Lineup 2015

[mrtourette]

Whilst I agree that there is no quantifiable definition of heaviness, surely no-one can dispute that Saturday has a lot more acts that appeal to fans of heavy music than Sunday.

You're right that it can't be proven, but I think it is generally accepted.

Therefore, you can have a 'heavy day'

 

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.

I expect there'll be a surprise set just after 2:20pm each day on the intro.

Bastille or Alt J on Friday,

Catfish ATB or Twin Atlantic on Saturday The Maccabees or Years and Years on Sunday would be my bets

[mrtourette]

It's disgusting that we fork out £220 for a fucking woeful excuse for a festival (admittedly with some great bands) and they still haven't had the decency to release all the set times the morning that most people are leaving to go. Oh, and yeah it is a thing, they have indeed removed Orange gate at Reading.

 

What do you expect? It's a major commercial festival struggling to maximise income in the face of free online information. Of course they're going to try and persuade you to buy a lanyard or download the app. Be grateful you get them at all, not like T and V.

[mrtourette]

I think it's more the fact that seasoned stadium sized bands get longer headline sets at festivals in general, not just Reading and Leeds.

 

And look the Metallica day this year, the Blink 182 day last year, the Green Day day the year before that. There's definitely a pattern.

 

It's not a pattern, it's inevitable. Of course there will naturally be a 'heavier day', but 'the heavy day' is not a thing, and neither is 'two hours to the biggest headliner'.

Seriously? I'm not going this year but in previous years me and my friends have used Orange gate loads to pop out to the Tesco/food stalls on the road. Why would they remove that gate? Guess that puts an end to grabbing crates of booze from the Tesco then?

So they clash with royal blood and pvris? My wife's going to love me when she finds out she's missing 2 of the 4 bands she wants to see

[Rose-Colored Boy]

How did you do that Zac?

Just picked up the staff handbook with everything in

Although it was printed before the bunch of drop outs in the last few days (I can now exclusively reveal there would've been a 20 minute clash between Kendrick and Tyler) so may still be slightly out.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Moose Blood are on at 3-3.30 meaning they entirely clash with Gaslight which is, I think,my only real clash.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

They start 25 minutes after PVRIS finish and 0 minutes after Royal Blood finish.
