Leeds update: I've just been for a dump in the long-drops. Not as bad as you would expect. Fully going to use them again later.

Two dumps in one evening? Impressive.

Yeah I reckon so. Running that close to Kasabian, I think many won't bother.

Fabulous.

Had a great few beers in Reading tonight,time to hit the sack

Ready to bring on the bands tomorrow 

[seanz25]

My little brother is there this year, trying to keep him informed on QOTSA - I'm guessing it's probably best to tell him NME around 9:00PM tonight? Anything going on BBC Introducing between 2PM - 3:30PM? Seems a rather large gap?

QOTSA will probably be on roughly 9.15-10.00, so best to get there around 9. 

Theres a gap on the Introducing stage all 3 days. They're usually a second set by a band playing elsewhere at the festival already

Royal republic have pulled out and been replaced by The Xcerts on the Main Stage today at Leeds and Reading on Sunday.

So QOTSA are playing Leeds at 12:30PM and Reading later?

Nice to see them getting what they deserve, cracking band. Very gutted it's on the day I'm not going.

Yep, that's the theory! 

[seanz25]

QOTSA Confirm Leeds @ 12:45PM NME Stage via Twitter.

21:25PM for Reading - from a photo of the t-shirt's they're selling at both sites too.

Says 'On stage access: Festival Republic' on the badge there so I'd say you're right.

They've done well with the secret acts this year! Very jealous of people getting to see QOTSA. Tha tent will be bouncing.

A mate sent me this .EDIT: nvm it's on their insta story

Soo Jealous of people Seeing QOTSA tonight, the atmosphere will be so good!

Anyone listened to the Villains? Pretty decent album but not as good as Like Clockwork imo

[JSmurphy]

IDLES. Fuck me. Outstanding.

[Odessa]

Got confused seeing QOTSA played Leeds before as I thought it was meant to be Reading today, pretty cool they're doing both in the same day. Nice little setlist, liiittle bit gutted I've not gone to Leeds as until last week I was pretty sure I would end up caving in. Ah well.

Shame for the Leeds lot that Wolf Alice aren't on double duty as well. They'll be great. Not that it was ever less than 99% certain to happen anyway but good to know they'll have a big slot next year.

Let's hope that the "open air shows" quote has been taken too literally by us and QOTSA are back too in 2018 as that would be a really solid start to the lineup, and it'd probably rule out Foo Fighters being there too, so win win.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The whole lineup would've looked so much stronger if they'd announced either of QOTSA or Wolf Alice in advance. Shame.

[dentalplan]

I don't think the bands would be too happy at being announced as NME Stage subs or Festival Republic openers respectively.

Just now, DR OK said:

The youth get a lot of shit but some of the crowds today have looked brilliant. I think British music is back

Was gonna post this. The crowd at the Main Stage seems a lot livelier than it has been in recent years.

No I know obvs. But they should've been booked (and therefore announced) in suitable slots.
