Still nothing on the app...... really can only mean things still aren't all in place

Giving them the benefit of the doubt with all the covid uncertainty but, either way, the organisation and comms this year have been poor

[OnlyRevolutions]

They did e-mail out to someone saying set times will not be released until next week didn't they? i imagine set times, changes to the line-up and everything else will be happening on Monday

It always used to be the week of the festival. It’ll be announced soon enough. 

You sure? I remember marking bands i wanted to see in the app months before.

How has the organisation been poor? 

[jonnyisRFC]

They always used to announce the stage times on the Wednesday before the festival started. Before everyone had smartphones you’d have no choice but to buy an official lanyard with stage times for £10!

Mainly the ticket transfer fiasco and the lack of updates when social media (not just us) has been melting down about covid, overseas acts etc. I appreciate leaving the app etc till next week is more akin to how it used to be going back a few years but in 2019 everything, including schedule, was available early August. Covid will have obviously caused them hassle but it’s more of a reason to keep people informed. All I’m really after is the set times now the map is out, albeit a leaked version

The ticket transfer thing isn’t really their fault though, it’s Ticketmaster’s. 2019, not this year, was the anomaly with everything being announced so early. 
 

It’ll all come early next week.

[Tom Connolly]

[Buko]

Just seen The Kid Laroi is playing in LA tonight, he's my number 1 bet to flake last minute

There is no chance some random Eurovision band pitches up at Reading having never played in the country before. 
 

90% of goers wouldn’t even have ever heard of them. I hadn’t!

Since winning Eurovision they’ve had 3 different songs in the UK charts, the last 2 both in the top 10.

They also currently have the 4th most streamed song in the world on Spotify (and the 15th).

Id say the majority of the Reading and Leeds audience would be fully aware of them at this point.

Måneskin ain’t happening, lads. Come on.

They have played the UK before at a venue that’s down the road from me which holds about 500ish people. I was then shocked to see how popular they were on Spotify recently as I didn’t know they had won Eurovision.

Isn’t the official UK chart basically grannies buying Westlife singles/ Eurovision songs
 

Have they managed to get onto the Spotify streaming charts?

I wish 😂

I just saw Maneskin last weekend at Rock for People festival in the Czech Republic. They got huge really fast and definitely the a band for gen z, so they could easily replace MGK.

Half of the setlist were covers, their hit song was played 3 times (normal, Iggy Pop version and as encore)... the kids loved it (actually not sure, if they know the original songs except Harry Styles or billie eilish covers)... nothing special about the band.

Good thing is, that many kids came to the festival to see them and left with better bands to listen.
