Pendulum

Rob Swire did a Q&A not long back and pretty much admitted that he doesn't really want Pendulum to get back together and if they did, they probably wouldn't tour as a band.

That was a sad day

EDIT: Quote from the man himself;

"It’s been nearly 5 years since the last Pendulum album – even if we do release new material, it will most likely sound completely different, just because…well, people change, and get bored of things, etc. I have no real desire to make drum’n’bass anymore, I have no desire to fuse it with rock, and I sure as fuck don’t have any desire to tour with a live band."

Again guys, literally just passing on what I've been told. I'm on the case trying to find out the exact details, whilst putting together a project schedule for work haha.

If it's not solid info or he's just got it off one of the fakes I'll let everyone know asap.

Cheers lightning, however if there's no Weezer now, I'll be sending a poo in the mail ;)

Maybe Royal Blood have been bumped down. Because Weezer.

Not doubting Lightning here, but are Weezer really big enough to be 3rd down? I wouldn't put them at the same size as, say, Deftones these days. As much as I like their first couple albums I feel like they've dropped off the radar a little too much to be in that position. But that might just be poor booking rather than unrealistic predictions.

They are THE most requested band outside of headliners. Their 2010 set where they played 3rd down is the thing of legend. They are a comfortable 3rd main.

Maybe to us forumgoers, but to Reading's main fanbase? I'm not so sure. It'd be a great booking just in terms of exclusivity and rarity, but I just don't see it.

Here here! That was one of the surprises of the festival for me that year. Were still very good the year after at Soni. No way they would drop down to 4th.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
