Imagine that they've implemented this to stop ticket touting so i guess it has served its purpose I reckon so. Seems like they’re being tighter against touts this year I had 6 tickets and they cancelled 2 of them last night.. I’ve never had that for Reading before.

Put 2 of my mates right in the shit Gutted, it seems to have happen to a fair few without much warning when you first add them to your basket. Hope they get sorted. Just guessing but it could be to reduce contact between the ticket holder and the staff on the gate? Read that Tramlines aren't even doing weekend wristbands this year. Don't know what the lead times are on ticket printing/posting but if they've just found out they can go ahead it'll save them time going digital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As digital tickets not physical? It should be alright you'd think, I'd guess it'd just disappear from the seller's ticket wallet and appear in the buyers and all the info would transfer over, if anything it should make it easier. One of my mates bought a resale ticket and has resold it themselves via Ticketmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 if Queens were to cancel the libertines may be a good shout to headline, they're probably just under headline size but the festival would probably book them if they are about and they are desperate for a headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanh Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Received an email from Reading today and is looking likely that we get a lineup announcement next week “Stay tuned for some exciting news next week, app release and plenty more news.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Only just seen this, for some reason I assumed they were British. I’ve been following tramlines on Twitter and there was no mention of them dropping out either, just knocked them off the lineup. Can probably rule out any Aussie bands on the R&L lineup then (if we have any, none that immediately comes to mind?). Guess we will have to wait and see with the American acts.

Does one of The Wombats live over there? Kid Laroi is Aussie but I believe he lives in the US? Not music related but the Aussies and NZ pulling out of the RL World Cup tells you all you need to know about how seriously they feel about the UK right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benj Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The other thing to factor in is actual COVID cancellations in the UK. Fontaines DC pulled out of Lattitude yesterday after a band member tested positive. You assume if touring, a band or crew member, so a fairly large bunch, testing positive may wipe out the band completely. Depending on case levels then, it may be pretty much a cert a few bands are forced to pull late on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) R&L have quite a big swing I think with attracting certain bands so could we get quite a few secret sets if bands pull out? If bands are around they'll probably jump at the chance to keep the festival sweet too, especially if they are playing next year. Bands like the vaccines, blossoms, the amazons, sundara karma etc - maybe even a big secret set from Royal Blood to set them up for headlining next year Edited July 23, 2021 by BeddingatReading .

iistroudley Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Think the announcement next week will be smaller acts filling gaps with any big acts changes (due to travel restrictions) coming a week or two before the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhcp1 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Does anyone know with regards the entry requirements if your coming from Ireland like I am do you have to still do a lateral flow test even though I am fully vaccinated would I be correct in saying that? And if so can you just walk into any pharmacy and they will provide you with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that info mate very helpful. I think your right it's odd isn't it even though we are fully vaccinated but whatever has to be done to get through those gates will be done 😊 can you just walk into a pharmacy in the UK and get a rapid test instantly? And you know how your rules on masks now are relaxed is that pretty much in hotels shops,bars etc you don't have to wear one anymore?

jumperofftheshelf Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just seen apparently all members of Catfish except the frontman have resigned from the band according to a government website. Not too sure what this means but it could be likely we see them replaced if they’ve split. (not my discovery I have no idea how people find these things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
