dentalplan Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I thought they'd get 1hr30 though and they'd take the rest of the time off of the likes of Vampire Weekend, who do look like they're subbing now with that set length. Only 10 mins longer for Queens than when they subbed in 2010; glad I didn't get duped into going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes got that time and they were a co-headliner! 'get over it'... as he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd downvote me. Same goes for Paramore; 10 mins longer. Practically co-subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance whatsoever of Better Living/I Appear Missing now too unless they want to use up like 15% of their set on one song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumvirate Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd downvote me. Same goes for Paramore; 10 mins longer. Practically co-subs. It's co-subs with one playing in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It is kind of a bummer as both them and Paramore definitely deserve a proper headline length set, but QotSA will still be awesome even without I Appear Missing. Should've just gotten rid of shitty Hacktivist but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyranicide Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Personally I prefer both getting 75 than just one getting 90, even though it means some of the bands on main that day get slightly shorter sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I more bothered that they kept telling us that they'd get 90 mins each Also Shikari getting 40 mins is less than I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Either Jon or Melvin did say 90 mins each shortly after it was announced. I'm guessing they just couldn't make it work even though whoever created the clashfinder could.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Did they, or did we just suggest that? Wasn't Melvin saying that it was the first proper co headliners as they'd be getting 90 mins (I'm not too sure about that). But they did say a few times on social media that they would be both getting 90 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawaudioinput Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 If I'm honest I reckon Queens will just over run and do a 90 minute set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobieski Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 That is a pathetic set length for a supposed headliner. Also, looking at the map, has the dance tent at reading suddenly become a lot bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Yes.It's the official times, there isn't going to be a great deal of variation. What's tends to be wrong a lot of the time is how we interpret them. Edited August 18, 2014 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 If I'm honest I reckon Queens will just over run and do a 90 minute set Yeah there's always that option for any band if they're that bothered by the time they get allocated.

rawaudioinput Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well they did 17 songs at Lowlands which was meant to be a 75 minute set and apparently over ran by 10 minutes at Coachella, so it seems like something they'd do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
