Reading Festival is making its first announcement tonight. Seems to be that Blink-182, Fred Again and Lana Del Rey are doing it.

Make of that what you will.

That Fred/Liam day will be an instant sell out surely. Liam doing Definitely Maybe as well.

I’ve only got one, where have you got the other 2?

Have they confirmed who will be paired with who for their dual main-stage thing?

Consensus seems to be Fred/Liam with Fred on last at Reading and Liam on last at Leeds. Not too sure on other pairings though.

edit: think it’s Lana/Catfish and Blink/Gerry

Lana & Catfish on the same day could tempt me but the 2 main stage set up at Leeds is dreadful.

After this year’s meltdown, let’s see how Lana gets on when some of the R&L lads hoy a pint or two of dark-fruits-imbued piss up from the pit

Yeah interested to see how she goes down. It’s a great booking, but not sure a field of gurning teenagers is gonna appreciate her brand of slow melancholy pop very much.

Gerry Cinnamon & Catfish headlining R&L? In what world?

Well… more or less glorified main stage subs.

Maybe AM would've gone down better at Glasto last year if they brought out their cover of that one:

 

Sincerely one of my favourite covers, something charming about "fift wrapped kitty cat" in his accent, the laughing during it and sort of half hearted backing vocals 😄

Years ago my friends' band did a version of it based on this one, which linked me to it. It's quite good, plus I enjoy how much fun it sounds like they had doing it.

This one. It's a surprise, I agree.

Though it's that weird two main-stages thing they've been doing since the festival returned after lockdown that sees them running around saying they have 6 headliners.

As long as it doesn’t mess up her hair it should be ok 

[NorthernSoul52]

Future Islands would be a delight. Always a robust live performer.

Artist presale, O2 presale and Ticketek presale (and then cuz I'm doing Birmingham there's the ticketfactory presale on the thursday)

[Burritomancer]

Looks like Ticketmaster have revealed (accidentally maybe) who’s on what day at TRNSMT.

Flipping heck - these triggered a memory, they opened for Oasis at Old Trafford cricket ground around 2002. Swedish i think, forerunners to the Hives! Richard Ashcroft was sub if i recall correctly.

I don’t remember it being posted but just saw Interpol announced as support for the Smashing Pumpkins tour, which puts them out of Glastonbury
