Lineup 2016

[rawaudioinput]

Nothing to do with Reading, but does anyone know any good festivals near the Bath/Bristol area?

Besides NASS (too expensive for what it is) and Ghostfest ? 

 

Thanks

2000trees is excellent and I've heard only great things about ArcTanGent

[Yellow_Fellow]

Hit the Deck is appalling don't go there

[justanothername]

Hit the Deck just seemed like a worse version of Slam Dunk too me. They did get Brand New last year but this years line up was poor.

More likely to come back as someone else.

 

See above ;P. More likely to come back and think a band doesn't need to be heavy to think they might be good!

[oneoftherest]

Yeah Hit The Deck didn't even have fabric wristbands the sales were that poor

Weren't anything to do with you Will lol. Behave Will lol, Flower are even better than Mastodon, they've been scraping the barrel on festival slots for way too long. Edited July 4, 2015 by thewayiam

I don't think anybody ever suggested that Mastodon sub headline the Main Stage at Reading and Leeds.

They didn't, but nor did I. I mentioned fest slots and main stage, it happens to be in a R&L forum is all.

I meant to put their prime fest but just edited it out as the 1st bit in the main point.

Gorillaz doing a fest a month before Blur do a fest? Also you'd need another fest for Blur, T don't do Exclusive bookings. Ed won't be around next year. Biffy will probably get offers from Download and Glasto, Soni will be bottom of their list I'd imagine even though I think they'd go down much better at Soni than at Download. I think most will predict two out of them 3 at Download to be honest (wouldn't imagine SOAD would close though). T will without a doubt have Flo in their lineup. Replace Ed at Glasto with Biffy and I think it's as spot as as possible, I don't believe the whole they won't have Biffy and Foo's in the same year, normally I'd agree but they weren't planning on Foo's pulling out and I'd bet there had been at least an offer to Biffy by then.

>implying soni will go ahead

T: Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, Foos.

IOW: The Libertines, Green Day, Muse.

 

The Libs is a funny one, normally I'd say not 3 years running but they may well do more than just R&L/Glasto to promote the album. I count Glasto as it still included two songs.

 

I don't think Download will get Tool. I think based on that, IOW would be The Libertines, FATM, Muse. V will have a more poppy act so only one of The Killers or M&S. Glasto agreed. 

R&L: Foo's, Blur and a new comer, T: Flo, Blur and take your pick with Calvin last on Saturday. Still think Foo's will do Murrayfield, doing T will mean people have to buy a ticket in Scotland to see them where originally they may not have wanted to.
