Lineup 2015

[roughbloke]

I just saw on Twitter that Bastille are confirmed as England/Wales exclusive but are headlining boardmasters.....eh.

Also, Royal blood confirmed as exclusive as well. Take that with a pinch of salt.

Royal Blood are are unavailable for pretty much every other fest they'd do, so I imagine that one will hold out.

Yeah, there's a link to Monday's press release earlier in the thread. Royal Blood are 'UK Summer festival exclsuives'.

The Flaming Lips playing Victorious festival in Portsmouth same weekend as Reading, would love to see them there, later on in the tent

It's another dance act but Basement Jaxx could play it also

[mrtourette]

Unlikely.

[the wonderwhy]

I doubt Flaming Lips will pop up.

The Fratellis, on the other hand...

[mrtourette]

Texas?

I fucking hate convoluted exclusive babble.

[lightning1000]

I still smile at pulps north England fest exclusive

[mrtourette]

I fucking hate convoluted exclusive babble.

I hate it when people actually think it means something.

Coldplay at Glastonbury, Mumfords, Bastille, Catfish at Reading (and not balanced by any good bookings), and now Flaming Lips playing my hometown while I'm gonna be at Reading. Worst week of festival news ever. Only saving grace will be if I can convince my dad to go to Green Man with me, cos that would be ace. Otherwise, wall-to-wall shite

[kaosmark2]

Why are you going to Reading if you don't like the lineup?

[dentalplan]

Sack off Reading and go to Victorious with Dad.

His Dad wants to go.

[nickybu]

Catfish aren't listed on the Line up on eFests

[Tobieski]

Catfish aren't listed on the Line up on eFests

They're definitely playing

[sjseabass]

Why are you going to Reading if you don't like the lineup?

Because my friend has never been to a festival before, never seen Metallica before despite being a massive fan, and I said I'd go with him. Plus I do really want to see Refused.

Annoyingly Flaming Lips and Metallica are both Saturday, or I'd genuinely have been tempted to sack off Reading for the evening and go to Victorious for an hour or two.

EDIT: I realise in my previous post it might've seemed like I was saying I don't like anything that's been announced for Reading. I meant this specific announcement was bad for me, because the only decent stuff in it was Royal Blood and Wolf Alice, both of which were a. really bloody obvious and b. bands I've seen multiple times recently already. The first announcement was great, I was happy to say yes and get a ticket with my mate on the back of that. Just to clear that up .

Apparently Bastille and Royal Blood were confirmed as third on the radio yesterday, but Jamie T isn't confirmed.

And yeah. They've supposedly been offered an Other Stage heaine slot at Glastonbury which is as big a slot as subbing R&L.

Ah right that's not that bad then, we can hope that Jamie T is 4th/NME rather than 3rd.

I wouldn't read into that too much TBH, as Glastonbury often have acts in weird places (like how they wanted Metallica to headline the other stage last year). And at the end of the day Alt-J are still playing Academies (the bigger ones granted) at the end of the day, their newest album hasn't exactly set the world alight, and before the ridiculousness of last year when was the last time we had an act sub that hadn't had an arena tour behind them?

2013?

[DomDom1984]

I was thinking much the same thing, unless you're counting the Jane's Addiction thing, which I'd dispute.

[dentalplan]

Chase + Status toured with Jane's Addiction?

[sjseabass]

Is it at the end of the day Alt-J are playing academies? Just checking

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah even ignoring the Glastonbury thing I think alt-J will sub.

[Seanoooo]

Anyone else like to have lorde, think her albums really good.

Her album is cracking but not quite sure where she would play
