Lineup 2016

[6daviesdr]

i've gone for the weekend and used the red entrance every year, but as this year is absolute gash I'm just going for the Saturday.

Judging by the map i need to go in the green entrance for day tickets, can you get dropped off there or do i need to walk all the way round from red?

 

Side note, saturday pit stage is still 2 bands down from being full. Thoughts on that?

Mastodon finishing before chili's start? double hushhush set from skindred/parkway? 

Big spring have said they are opening and AFATK there's no one else to be added to that stage.

Green entrance is by the river, you have to walk round there. Best best is to get dropped off near the Crown Plaza hotel on Richfield Avenue, walk up to the river from there then along the footpath to the Green entrance. Will take around 10 mins, and it's pretty close to the arena once you're in

Yeah there can't really be more main stage additions. I agree there'll likely be someone pulling double duty - probably Skindred being favourites at R+L - or perhaps someone not on the bill but I don't think they'd run the risk of having someone like YMAS in that tent.

[Mash011]

If Mastodon play earlier and we end up with a Gizzard/Dillinger clash I'll snap.

[Andre91]

I'm hoping to god that Creeper and Frank Carter don't clash. I really don't know who I would choose. The same for Parkway Drive and Milk Teeth, although if push came to shove I would go with Parkway. 

[AndrewSmith]

Got a feeling the Frank Carter set is going to be one of my highlights of the weekend. The band seem so up for this on social media ever since he leaked the 2nd announcement!

As weekend goers, but non campers, we always use the green entrance, it's a much nicer walk, seems like it's not quit as far and never has queues (at least for w/e tickets)

as others say get dropped off at or near the caver sham bridge/ crowne plaza

Any recommendations for bands to check out between bands on the smaller stages? (i.e Pit/Lockup, Introducing and FR)

Well what do you listen too\excited to see? Will make it easier to narrow down what acts are right for you

Go and see Frank Carter if that is the case as Frank Carter is far better live. Also I'd say Parkway over Milk Teeth. Saw Milk Teeth at 2000trees this year and the last and they were good but nothing special both time and even thought I've not seen Parkway live I've heard that they're incredible.

[she bangs the drums]

Yeah has to be Frank and Parkway though hoping to catch Creeper and Milk Teeth too

[she bangs the drums]

According to Frank Carter on twitter, he is on stage at 12 at Leeds. 

[Andre91]

Frank Turner to start at 11am then? 

[Gozpot]

Frank Turner seems to disagree.

Sorry if this has already been talked about endlessly but who are the favourites for the secret set on Saturday?

Think Catfish & the Bottlemen are favourites to be secret set Friday (Leeds) Sunday (Reading)

That would be pretty uninspiring imo as they have played the last two years. I'm still a fan though and would give them a watch.

[CRW5252]

Have Weezer been ruled out for the secret set?

[dentalplan]

You keep calling it "the secret set" but the fest hasn't teased one in any way, and the last two years Melvin has talked it up publicly by now. Besides, considering the festival has had its best sales since 2010 or something, they have no real reason to offer the mystery box.

Seen this quite a bit and I honestly don't think favouriting and unfavouriting a tweet is sufficient evidence to say that they are the favourites

They were never ruled in from the start

Neither are lots of things that get ruled out...

No I don't think they are ruled out, but they're not around and I don't see any reason they'd do it.

My mate keeps mixing up Frank Turner and Frank Carter, having them both playing one after each other early on Friday isn't going to help.

[GodlikeYeezus]

I have never previously used Gumtree however I am looking to purchase Reading + Leeds tickets this year off the site. 

 

https://www.gumtree.com/p/music-festival-tickets/leeds-full-weekend-camping-tickets-/1183290809

 

Thats the source I have reserved tickets with. The guy is apparently an agent which I know of Leeds Fest selling high quantities of tickets to agents because it never sells out but I am wondering if you guys would trust the source. 4+ Year member etc.

 

If i'm missing something which gives the fraud away let me know, don't want to be naive and end up being shafted.

 

Cheers

You Me At Six are playing a secret set.

if true wouldn't surprise me to see them take a step up as a co-headliner next year, possibly with Royal Blood

tour doesn't start until October though so find it hard to believe they'd play these two shows, do nothing for a couple of months, and then tour

What if it's not true? Are they only headliners if they do a secret set?

Based on them announcing a pre-album release mini tour?
