Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah it's pretty standard to be hammered at a gig. It's nice if you're staying over afterwards and tie it in with a night out.

I was pretty out of it at Editors last year, and it was fucking brilliant. Spent the gig quite far back with a load of couples, dancing like an absolute arse.

[Gucci Piggy]

Also don't read The National/Nick Cave threads in the Glasto section. No one in there remembers any gig they go to.

[Guest]

Quite a lot of my mates like Courteeners, I'm the only one in my circle who doesn't like them which I'd be fine with if they didn't say they are one of the best Indie bands but when I say Arcade Fire they tell me they're shit and so is my music taste

My aforementioned sister's tied favourite bands are Courteeners and Arcade Fire, utterly bizarre. None of my friends like Courteeners, I make a point not to socialise with their fans, it's served me well so far.

[Bisque]

I've had a bit to drink at gigs before but she told me she could barely remember any of Foals when she saw them, which I don't get but it is her ticket and if she has fun who am I judge

Ahh in that case. Been to see a few bands at festivals where I've overdrunk deliberately (Dizzee Rascal at Reading) & accidently (Dizzee Rascal at Bestival) but not at gigs.

I was completely munted for Chromeo / Magnetic Man / Pendulum / Skrillex but managed to remember it all, nearly.

[The Placid Casual]

I don't really see The Courteeners selling out Heaton Park as a surprise. I'd go if I had some spare cash

Wanna hang out?

Only selling 20,000 tickets for a venue that can hold 76,000 doesn't really count though does it?

[Matt42]

I still can't name a single song they've done... I don't know any of their stuff. I must be really really out of the loop..

They can only sell 20,000 tickets on that specific night, it works for courtaneers and the venue.

Bit of a no brainer.

I know I've heard a few of their songs, can't remember them for the life of me.

[kurtwba]

Caught Coasts lastnight they really suprised me they were great live the crowd was awesome too, would be a nice addition to low NME stage or mid/high FR stage next year.

[Matt42]

Id like to think them headlining NME this year means they will be elsewhere next year but you never know...

Didn't you call them 'turgid shit' yesterday? And you don't know any of their songs?

[rawaudioinput]

I remember watching footage of The Courteeners at Isle of Wight Festival in 2011 and Liam Fray sang so out of tune he sounded like weebl

[nickybu]

What are the chances of Death Cab For Cutie playing at Reading this year since they're supposed to be releasing a new album in 2015. I'm aware they don't usually play UK festivals, but that alone would sell me a ticket (even though I'll probably go anyways because Refused.)

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

If they play a UK festival it'd be Reading and Leeds I'd imagine, having played it before but I don't see them playing.

Did you just reference Weebl and Bob? If you did I think you might be my favourite efester.

what does this even mean

[justanothername]

what does this even mean

It means that he hasn't listened to them but he knows they're shit as his sources tell him so

[tyranicide]

I expect Frank Iero will be at R+L next year, he was on Dan P Carters show saying how he's just finished the tour over here, is touring the states and in talks to cone back over here for festivals next year.

It wouldnt surprise me if he was at reading, I expect he'd be early/mid NME or 4th/5th on the pit

From what I've heard from his new band it is not that bad, prefer it to Gerard's stuff anyway, but I don't see him playing that high on the Pit just yet

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Saw him Wednesday night, musically alright didn't think much of the vocals.

[mrtourette]

That must mean they're actually pretty good.

[tyranicide]

The Blackout are splitting up so they won't be there next year

[Tobieski]

What fantastic news
