have appeal to the teenaged crowd (obviously generalising massively there).

It's not quite chorus effect, but simply rapping over the original track being played back, so there's effectively two vocal tracks at once, which is why it sounds like the chorus effect is being used. It's something that's been quite common in live Hip-Hop shows for years. If you watch videos of Public Enemy or N.W.A. from the 80s the chorus sounding effect is there as well.

But I agree, don't know where people get this idea that Eminem mimes.

Here we go, just found this, if Foals aren't in your top 10 now, go and see them at R/L and they definitely will be afterwards. This blew any set I saw at Leeds last year out of the water, on par with Foo's for me, obviously I'm a big Foals fan though, but I went with a couple of mates who weren't really big fans, and they were blown away.

Go and see them at R/L they fucking deserve that spot :D

Sunday at Leeds is going to be an absolute bitch for clashes.. I could easily stay at either the nme tent or the main stage for the full day and not move!

For me personally it is a great line up so many bands on there that have been on my to see list for a while!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
