Last year Blossoms played the day after their secret Introducing set

Yeah but Sundara are at Victorious Friday night so won't go Reading to Portsmouth then back to Reading. 

[JSmurphy]

Yonaka, The Magic Gang, IDLES, Jimmy Eat World, Two Door Cinema Club, Queens of the Stone Age (hopefully!), Kasabian. 

What's everyone else's day(s) looking like? 

[Mattymooz]

Interesting that there seem to be 2 stages for Jack Rocks. Has this been the case everywhere else?

Where are you seeing the 2nd? I can see the one just outside the arena by yellow camp but not 2?

Well they have acts on the lineup playing at exactly the same timeslots so I assume there must be 2 stages in that small area. (Just going off what the schedule tells me)

 

Saying that there are still acts to get put on that stage and idek where they will fit at this point

Also it turns out that Amazons announcement was just more tour dates, nothing to do with Reading

[BeddingatReading]

I've always come on the Friday morning in previous years but this year we're coming on the Thursday. Is there anything to do at Reading on the Thursday night?

I'd say the times are wrong, I doubt they'll be two stages. All the bands that have times of 50 mins or an hour which seems too long for that stage, the only bands on the lineup with that sort of set length are high up the main stages

Thoughts on this?

Not too impressed me. Sounds much more radio friendly, though that could be said about Wierd and Wonderful compared to the EPs. Debut was right balance for me though

Can't really blame 'em. In the circles they move in, it's practically what you have to do.

I know, and I did expect them too. Still a kick in the balls though

Singles on debut were mostly shit though so hopefully a repeat

I went to see them in Sheffield on Friday and the new stuff sounds so raw live. An excellent band who will smash it at R&L.

Is the other secret set after the first band on the NME Friday afternoon? Because if it is I'll probably head along to that.

Are people thinking its QOTSA now then for the secret set? Other than the bit in the Prettyboys description is there any reason for it to be them as they said they aint doing fests next summer? Royal Blood seem way more likely imo

Damn, Vince Staples and Don Broco clashing has me gutted. 

Don Broco over Vince any day. Vince would only be good for his "Ascension" song with the Gorillaz.

A friend of mine saw him at Demon Dayz fest and said that he pretty much mimed his whole set.

Vince Staples will be great. Don Broco are Don Broco and therefore absolute will be trash.

I'd rather have Vince Staples miming to some absolute bangers than  see Don Broco tbh

That's wild. Sounds like you need to check out some more Vince Staples songs, and your mate needs to look up what a vocal track is and why rappers need one.

Could still be either but we know QOTSA are around and have hinted at a secret set. If they're shooting off over the weekend it would also make sense for them to play the two sites on the same day, which appears to be the case. My money would be on them on the basis of what we know right now

Just seen this on Twitter, might just be another tour announcement like the Amazons tweet

[dentalplan]

It was a big announcement:
