Lineup 2015

[lightning1000]

Just the headliners on BBC3 I think. And shortened sets at that

[thewayiam]

You don't see any Oasis resemblance? For real?

 

 

Haha I don't think I'd seen that one, can't deny to similarities though.

 

Wasn't Gazza adamant that they weren't big enough to sub fests this year lol

 

If you're on about Alt-J, I thought it was too high yes, echoed in their other UK festival bookings. R&L got shafted on that one but then Glasto done themselves a bit on Rudimental Other headline so wings n all.

 

First year since 2006 that I haven't been to Reading, I have to admit I'm feeling a bit sad despite the shit weather and shit lineup. Does TV coverage still happen for this? I have no idea. /old

 

Don't watch on tv, that's how I get by. You'll feel a bit shitty 1st time but after the weekend you won't think twice.

Missing it for first time since 91, other stuffs got in the way

Of course one headliner/stage/day will be heavier, by the virtue that not all acts are exactly as heavy as each other. That's what makes claiming a 'heavy day' as a thing so fucking stupid.

 

The point isn't that there isn't a day that is heavier than the other two (like I said, of course there is, although it's open to personal interpretation), but that there isn't a pre-determined 'heavy day' like 'metal Sunday' at Reading that so many people think did/does exist.

Whichever way you look at it, Saturday at Reading wouldn't look out of place at Download Festival.

Yeah I was a bit gutted when the weekend came round last year, but this year I couldn't care less and didn't actually realise it was this week until someone asked if I wanted to go with them on Friday. Probably helps that none of my friends are going this year but they all went last year, though.

[Matt42]

kinda gutted i'm not there tbh

Yeah it defo helps that you're not missing it while others are there. For me it's some of the bands I would see but I think for the actual fest I've just grown out of it. I like a bit of sleep at night etc and just lost a bit of the enjoyment there.

I will point out though now I've seen the tour, it's more a half arena/half smaller venue tour. 3 of the dates don't reach above 7.5k.

[Jacksamthompson]

anyone got any idea if theres a charity gig going on tonight (cant remember the name of the god damn tent) ?

[thewayiam]

I've left a post in the UK Festivals Itunes thread if anyone could reply with an answer that would be great. Cheers

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

There's coverage on the red button in the evenings as well the BBC 4 shows.

True, but not really relevant.

[#FreeComTruise]

Gutted I'm not going for at least the Metallica day, but couldn't get it off work

[rivalschools.price]

Right! Time to get my beauty sleep,ready to head to festival 9am tomorrow.

Have a great time all

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Looks like they did replace Mastodon on the Pit Stage bill after all.

Got offered a last minute half price day ticket for Leeds today yesterday evening, so heading down from Scotland for my first English festival. Pretty excited as I've only done TITP, Rockness and Belladrum to date.

Any wee tips for a Leeds first timer?

Refused tonight. Yes.

[cragzy]

[cragzy]

I knew I'd seen Rory C around

Also Drenges crowd was fucking vile

[Gucci Piggy]

£45 Sunday tickets on Gumtree. Real tempted. If Mastodon and RTJ were still there I'd definitely grab one.
