Was told some info by a friend that almost definitely rules out Florence + the Machine for R&L; they'll be elsewhere apparently

 

I wonder if my thought for them originally is going to come off?, although I'll admit the more time went on I couldn't decipher here or IOW but the former was my 1st thought, even before the Open'er date, it's defo highlighted a while back in here. I don't see it being V for some reason.

Florence and the Machine for V and T then.

 

I think T and IOW atm. The more so later Euro fests and end of this year UK Tour had me think a while back IOW was very possible. I think given how close Reading is to V that it would have been Reading they'd have chose.It's now fairly wide open, I think think Foo's will be one, I still don't think Foals will be. I'm a little stuck after that, Blur are a possible I guess.

If they did IOW does that dramatically reduce the chances of them doing R&L?

Yes mate, more than dramatically, it'll stop it as it'll be a headline show at whichever one and they don't share. The Prodigy have been an act to headline IOW and sub R&L before but they've always been a header at IOW since playing whereas they haven't at Reading. I've only put the last bit in before I'm asked why though I'd assume most known anyway.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • 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.
