My guess would be they don't want to announce any major undercard and get overshadowed by the Eminem announcement

My guess would be they haven't booked anything remotely good or interesting

Haim can surely not be subbing. Must have someone else to come.

Friday: Kasabian, Two Door Cinema Club, Billy Talent, Jimmy Eat World, Shy FX
Saturday: Korn, Flume, At the Drive-In, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Grouplove, Marmozets, Moose Blood, Noisia, The Pretty Reckless
Sunday: Muse, Architects, Fickle Friends

Saturday looking okay I guess, although could easily be ruined by clashes. Friday is poor and that Sunday!

Well, I'm from Spain and I've been waiting since I was 15 to be able to go to reading/leeds. This year was the first one I could... and it's the most disappointing line up I've ever seen... T_T ... 

When will be the next announcement? Anyone knows? 

 

[Hawky]

I reckon they've formatted it this way to save having "Special guests" all over the lineup in the top spots. 

Its sh*tty, but have faith at least it can only get better!

Surely that's not Haim subbing Muse there and there's still a sub to come?

That's gotta be 30STM, right? I mean, I think they're bigger than Haim? Have Haim really kept relevance in their absence? I like Haim, but I couldn't see them being higher than fourth on Main at all right now.

This is not a strong lineup...

"in alphabetical order" lmao give us the proper poster you tight gits

[Cammers]

Not really moved by that announcement. Certainly not enough for me to get a ticket yet.

That said, aside from the headliners I'd like to see the following as well as finding some acts I've never heard of;

TDCC
Bear's Den
Circa Waves
The Amity Affliction
Jimmy Eat World
Mallory Knox
Moose Blood
Major Lazer
Frank Carter
Marmozets
Noisia
Sundara Karma
The Pretty Reckless
Blossoms
Architects

Yeah Haim are in the middle of doing a Two Door Cinema Club/Emeli Sande and delaying and delaying their next album until nobody cares anymore, I like them but they'd flop like Jeremy Corbyn as a sub

Makes sense tbf from the festival's point of view. Someone might love Eminem and say, Korn. Better not to tell them they're on at the same time (just an example this may not be the case) until after they've bought a ticket.

[DownboundTrain52]

There's probably enough on the Kasabian/Eminem days to justify maybe a day ticket - though I might just sod it and try to go via press. I'd rather not pay to see... this.

Well, at least I've got Glastonbury and there's no chance of there being some middling, past it rock band like the Foo Fi-shit.

The bassist's gurn has kept all relevance.

of course, doesn't make it okay or decent though, especially when your target audience is people reliant on begging their parents to buy their tickets xoxo

[pop-punk meme]

any ideas on where blossoms will play?

[Hart Attack]

You Me At Six
Billy Talent
Jimmy Eat World
Mallory Knox

Eminem
Korn
At The Drive-In
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes
Marmozets
Moose Blood
The Pretty Reckless
While She Sleeps

Muse
Against The Current
Architects

 

Underwhelming but not catastrophic - I definitely won't be buying a ticket just yet, but I'm not ruling it out either. Future announcements can still save this one.

[JSmurphy]

I don't even think there's that many high slots left:

Kasabian, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club
You Me At Six

Eminem, Major Lazer, Korn
Flume

Muse, ???, HAIM
???

That gurn though. That was something else. 

I remember seeing them at ... Sheffield O2 Academy?

They sit (for the boring people out there) 77th on my all-time list of gigs, below Mumford's headline set here in '15 and above Bryan Adams at Leeds Arena doing Reckless. By no means a bad gig, I just seem to remember there being a touch of zen missing.

Are You Me at Six really going to go against Kasabian? Mind you, lads against pop-punkers.

Yeah they've confirmed they're headlining the NME. Irrelevant band and an awful booking imo.

It's a bit odd given you me at six's new direction of being a bit lad rocky themselves but I doubt there's too much crossover in fans.
