I think Enter Shikari are a decent shout for a secret set especially seeing as the one festival they were playing was cancelled.

Yeah I would agree. A nice early afternoon slot on the NME would go down nicely. 

It isn't relevant to R&L, but speaking of secret sets, I'm expecting an ADTR appearance at Download with them playing the K! Awards on the Thursday immediately before Download.

Anything involving Chuck D and Tom Morello gets my vote. Looking forward to hearing it.

Just checked a few of my favourite bands off the Green Man festival line up.

King Gizzard, Suuns, Connan Mockasin, Battles and Dungen are all free for Leeds/Reading and are in the UK.

Possibilities?

For those who said that Radiohead couldn't headline, Neil has said he had info to suggest they pulled out of reading late in the day for 2016. He did not say for a fact they did and it is not substantiated but there you go.

Was just about to post this in the 2017 thread. Devastating if true - wonder why they may have pulled out if info is accurate?

Go to Green Man if you wanna see bands playing Green Man. Generally very little crossover.

My point was that the website would suggest a rage reunion which as FloorFiller said, would be misleading, therefore for myself it would be disappointing. I shall remember to spell out every point I make so that's it's crystal clear for you Yellow_Fellow

The website www.prophetsofrage.com was misleading because - instead of a Rage Against the Machine reunion - it was for the band Prophets of Rage?

Christ...it was misleading cause it looked far more like a Rage reunion than Prophets of Rage

Everyone figured out it has something to do with both Public Enemy and Rage after initial OMG OMG

The first thing I saw was the website, before I heard PE were anything to do with it, hence my own disappointment (I'm far more of a RATM fan than PE).

Does R/L do some kind of beer/cider crates pick-up service like Titp?  Can't see anything on the website so i'm guessing it's likely a no, but wanted some confirmation.

No it didn't. People wanted it to be a Rage reunion so assumed it was.

Eagles of Death Metal removed from Rock En Seine lineup because Jesse Hughes is a bellend, wonder if R&L will follow suit

Of course they won't. The remarks were directed at the French people and government. If they were gonna do that based on unrelated views then they may as well never have booked them as he's never been quiet about his iffy opinions on guns, religion, politics,  etc.

there's iffy opinions on guns, religion, politics, and there's;

"I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination"

I know what he said. Have you seen the documentary about him? It's quite clear that if something like that happened, that a right wing, Christian fundamentalist gun nut would react this way if given a platform. Best to just dismiss it with everything else he says.

Also, when Tyler was barred from the country you had ideas on free speech that wouldn't really befit removing Eagles from the bill based on what yer man says.

Quite a substantial difference between being barred from performing at a private event and entering an entire country and I think you know that

Of course but would you have stood behind R&L binning Tyler for perceived homophobic and sexually violent language?

No because, again, there's perceived language and then there's what Hughes said. I would've been happy if Banks got dropped too. 

[PastRecedes]

R&L won't cancel EODM. However stupid, Jesse basically expressed a Republican view that is very common in America. I'm sure R&L will have booked acts over the years with similar views - it's just such a heated time at the moment that these views come into the public eye more often

I hope R&L do start banning people for being bellends, would hugely improve the lineup.

would have to change a lot of acts though.

Fair enough man. Hope you know I'm not dismissing your point by any means, I'm just unsure personally where his comments fall between free speech and hate speech, I suppose.

I'd say he's crossed the line quite massively here (could you guess? :p), but I think the main point I'm trying to make is that while R&L do host him, it's probably not as welcoming a place for Muslim acts and fans, which is kinda shitty.

Glasto section; can't remember exactly what he said but I think it was part of his reasoning as to why Radiohead may not have been booked to headline Glasto.

[rawaudioinput]

My dad said he saw the R&L line-up in a magazine the other day and couldn't believe how shite it was; said 'why don't they get anyone decent like Paul Simon'

Where is the full Huges's quote? I found like 5 different parts
