Meant it'll start to become yet another reason people prefer Reading to Leeds

 

Ah sound. If it becomes regular to the point where people buy tickets expecting a big band to do a secret set then perhaps but I don't think it'll ever get that way. I wouldn't say people 'prefer' Reading to Leeds either as it's not as if people evaluate both and choose their favourite, it's just Reading has a bigger 'catchment area', if you will.

There is one thing everyone seems to have missed - i'd love for it to be true, but I doubt it.

 

He said "Wild horses wouldn’t let me be able to tell you who the secret guests are. You can take from that whatever you want.". The Stones' song Wild Horses includes the line:

 

"Wild horses couldn't drag me away"

Long shot, but it would be a pretty epic secret set.

lol

Green Day opened the tent, TCV were on about 4th when they played so certainly different sets

    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
    • I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
