they are doing things in a weird way this year so maybe we might get some bigger names later on instead.

And why would they do that? Makes no sense. It happened last year but it was Alt-J and I presume it was to help with Latitude sales as they were headlining that

i don't see why not, although its unorthodox it could work marketing wise. the headline announcements will get pretty a pretty large amount of attention so long as they're not tiny bands as its reading and leeds, one of the most famous and historic festivals in the world. however the later announcements often have smaller bands and don't get the festival much attention in comparison but having some big(ish) names in a later announcement will no doubt cause more people to pay some attention to the festival.

"man" asked a fairly relevant question considering this is a reading and leeds forum and we haven't had stage splits yet.

Clearly very relevant, considering your answer to the question.

that was just a generous offering of a possible alternative name to call him based on how fucking crap fetty crap/wetty fap is

don't pretend this forum doesn't spiral off into huge tangents about the silliest bullshit anyway. just the other week we were talking about drunk will stories. and then ComTruise started talking in runescape Jargon the other day as well.

So I'm thinking next announcement is one  or two more biggish names, (for Sunday), and then a load of small acts. Let's talk who the bigger names could be, I'll start off:

catfish

TLSP 

 

i agree but not sure why it has to be sunday. maayyybeee catfish if we are very lucky but i don't think TLSP  will be there anymore. weezer instead of them makes more sense.

Can't see TLSP, Catfish maybe, Weezer maybe, unless Rivers really fucked with us.

Hoping for Twin Atlantic and either Sum 41 or The Offspring

omf. the offspring would be incredible, didn't even think about that. unlikely but imagine.

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
