Lineup 2015

[mrtourette]

Rivermead lol, dreadful venue.

[mrtourette]

Just thinking of these top 10 albums

I wouldn't waste your time.

It's only a small venue (for a headline sized act) though right? I think headlining IOW is gonna have more of a say in whether they do R+L than that.

True but they've since had a number one album (potentially two I can't remember the dates), headlined Glastonbury, played Victoria Park and had an arena tour pretty much sell out within a day. They're just as big as draw as pretty much all the headliners they've had, bar The Stones.

I don't think R&L would have them back so soon, even with a new album. It's needlessly repetitive when there are a whole bunch of acts they could book who would serve the same audience and didn't headline three years ago.

Good points but it still means BST getting Kasabian over V or IOW, which may as well mean V and IOW didn't bother trying to get them.

[Hawky]

Guess who is back?

(Its me)

[dentalplan]

Where's kemosabe?

[Hawky]

Lethal Bizzle's new song is awful.

[Hawky]

Not really been reading this, this year.

Metallica, decent booking. Not seen them yet- should be decent.

Hoping for:

RHCP and/ or Nick Cave.

Huge contrast in quality.

[TheSilence]

Yeah, I hear Nick Cave sucks live

[Gucci Piggy]

Nick Cave at R&L. Brilliant.

[Matt42]

Imagine stagger lee to an R&L crowd... christ.

Don't think there would be much of a crowd anyway

Just imagining the top knot indie kids staring at the stage in pure fear.

They'd all be watching Die Antwoord on the NME.

[Yellow_Fellow]

rightly fucking so

[Gucci Piggy]

Watching Die Antwoord over Nick Cave is certainly not doing things rightly.

[Bisque]

I'd be at Duke Dumont playing last on NME

[19liam75]

If i told you I knew The Libertines are 100% are at Glastonbury what would you all say?

[dentalplan]

"How?"

[Bisque]

If i told you I knew The Libertines are 100% are at Glastonbury what would you all say?

I'd say "11 posts... was it the bass player that told you?"

[justanothername]

Did a friends uncle's mate has a cousin who knows someone at the pub who has a sister who has a mate who has a cousin twice removed who works with someone who has a mum that knows someone at the local Tesco that works for Glastonbury festival in the site management department tell you?

here we go haha

[19liam75]

carl barats sister told me

[Matt42]

They wouldn't headline glastonbury, so if you're right (which i'm very skeptical about) they've probably accepted a lower slot than reading would give them.

How do you figure they wouldn't headline Glastonbury/would headline R+L? I imagine, if true, they weren't offered R+L headline in the first place and were able to do lower slots. And if they were headlining at one and subbing at the other it'd be Glastonbury where they topped the bill.

Quite plausible anyway. Cheers for bringing it to our attention Liam.
