Parkway Drive -> A Day To Remember on the NME

That would be immense. Although, on yesterday's That's Not Metal podcast, Beez said that Parkway are playing the Main Stage.

Dam! Oh well but they will be sick on the main (and gives me hope for the rest of the line up)

Hi everybody, is this real that this year the Reading's week-end and the Leed's reading are on the same days, 26 - 28 ?
Or is it every year the same thing ?

Thank you

It's on the bank holiday weekend every year. This year it is the 26th-28th yes.

Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff to headline

Jack U, Bloc Party & anyone's guess (got a feeling it'll be Shikari) for NME this year; no closing sets.

also did anyone else get an e-mail from bandsintown about Jamie T playing Thursday night at Leeds. I dismissed it as a mistake straight away, but an interesting mistake nevertheless.

[VinylDelusion]

I think Jack U will deffo headine NME. My ideal other headliners for NME stage would be Tame Impala and Weezer, but I think ADTR and The Vaccines are a more realistic bet.

[JSmurphy]

Jack Ü, Bloc Party and one of A Day to Remember, The Last Shadow Puppets, CHVRCHES, Enter Shikari for the third spot. I don't think it's been discussed yet but where can we see Oliver Heldens & Hannah Wants playing? They both probably could headline Dance Stage, but since we already know DJ EZ I don't see them revealing all three of them by now. Maybe an NME slot for one of them?

[conroy17]

I think DJ EZ, Hannah Wants & Oliver Heldens are all dance headliners= EZ or HW make a good alternative for Jack U, Heldens makes a good alternative for Disclosure and then you're left with either EZ or HW again who can still attract a crowd (admittedly made up of nobs) on their own.

[Nick Aldous]

I'm saying slaves SUB NME not headline. Subbing BBK could work and skepta will come out and do shutdown with them? BBK  could headline NME, I'd hate it but wouldnt be surprised with the way things are going

TLSP I imagine will be on main, can't see them being put in a tent with what will probably be two Ally Pally dates. I do actually think Shikari are telling the truth by not playing this year.

anyone who thinks foals are a weak headliner should look up two steps twice at glasto 2013

Made my day

[oneoftherest]

Shikari haven't played on this campaign, I highly doubt R+L would pass them up

Sum 41 been announced for Lowlands the week before, wouldn't be surprised to see them at Leeds. Ghost and Sleeping With Sirens also there. Just wondering who could be in the mix.

Hmm this does look quite ominous. Played quite high in 2014 and I suppose they'd be due a return having released an album in the interim.

[thewayiam]

Lolla South American events announced, given we have Jack U, TOP and EODM already, Tame Impala is likely to be the last one from that lot but beings they already have 3(technically including Primavera) trips to Europe this year, a 4th one may not happen.

[oneoftherest]

I hope SWS don't take up a high slot, they're so dire

Justin Bieber just been confirmed for V, guess he's out of the running for Reading.
