Josh from You Me At Six has said on Twitter that they have ‘amazing news’ in the coming weeks could be Reading and Leeds or news about a tour but this is just another hint towards a lineup soon I’m seriously getting desperate now 

🤣

Just a quick question not worth another thread, I assume the shuttle boat to the campsite from the green car park at reading runs on the wednesday for early birds?

I was wondering this too, also what time from in the morning as I'll be getting there around 10am?

I think the problem isnt in US situation because that can be solved by artists getting tests or vaccines. The main problem is the current uncertainty and cancellation of festivals in mainland Europe which makes touring unprofitable. Rappers and DJ's without huge production and crew will be fine. Some of them normally fly to the UK only for R&L, like Post Malone did in 2018 (and his plane had to make an emergency landing). But bands need proper tours which makes me think that QOTSA, Fever 333 or 100 gecs might eventually cancel their shows.

Smaller acts maybe but publicity wise this would be an awful move. Surely they could just announce some UK tour dates or something like that to make it worth it or the festival could step in to help some of the smaller acts out.

People already have tickets to see those bands though. This is why generally if a band is doing their own dates then festival dates will be at a much different time.

I doubt they’ll play a secret set as they did that in 2015, but it’s nice knowing they’re available.

With QOTSA and Post Malone coming over from America, isn’t the situation pretty bad over there? Is there a chance they won’t make it over? Foals could potentially be a reserve headliner if one of them pulls out.

Situation in the US is better than the UK re vaccine timeline, cases still a bit behind but assuming vaccines work as they look like the will, the US will have over 70% of the pop fully vaccinated by July, so a travel corridor will happen. 
 

Even if Euro tours are cancelled, bands will fly for Reading, production will deffo be below normal standards but I think that will happen whatever now anyway

not sure for international acts, but generally tours are announced then sell out and afterwards festival dates at a similar time get announced if im not mistaken - i don't understand what your getting at

with parklife and wireless being on the same weekend this year, i think they will both have a fair bit of crossover too, especially in terms of overseas acts... would make sense for them to do r+l first then stay a couple weeks to get in two more gigs

Agreed. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Dababy and/or Doja Cat at one or both

I think it's more larger acts than just international. Qotsa are much more likely to announce and tour after Reading. I'm fairly sure something like that would be in the contract. They aren't going to to Reading and other arena dates around it...warm up shows at the very max.

    • 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.
