Are bury tomorrow likely? They're at slam dunk and download and I know that doesn't mean they won't do Leeds but they'll be very busy. Hope they are there though to play their new stuff

I know but still. And even more reason why I want them to be at Leeds. Would love while she sleeps as well underneath AA and bury tomorrow, that would make it almost perfect

Got new album out so they're likely and both of those dates are early on, doubt they'll be too busy around R&L. But still I hope Bury Tomorrow do a set on the main as opposed to doing the Pit again 2 years in a row

Please not WSS. They've done the Pit two years in a row and a 3rd would be boring and a waste a of a slot in my eyes

Aha I get your point but I'll never get bored of seeing them, and there's not too much else on for me on Reading's Friday. BT on main would be glorious though on that day

Thrice and La Dispute would bump the current line up from solid to great for me. Can see both happening with Thrice putting a new album out in May and La Dispute at ArcTanGent & Hevy the week before R+L. They're touring together in the US in June too.

I would have said that LA Dispute being at both ATG and Hevy would have ruled them out but with Hevy now being cancelled who knows? Don't think they have been booked mind (along with Thrice) as ATG shares hardly any acts with R&L. There was 2 in 2014 and I don't there was a single one last year but then again a lot of the bands that play aren't really acts you'd see at R&L so maybe you'll get lucky

This could be interesting on the Pit Stage:

The term supergroup gets thrown around a lot, but Giraffe Tongue Orchestra fit that description, and then some. The all-star collaboration unites Alice in Chains singerWilliam DuVall, Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds, Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, Dethklok bassist Pete Griffin, and former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen.

Yeah,looks great collaboration.

Strangely, when I googled them after they were announced, they came up on my search engine as if I had googled them before.Cant remember doing that but it obviously didn't register in my brain.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
