Who does everyone realistically want to be announced on Thursday?

Good Charlotte, Pvris, Beartooth, Twin Atlantic, Mallory Knox, Hacktivist, Black Peak, Eliza And The Bear. Just a few of the names i'd like to see. Hopefully should see a few of them.

[VinylDelusion]

Would love to see Frank Turner there

[Gozpot]

I don't think they're legally allowed to call it Reading and Leeds Festival if Frank Turner isn't there in some capacity.

Bury Tomorrow, Beartooth and Architects.....Download is in June mate.

[oneoftherest]

I'd like Turnover, The Story So Far, Neck Deep, Pete Doherty, Moose Blood, Courtney Barnett (a man can dream), Mystery Jets, The Crookes

[oneoftherest]

Not even sure what capacity Frank Turner could be there in this year, I mean unless he plays with Sleeping Souls somewhere. Maybe Propaganda DJ Set if not

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

He has to do Friday and Saturday if he does play because he's busy on the Sunday.

Thurs

oh, lame

[YoramG]

Big Weekend just added Biffy, CHVURCHES, Fetty Wap, Sigma, Skepta, Jack Garratt and Twenty One Pilots, all big draws for this year at Reading, while also having Catfish, TLSP, Tame Impala, Chase and Status and Bring Me. Thursday better bring some big names along otherwise Big Weekend is looking a million times better, for me personally anyway.

Big Weekend is a completely different festival as it's free and always brings in huge 'Top40' artists and it's a free festival (with a booking fee of about £8). Look at the past few line ups for it to see examples of how much the festival surpasses most 'regular' festivals.

I understand that and all, but I think I'm just very disappointed with the undercard at R&L this year and that announcement has just really put that into perspective. I'm desperately hoping for Weezer/Sum 41/Catfish, unlikely as they are, just to give me something to be excited about apart from the Chili Peppers and Biffy this year as nothing else is really doing it. Saying that, I'll end up going anyway cos I love the weekend with mates and all that

Yeah I've felt that way for a quite a few years I've been now. All UK festivals seem to be really struggling with the size and prices of the European festivals now but Reading will always be of interest to me just because of the group of people I go with each year. Biffy, Foals, RHCP, TDCC, Vaccines are all huge draws for me but I agree something else is needed. Reading Saturday is really poor in terms of the under card for my taste but I've worked around that before just but hanging around the pit stage / BBC Introducing and NME to discover acts that I wouldn't listen to normally. I'm sure there'll be some more hints or maybe even the usual leak by Wednesday night... If not, Thursday isn't too far away

Sets at Big Weekend are way too short, they gave Rudimental 3 more songs than Foo Fighters last year.

They're not comparable festivals

[Bisque]

Well last night esculated quickly.

R1BW probably has the biggest pull acts wise/headliners (we wouldn't all love the amount of "pop" music it has) of all the fests every year, not sure how the BBC can do it for free. The acts most know that R1 support over here is well worth having.

They've tried by adding the Dance Stage & 1Xtra. I don't have a clue what the solution is, maybe just keep it as it is & just cater the usual school leavers as their first big fest. Paid by mom & dad.

Well I'm obviously not expecting them on the dance stage

[DirtyChorizo]

coachella need to sort themselves the fuck out. cut off half the acts before they were finished.

[shoncahill]

So I came on here to see there had been about 7 new pages since last night... Thought maybe a new stage split poster had been leaked but boy was I wrong...

1. Swans

[peruvianjoco]

This swans joke has gone completely over my head to be honest...
