Rage will probably start RIGHT after IDLES finish so leaving the tent a touch early would be advised.

Thanks, I'm a huge IDLES fan - I've seen them live four or five times in the last twelve months anyway - but I have to see Rage. It's a shame they're not in the Courteeners slot, I thought they'd be higher up if they were exclusive as suggested.

[Brandohoff]

Time to create a playlist of everyone not on my already planned schedule and get adding. Any recommendations that ain’t below?

[DomDom1984]

Yeah. It's pretty hilarious if they're doing an exclusive in that slot. They're underselling themselves in a big way.

that’s what i’m saying, Panic, Kendrick, Pilots and Post were all phenomenal. now it’s liam gallagher and his scottish tribute act

Ha ha sorry, misinterpreted it.  Will be Girl in Red for me that night. 

[mttJ]

Friday - Wallows > Mabel > TDCC > Stormzy > Sam Fender

Saturday - Easy Life > Sea Girls > Liam Gallagher

Sunday - Idles > RATM

Unless there’s an absolute miracle in the next few announcements and/or a top secret set leaked a few weeks prior, not a chance I’m there with the above.

How much is a normal ticket this year?! Just went to look at Barclays 10% off and its £235. That means a weekend ticket is £260 ... that is a pathetic amount to fork out on such an uninspiring lineup when I am interested in probably 15 of those acts (and 14 of those would charge probably £20 for a show ticket (yet I wouldn't even look twice if they were performing down the road from me).

 

 

Bought my ticket early cost £250 for early bird + ticket. They must of upped them

Doing Leeds festival for the first time this year after deciding to give Download a miss after going there every year since 2012. There's probably more acts I like on the Download line-up but it will be nice to see a few different acts i've never seen before at Leeds (Download has gotten really bad for booking the same bands every other year). Over the moon with Rage Against The Machine being announced. At the minute it looks like my plan is to see (this could change if clashes change):

FRIDAY: Georgia, Black Peaks, Run The Jewels, Creeper, Idles (Back half if they clash), Rage Against The Machine

SATURDAY: Lyra, Wallows, Fickle Friends, Holding Absence, JPEGMAFIA, Stormzy (back half)

SUNDAY: The Hara, Beabadoobie, The Bronx, Girl In Red, Liam Gallagher (back half)

[dum surfer]

not sure on clashes/timings but would try and see at least all of these if i can. 

Friday: Joy Crookes - Wallows - Spector - Declan McKenna - Mahalia - Denzel Curry - JPEGMafia (TDCC too if no clash)

Saturday: Easy Life - Beabadoobee - 070 Shake - Fontaines DC - Rex Orange County

Sunday: Jaws - Slowthai - Ho99o9 -Run The Jewels - Idles - RATM

[OnlyRevolutions]

1Xtra Stage closing early on Stormzy's day would be ideal for me so that i could go Denzel > JPEGMAFIA clashing those two doesn't make sense to me, would love for them to be on at different times too so that we can have them perform Vengeance together

Am I alone in thinking Rage are a shocker of a booking for this festival nowadays? I'd have thought they'd be better doing their own thing.

Yes, you are alone.

Genuinely couldn’t have been a better booking (all down to personal choice of course)

I'm not talking about tastes. I'm a massive fan of Rage. But Reading and Leeds have been catering to a different audience for years. They're probably the most irrelevant band they've booked in a long time.

[sameimpala]

They are as relevant right now as ever.

Tell that to the younger folk who buy tickets who've never heard of them.
 

[DuckyMcQuacks]

What do you think the chances are of them booking Clairo again? She'd fit well on the same stage with Beabadoobie and Girl In Red

I think she’d be headlining that stage if she was playing it. I could see her playing at some point across the weekend though as she has blown up

Jeez, irrelevant?

They haven’t booked Deep Purple.

This is a major coup

At least they've released music in the last 20 years.

I mean she is no different to the likes of Mabel or Dua Lipa is she?

The latter makes decent pop at least but wouldn't repair this shambles. I 100% now think where she is playing this year it's very high spots as there no way she is going 3rd at Reading on that lineup.

Biffy Secret set then...

There is no point to this at all

Who we thinking under Gerry, Wolf Alice maybr

Potentially although it might just look a bigger gap, also I think Wolf Alice sub, Gerry and Courteeners might sell great up north but below they are box standard.

Stormzy was incredible at Glastonbury, definitely a visual show.

Definitely not a vocal one.

They should be subbing for sure. 

I don't think anyone cares anymore.

For nowadays he's probably correct. KOL still have more songs that the crowd would know. You booked people like Reading have been booking and selling tickets for then you book this and expect a super hyped reaction...nah. Bool it for Download and it goes through the roof but the buzz is gone then.

I don't see the difference between this booking and the moaning that SOAD have got at Download, they released nothing last time they headlined and won't either....its for the money and people will pay....to an extent. They better because that's where this year money is. 

[jj200]

And reading and Leeds are repeating subs like conteeres.

SOAD is a shite booking too, but DL appeal to a completely different fanbase. RATM would be a great booking for DL for example.
