Reading and Leeds Festival

[Stevie B]

eFestivals are suggesting that the headliners are Foo Fighters, Kasabian & The Cure.

I'll get a day ticket for the Foo Fighters day.

Foos and Kasabian headlining yet another festival is dreadfully uninspiring. The Cure is a bit more interesting - by all accounts they are still pretty good live. Chubby 50+ Robert Smith wearing lipstick and eyeliner is always comical.

[Jimmy]

I've seen Kasabian before and I'm not all that interested in the other two headliners, but that's fine. I didn't watch any of the main headliners at Latitude and I still had the best time, I'm sure all the smaller bands would definitely make up for it if those were the 3 headliners. I'd be tempted to go see Kasabian again, depending on who they're up against - and if I got into The Cure before the festival.

[Matticus]

should of put a bet on last summer, they were the three headliners I said would be there.

Possibly slightly more wishful thinking when I proclaimed Beastie Boys as well but still.

All The Cure need is Pixies supporting them and it'll be Just Like Heaven ( see what I did there? )

[Matticus]

At The Drive In Self Confirmed on twitter. Nice one, heres hoping they are NME headliners on the Kasabian Day, will get a ticket if thats the case.

[Jimmy]

Half an hour now! I'm getting pretty excited. Got my ticket the other day, so I don't have to worry about getting one now.

[Jimmy]

I'm so happy, think it's an awesome line-up.

[Matt]

The only band on there whose own gig I'd go to would be Foo Fighters. And there's literally about 5 others I'd go and see if someone gave me a weekend ticket, all but two of whom (Kasabian and C&C) I've seen before. Once again, I'm glad I got a Download ticket.

[DavidMarrio]

Yeh not that impressed with the line up tbh. I mean there is a few bands I'd go and see but the rest of it is just mehhhhhhhhh

[Jimmy]

There's like 20 bands there I wanna see, but I can definitely see how people wouldn't care for it.

[METALMAN]

All these bands have shit typefaces

[Rich]

The one year I can't fucking go and At the Drive-In play, fucking typical

[Cactus Drags]

That was pretty much a spot-on announcement, bought my ticket this evening. Not been before, and I generally prefer smaller festivals like 2000 Trees, but I'm still looking forward to it. I think it's going to be the biggest festival I've been to, I expect it's much bigger than Download, correct?

[Steeb]

Oh man. That is tempting. A lot of bands there I'd love to see. How much is it this year?

[LittleDaniel]

Wait, are All Time Low a thing now?

[METALMAN]

the kids like them

[LittleDaniel]

I swear, the worst Baltimore bands make it big. Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Sisqó...

[Dan]

That line-up is fantastic, wish I was going this year now

[METALMAN]

I swear, the worst Baltimore bands make it big. Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Sisqó...

You have Frank Zappa though. He makes up for all that!
