thewayiam Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Haha.....is someone actually trying to defend the R&L lineup against a Glasto lineup with a 10% portion announced, bloody hell lol. The fact of the matter is, if you are disappointed just from that if you were going Glasto....then you dont understand Glasto, most of us are happy to just have a ticket ans anything extra is bonus, whereas the days of being excited to have a R/L ticket are long gone.

devilman Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 4 hours ago, eFestivals said: it's only a tiny bit of the line-up tho. The gems are normally not the headline stuff, and hopefully this year will be no different. But the 3 headliners? Not my bag (tho they never are), but 3 of the biggest acts in the world? They might be a bit on the dull side, but they're still impressive. No issue with the headliners. Muse are awesome, Coldplay are ok if you're in the mood but not a festival band for me. Adele is a mighty fine singer but holy shit I wish she'd sing something not about being dumped. Also not festival fare for me but there is no arguing all of their popularity. It's everything else that just says meh to me. I'll go one day to see what the rest of it is about. R/L is also a bit meh this year but I'll likely end up going because fuck it, 6 festivals in a summer isn't enough and you're a long time dead.

oneoftherest Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Glastonbury not diverse enough? It's got a Syrian Orchestra, if that's not diverse I don't know what is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, for me anyway the top of the bill is fine for Reading, and is about the only exciting part of the lineup that they are giving two acts the chance to headline. Who gives a shit where else they might be playing. Its the amount of shite it has the rest of the days that which is the main reason I doubt I'm going bother to go.

oneoftherest Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 It'd be nice to see Courtney Barnett too but idk if she's very R+L, seems more suited to Latitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyChorizo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 i wonder if father John Misty would fit in anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyChorizo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 also foals were literally the first name put under the headliners for glasto in the the new poster so i think that confirms that they are R&L headline worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the vast majority of R&L goers outside of this forum/those who have a similar investment in music wouldn't have an absolute clue who he is.

VinylDelusion Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Dunno if anyone's mentioned this but Tame Impala are playing an American festival on R/L weekend, so they're ruled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow_Fellow Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 ffs that festival nulls a lot of my R&L fixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conroy17 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Pyramid headliners aside Glasto have smashed it LCD, Kamasi, Sigur Ros, Floating Points & Grimes to name a few. I'd love to have seen R&L book a few of those slightly more leftfield acts- reckon if they put enough of them in there they'd shift the audience demographic and manage to pull it off (Lana Del Rey & LCD co-headliner anyone???). Still find it madness that T in the Park have LCD and John Grant and that Tame Impala (so far) aren't anywhere to be seen in the UK this summer- I know they're unable to play R&L this year but to have had them on an exclusive perhaps subbing Foals/Disclosure would've been a far greater coup than the mediocre booking of Chvrches (I've come to terms with the idea that they'll be subbing now). Anyway, done rambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyChorizo Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 just wondering, who do people think was the better guitarist, Navarro or frusciante? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gozpot Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Should be due another announcement soon. Had one more or less once a month since December and the last was the March 1st, so surely in the next couple of weeks, especially with festival season fast approaching.
