Brand New

[Com Truise]

I'm certain I read that "friends of Eminem had agreed to play" about the Brand New departure, or along those lines, but I can't find it ANYWHERE

edit: got it, that Jon guy tweeted it

They're not playing your festival are they?

Friends of Eminem'll be EarlWolf

[Com Truise]

You'd have thought they'd try & replace like-for-like, or at least similar...

[the wonderwhy]

Definitely though they should have put Uncle Acid there, although I'm glad EarlWolf is in that slot, because baar 1975/Chance the Rapper there isn't a bad clash, hope I can catch EarlWolf and at least one of the others, especially if another act slots into that 1xtra day and I think there's still a space on the FR stage that day

[Com Truise]

There's no way Uncle Acid are big enough for that slot, they were 4th down on the 3rd stage at Download

Yeah but The Lumineers have mainstream popularity. Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats probably aren't even big enough for the main stage, unless I'm totally misjudging them?

Edit: I agree though that replacing them with Earlwolf makes no sense.

Shit! First I find out Brand New have pulled out, then Earlwolf have replaced them, don't even know who they are, then I check the Reading website and see early entry has sold out! I didn't even know, or expect this to happen, none of us have got tickets yet.

[Com Truise]

My friend's just found out they're sold out too, I have no sympathy for him however because me and my other mate warned him the other week that they were almost sold out, and he's incredibly lazy

Earlwolf is Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler the Creator's act

[PDAD]

Gutted about Brand New, was looking forward to seeing them so much. If Earlwolf are playing there, i may give them a watch and they may be okay. But nothing on Brand New

[Buko]

I've always stuck up for R/L & tried to justify every booking they've ever made but.... replacing Brand New with Earlwolf? Really!?

I had no idea they would sell out at all, let alone it was close.

And I still don't know who Earlwolf are, I know its part of Odd Future but I don't know who they are!

Gutted they have had to pull out :-( they were in my top 4 to watch. N not happy with the replacement. Maybe Im just getting old but other than the headliners and some of the other main stage acts, there aren't that many big names :-(
