Lineup 2015

[sjseabass]

Yeah I was really disappointed at Reading but I put that down to the shit crowd and sound. They were great supporting Neil Young last year, I imagine they'd be phenomenal at their own headline gig, I've gotta be there next time they tour.

Think the consensus is very pro-National

[rivalschools.price]

I'd rather Bloc Party headline than Mumford...

Let's not get into listing who we would prefer to headline than Mumford,Ha ha.

[Hawky]

The National are trash live and were trash when they did Reading

The National were phenomenal at last years bbc 6 music festival.

They were excellent that night, best headliner I saw at any festival last year.

[lightning1000]

They're always great live. I just think Leeds was full of future baby Godzilla fans who don't know their arse from their elbow.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Doesn't help that their music is trash though

[Gucci Piggy]

That's nowt to do with how good they are live, though. Backtracking here.

[Yellow_Fellow]

I know I just wanted to clarify

[justanothername]

When I saw The National last year supporting Neil Young it was weird as I was impressed by their music but I just found them boring live but then again I like Pop Punk and Baby Godzilla so what do I know

Exactly.

[Hawky]

I love their music though.

Ye, same.

Sounds identical to my experience seeing Spiritualized playing before the the Libertines

With an act like The National it's probably gonna be boring if you don't know the songs. It's not like it's a fun experience, aside from the music.

It's like when we saw The Cure and half of the group were saying it was boring as shit because they had to watch 2.5 hours of songs they didn't know... They knew it was going to be a 2.5 hour set... They knew they didn't know any songs... What the fuck else were they expecting?

That's not aimed at you, JAN, just went on a tangent after making my point.

[DomDom1984]

I didn't know much Cure, but thought it sounded fantastic on TV. Ended up seeking out their stuff and am now right into them as a result.

Tbf when I saw The National, I had only heard their latest album- they were still top draw. One of the best headliners I've ever seen.

[Gucci Piggy]

Actually I enjoyed The National in 2011 and didn't know anything by them except Fake Empire.

[Matt42]

It's a very close friend of mine's birthday on the sunday of reading this year, they are going for the whole weekend with some people

Only acts i'm really bothered about (so far) on the sunday are Kendrick Lamar, Libertines, Jamie T and Refused and I doubt I can see all four of them.

Do I buy a day ticket or not ?!??!!?!?!?????

EDIT: and there's a high chance Jamie T will be at glasto so ???!?!?

Get a ticket, for that price. Remember I don't think you get into the campsite anymore though to join them drinking.

A day ticket is the cost a Libertines Hyde Park ticket last year, so for them it's worth it. Kendrick/Refused would be good experiences and regarding Jamie T if he does play Glasto because it's Glasto there will be something at the same time worth seeing. Sunday is the best day this year by some way this year I feel and if I can cough up the cash I may consider a Leeds tickets for the Friday

On this topic, what is the typical number of songs for bands 4th or 5th on the bill??? I'd love to see the Macc/Cribs but if they aren't doing that many songs I may just hold out for Manchester dates on their respective next tours.

[lightning1000]

Went to see chappie last night, fucking die Antwoord are in it.

10ish

[DGrant261]

10ish

Cheers. Fustrating that bands like The Maccabees and The Cribs are gonna be confined to 10 or so songs given the riches of material they have to choose from

[Gucci Piggy]

Who's doing double duty this year? The Cribs?

[Bisque]

Who's doing double duty this year? The Cribs?

Knowing R&L it'll be Enter Shikari.
