Lineup 2015

[tyranicide]

I wasn't saying that as they subbed download they'll headline reading, I just misunderstood chavmeisterdeluxe's point and though he was saying they won't sub as they played download last year and showed how r+l don't care about that. I didn't realise he specifically meant sub to linkin park

[Tobieski]

Well ooo-la-de-da

[ClemFandango97]

Regarding the Smashing Pumpkins, I really can't see them being booked. Unfortunate as it is, Reading just seems to be moving in a different direction now. Queens were brilliant last year but their crowd was small. Smashing Pumpkins are similar in the sense that they aren't shoved in the faces of teenagers today on MTV, Radio 1 etc. and as a result it might mean a lot of money is spent on booking an act that the general audience isn't so interested in.

Small for a headliner just to clarify

[the wonderwhy]

That man is just the best.

[Bisque]

The Cure had somgs in The Inbetweeners though...

[Yellow_Fellow]

run the jewels will be on NME, i am 90% sure

[dentalplan]

That sounds like something that wouldn't happen.

[the wonderwhy]

The Soni lot told him when they got him drunk the other night.

[Yellow_Fellow]

That sounds like something that wouldn't happen.

if the current trend of HIP HIP HOP on the NME is anything to go by

[jump]

'Do a Pixies'? They've never headlined T, and they've never headlined the second stage at R&L.

I was going to post the same thing but I think they meant headline a festival (R&L) and then move onto headlining the 2nd stage (T) at festival in general rather than those specific two.

[justanothername]

Rise Against we're great last night so I'd happily have them back next year also I wasn't keen on Emily's Army, just didn't see the appeal (and I could hear what they were saying most of the time)

[Andre91]

It saddens me that they never play Paper Wings anymore.

Yeah sorry I had a few G&Ts &'didn't word it properly.

Going back to the earlier discussion about festivals around R+L; it seems that FR (and partners) are moving the Berlin Festival to May to make way for a Berlin edition of Lollapalooza in September. If it's anything like its American counterparts then that should be good for the pool of acts R+L can get. Not really very interesting news but it might become so.

[Gucci Piggy]

This could be even more essential than Lolla Chile in working out who's playing!

Definitely be good for R&L in terms of how many bands will be nearby. Is this Berlin Lola definitely set in stone?

It hasn't got like a website or tickets or anything one would consider official yet, I don't believe, but it seems like it's going that way and Melvin said something alluding to a big European festival that FR would be involved with not long ago. It could easily be the case that they just use the name and it's nothing like the size or array of top acts though. Kinda like Rock in Rio in Portugal.

[Noeliam]

Muse announced in Germany for a festival at the end of May. Can they come back in Europe mid-august? (Sziget, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, R&L, Rock en Seine...)?

They're from Europe anyway so it's not really a problem

EDIT- oh he might live in America now idk. Muse Will will know

[Gucci Piggy]

I think he lives in America now, yeah. Probably do those new, fancy late-Summer American fests. Glastonbury or DL here I guess. Maybe IOW.

[TheSilence]

Probably rules out Metallica for R&L too.

[dentalplan]

I like how Muse is a 'he' now.
