jonodillieono Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Cheers. First time at Leeds this year. At least it's better than T in the Park. The only way to get the set times for that are by buying a lanyard when you get there. Not released anywhere else. They used to release them all on about the Monday before the festival, I remember being able to print clashfinders out on Monday night/Tuesday morning Yeah lots of festival do that money making tactic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 They're giving the times out free on the official app so it seems odd that they're still mugging people for £10 or whatever for a lanyard. Either way, you won't need a lanyard. Either pick up a Kerrang for cheaper or if you're bringing a smartphone you can (if on iOS) check the official app or (if not on iOS) check the clashfinders updated by people who aren't going with official times. If you're not taking your smartphone out and about with you then jot the main bits down or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thing will be wether Kerrang have full stage times or just the bands they feature. The thing I don't like about the whole stage a day thing is if you ask them why they do it like that they act as if it's such a painstaking task to type everyone's time in.

Semprini Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just back from Pukkelpop in Belgium, which has a fair amount of overlap with R&L (over 30 bands and DJs). Of the ones I saw, Rebel Sound, The Maccabees, Hudson Mohawke, Frank Carter, Wilkinson, Manchester Orchestra, Radkey and Craze were all excellent. Probably the maddest show I caught all weekend though was H09909. If you find yourself at a loose end on Saturday afternoon then give them a look in The Pit, you won't be disappointed.

charley Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Times that have been released are on the Android app too not just ios. Back when I first went (92) the programme was the only way to get the times. No lanyard, just a couple of pull out pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 As the alternative stage is first listed on the app I'm hoping it means they're doing all of them now, if not then why choose that stage? Really random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why do Mumfords have two hours? Usually 2+ hour slots go to bands of the calibre of Metallica, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Muse, Radiohead, etc. Bands that have been massive for years.

Bands usually only do that after they've been going that long because they've grown comfortable in doing that and if Mumfords think that way after six years or whatever then fair fucks to them.

DarthSaul Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mumford and sons on alllll their shows lately have had a guest or two on (just someone already on the lineup) and covered one of their songs. They've covered blink 182 with mark hoppus and an offspring song all fairly recently so maybe that will happen with someone down that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure why you have such an obsession with the fact that once upon a time I said that there is usually a day at Reading and Leeds that leans towards heavier bands. Genuinely puzzling. I don't think I've ever described it as "metal day", or said that it's always on the Sunday at Reading.

Genuinely puzzling. I don't think I've ever described it as "metal day", or said that it's always on the Sunday at Reading. What's puzzling is your inability to accept the festival isn't what it used to be - the 'two hours for the main headliner' rule is just as outdated as the 'heavier day' concept. And to answer your question, it's about as preposterously non-committal as you can get with regards to something (the 'heavy-ness' of acts) that can never be proven or quantified anyway. It's a daft, meaningless comment. Edited August 25, 2015 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
