Faithless' entire act clashes with R+L.

edit: and I just realised you might have meant it in a 'can't go because R+L' way. Apologies.

Yeah I just thought about that as I re-read it! Knew a couple on here were interested in seeing them but fingers crossed they'll do solo gigs this summer.

I think what people are saying is that they expect The Vaccines to be pushing towards an R&L headline slot by subbing this year, and the slots they've announced so far (and the number of them) don't really tie in with a band in that situation.

Nothing wrong with it, other than some will see it is a failure on their part and another thing to mock them about, but if it's a conscious decision to do this rather than pledging allegiance/exclusivity to FR while working their way up the R&L bill then that's their call.

Not directly to you, but.

Kendal Calling is a growing festival, and has added 10k extra people in 2 years.

The other headliners are pretty decent sized bands. Elbow have subbed, kaiser chiefs have subbed, although both could be said to be on a downward trajectory. I'm sure Snoop would probably sub at R&L also.

I don't see this as a downward step for the vaccines, more of a sidestep and a headline experience that could stand them in good stead for the future.

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think Snoop Dogg would sub but your point is still valid.

[samfeeley]

So do people think all time low will play next year?

[cragzy]

My shot at a fake poster.

Jamie t is headlining the nme stage

Bit late mate

Not confirmed at all

[justanothername]

Frank Turner headlined Kendall Calling in 2014 but he also did it with a load of other festival around the same capacity, still some people believe that he is on this way up

All Time Low

New album, not doing Slam Dunk, Hit The Deck or any of them, not confirmed on any UK festival yet, you gotta think they'd be playing Leeds fest?

The only problem is that they appear to be doing festivals in Europe in June rather than later in the year so they're a possibility but I doubt it

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

There was an interview in Kerrang with ATL's singer where he was banging on about how much he loves Reading and wants to climb up the bill so I wouldn't be surprised if they make a special trip over to play out of their schedule.

But nobody was talking about Frank headlining r&l.

I think it's more that people assumed they'd already surpassed the likes of Kendal and they've been taken aback by the fact they're nowhere near as big as some have been saying. They got overpushed to 3rd main before their second album dropped and Melvin said they were future headliners. But of course he would, it was setting up an austerity booking for the future and nothing more.

With a bit of luck they've packed it in

[kemosabe]

Don't take it personally, I'm sure it's a lovely festival.

Ah shite, everything I don't want from a festival on my own then!

Never been, never really appealed to me, just pointing out the fact that the festival is growing in size, and with that it'll be attracting bigger acts.

The way everyone is talking, it's as if the vaccines are playing a local working mens club and that's all they can sell.

I can't remember if it was on here or the glastonbury boards, can't find it to bump it up, but whoever had the supposed info on The Libertines your dates is looking good, Ibiza Rocks and Low Festival in Bendiorm(christ) both announced the last two days
