Lineup 2015

[kev1664]

I believe I did, you were camped white near a fence if my memory runs right.

Yep that's right. Who was the scottish guy who always wore red, used to post a lot on here round those times.

[Smally]

Can't remember off top of my head, used to go TITP & Glasto. Pretty sure he met his other half on here too think she was called Rachel.

[the wonderwhy]

Portishead goddammit.

Anyway it doesn't matter if a band has a woman in or not. Its not about WHO is making the music really, is it? I hate when people make a point of a band being 'all female' or 'female fronted' or whatever as if girls making rock music is weird or something.

It does suck they don't get the same support from fests and more shots at top positions as their male counterparts, though.

Oh I'll give you that one.

And yes it was Rex!

[#FreeComTruise]

Also Gwen Stefani.

[Bisque]

I tripped so bad during Portishead I had to go see Chic to feel good again.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I really do not see the hype

Oh I forgot St, Vincent

As well as Adele, Grace Jones, Sia, Anna Calvi and Mary J Blige. Oh and if you're including Ellie Goulding you should probably include Gaga, Beyonce, Madonna, La Roux, Dolly Parton and Charlie XCX too. Then as you're including bands that are partly female but not totally, you could add London Grammar and Goldfrapp amongst others. The list is frankly endless and the line 'but there aren't many female acts to book' doesn't cut it.

'but there aren't many female acts to book'

Not when compared to Male acts.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Gossip were banging

[normalperson]

I think that's a bit unfair, there is a much larger portion of male bands than female

EDIT: how exciting 100 posts, am I allowed to take part in all your weird in jokes yet?

Nope, nobody's kidding themselves that Reading were expected to book a 50/50 split, but only nine out of 60-odd is obscene.

[DUNCANM99]

whos censored? fill me in?

[rivalschools.price]

Quite happy in general, especially since it's been confirmed that Metallica and Mastodon aren't clashing.

Ash are always good, Limp Bizkit are my guilty pleasure, Cancer Bats will be great earlier on in the pit.Royal Blood seem to follow me around but been good each time.

And of course, Refused!

[justanothername]

Surprised Yellow hasn't mention Rolo Tomassi yet

[Andre91]

Why are BBK headlining the DANCE STAGE? I thought that was what the 1Xtra tent was for.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Surprised Yellow hasn't mention Rolo Tomassi yet

I'm too distraught

[Hawky]

Expect A LOT OF MOVEMENT on both main and NME.

Plus Tyler and Kendrick won't clash. Libertines and Tyler will overlap.

I hope to some extent you're true.

I'm seeing them at Takedown so I'm slightly helped by that

[thedean]

The special guest is obviously nick cave.

[JSmurphy]

Have avoided this forum all day so missed the afternoon / announcement posts, can anyone run down what went down? Can't hack reading through the last 50 pages. What was the general reaction (personally I thought it was great)? Biggest surprise / surprise slot?

Late to the party but thought it was a cracking announcement personally. Enough for me to warrant a weekend ticket wanting to catch Metallica, libs, bmth, Jamie T, the maccabees, the cribs, limp bizkit, ash, slaves, darlia, all time low, panic! At the disco, royal blood.

Unfortunately have my cousins wedding the Saturday, my question I to do just a day or two or full weekend and miss the wedding...

[19liam75]
