Set times out

[dentalplan]

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.

Quick, tourette will attack you with a downvote soon. Strokes got that time and they were a co-headliner! 'get over it'... as he says.

[dentalplan]

I'd downvote me.

Same goes for Paramore; 10 mins longer. Practically co-subs.

Yeah feeling very happy about not bothering with a day ticket now. 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

[Triumvirate]

It's co-subs with one playing in the dark

[the wonderwhy]

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.

That is actually a great shout. And Deaf Havana too.

[Gucci Piggy]

Aye I'm glad I didn't get a day ticket now.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Should've just had Blood Red Shoes play for 5 minutes, all their songs sound the same anyway

[rawaudioinput]

Queens of the Stone Age only have 5 more minutes than when they subbed Download last year

[tyranicide]

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

He's making a different point than you, you wally.

[justanothername]

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

[kaosmark2]

you wally.

Where's matt?

Did they, or did we just suggest that?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

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....

[rawaudioinput]

They did keep mentioning they'd get 90 minutes each

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

[rawaudioinput]

If I'm honest I reckon Queens will just over run and do a 90 minute set

I dunno, that's why I asked, I genuinely couldn't recall them ever saying it

[Tobieski]

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?

[Triumvirate]

Were Green Day down for 2 and a half hours last year?

[mrtourette]

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.

Yeah there's always that option for any band if they're that bothered by the time they get allocated.

[rawaudioinput]

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
