Lineup 2015

[Muppetmark]

Blur would be great, but it aint happening.

Surely another UK festival would get them before Reading. Why would they pick Reading?

Money.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Money.

But would reading even have them on their radar? / wish to offer them lots of money for a slot?

I thought IOW would be head over heels for them personally.

[rawaudioinput]

They seem to owe IOW a performance so if they play a fest I can see it being them

[Yellow_Fellow]

But would reading even have them on their radar?

That extremely obscure and unpopular band, Blur, are surely not on Reading's radar. I agree.

[kemosabe]

hate blur.

[Gucci Piggy]

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

[justanothername]

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

You'd have only posted this if you knew something about Rage Against The Machine playing in 2015.

Rage Against The Machine are confirmed

[dentalplan]

They seem to owe IOW a performance so if they play a fest I can see it being them

Why?

If they're even still together I don't see them doing anything next year. I think Coxon is working on another album and Damon seems to be doing fine. The album sessions were meant to be a disaster so new material wouldn't come easy either.

[kaosmark2]

I really don't think RATM playing would be that much better than Linkin Park playing. They're just as irrelevant now and they've done the gimmicky comeback already and confirmed they're too unimaginative to write a new album.

[foolee]

The only slight difference is that rage against the machine are fucking brilliant and linkin park are shit

[Andre91]

Plus RATM actually play live whereas Linkin Park mime...

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Plus Rage have had a Christmas number 1

[dentalplan]

There's way too much deference for a band that used to stand for something, coming back just to cash in. They shouldn't headline a festival here until they release something new.

[kaosmark2]

The only slight difference is that rage against the machine were fucking brilliant over 20 years ago and linkin park have always been shit

Well yeah.

[rawaudioinput]

Why?

If they're even still together I don't see them doing anything next year. I think Coxon is working on another album and Damon seems to be doing fine. The album sessions were meant to be a disaster so new material wouldn't come easy either.

I don't think they'll tour; it's just that if they do I reckon they'll do IOW

[the wonderwhy]

I really don't think RATM playing would be that much better than Linkin Park playing. They're just as irrelevant now and they've done the gimmicky comeback already and confirmed they're too unimaginative to write a new album.

Yeah I sorta agree. I wanna see them and I keep telling myself its because they are (were) such a fucking awesome band, but in truth I only want to see them to see Killing In The Name Of. Otherwise I'm good just enjoying them on record and not spoiling it with a rubbish show.

[foolee]

They might just want to cash in but I'd rather a band like them come and play for cash and still put an amazing show on than an overrated Mumford and sons with a new album

[dentalplan]

I don't think they'll tour; it's just that if they do I reckon they'll do IOW

No I mean why do they owe IOW a performance?

[kaosmark2]

Yeah I sorta agree. I wanna see them and I keep telling myself its because they are (were) such a fucking awesome band, but in truth I only want to see them to see Killing In The Name Of. Otherwise I'm good just enjoying them on record and not spoiling it with a rubbish show.

Thing is, I'd watch and probably enjoy them, but I've been feeling since 2007 that they've just been pissing on their legacy and showing themselves to just be one-trick ponies. I expect seeing them live would just accentuate that.

[Muppetmark]

Blue owe t a performer don't they

[Gucci Piggy]

Blue

[dentalplan]

Why are Blur in debt to so many festivals? Do they take their fee and not play?

[Gucci Piggy]

Blur owe Glastonbury a performance.

[the wonderwhy]

Blur owe me a gig actually.

[kaosmark2]

Blur owe me a tenner.
