Alt-J have a keys player called Gus Unger-Hamilton, so your argument is invalid.

Plus they made a brilliant debut album.

[dancelittleliar]

Alt-J are great on record but they're not a good live band, at all

[giantwagon]

When I saw them live they were great.

[the wonderwhy]

I dislike the album (bar 2-3) songs. Its boring.

Its even more boring live.

[lharris92]

thing is with Alt-J they were booked to headline the NME during all the hype they were getting, and as far as I can tell the hype has died down a fair bit so that might bite them in the back later on before the festival - especially if they don't do something to regain that hype

[giantwagon]

I wouldn't say the hype is 'over' as such, it's just that the album's been out for a while and naturally people won't be raving about it as much as they were when it first came out. Same with any album pretty much.

[edgar]

So far:

Fri - Green day, SOAD, Deftones, Frank Turner

Sat - Eminem, Chase and Status

Sun - Editors, NIN, Biffy

But the only ones I'm dead set on are Frank, NIN, Deftones. Any of the others could be sacrified for decent lockup bands.

[the wonderwhy]

The odd thing about Alt-J is they're also headlining the 2nd stage at Latitude, which makes their booking even weaker.

I guess R&L gave them a high slot to keep V away.

[kev1664]

Green day

Soad

Deftones

Frank turner

Bmth

Twin atlantic

Biffy clyro

While she sleeps

The blackout

The problem with Alt-J is that instead of having worked hype up with consistent and well recieved releases, they put out an under the radar, relatively averagely criticised album. The hype they have is implied by the awards.

Jake Bugg is a talentless hack though, go back to the Sixth Form music night Bugg.

[robMUFC96]

I think Alt-J may be forced to release a new single if they want the hype to continue. Breezeblocks and Tesselate are my favourite songs of their's and theyre both quite boring

Jake Bugg can be alright, its just his hits that are shit. Listen to the ones that didn't quite get the hype that Two Fingers and Lightning Bolt did (like Seen it all and Broken) and you may be very surprised

[Yellow_Fellow]

Oh yeah should contribute. I dunno how clashes work so let's ignore them.

Green Day, SOAD, Deftones, Frank Turner, BMTH, A$AP Rocky, Major Lazer for Friday

Eminem, Chase & Status, Foals, Brand New, Tame Impala for Saturday

Biffy, Nine Inch Nails, Azealia Banks, Disclosure for Sunday

with Tomahawk at some point.

Starting to think I should prioritise Glasto

[Dead throne]

Strange how you posted that list but you were the main cause of tomahawks demise in the hurt/heal thread, I woulda thought they'd be right up your street.

[Asdaprice]

So far I wouldn't mind seeing pretty much all of main. Take into account pissing about and alot of bands still tbc, it's doing well. Certainly every evening is looking good bar eminem

[kaosmark2]

Deftones

SOAD

Editors

NIN

Yeah.... that's not worth paying for. Hoping for some interesting headliners opposite Green Day and Biffy. I'll probably watch the first hour or so of Biffy anyway, but I'd like someone to wander off to if I get bored.

[Com Truise]

[kaosmark2]

Not worth paying for for you,

if you already like all 3 of them,

And you've already got your value for money if you're into the top 6

If you see all of the acts on the main stage across the weekend,

I'd say it's worth the money if there are about 8ish bands you want to see at the minimum,

[Com Truise]

Exactly.

[kaosmark2]

Aye, it wasn't directed at you btw, but I've seen a fair few people who like say at least 8 still saying it isn't value for money. It's just taking the piss. Not only on here either, twitter, facebook, couple of my own mates. Just na, give over. Too many people moaning about how better other festivals are then, go to a different one then. All the moaning's just doing my head in!

[Com Truise]

I think on here, people do go elsewhere, but there's only really 3 festival subforums that get much traffic, so Reading regulars tend to lurk here and moan even if they're not going.

And if it's 8 small bands who are getting short sets it probably isn't. Particularly given the crowd may well not be up for it.

And seriously, why read about people's opinions on the web if you get annoyed by moaning!
