Went reading last year and again the year before that, if the rumors are true these headliners are the worst in years.

[Platty]

I went to Leeds in 2005 which was amazing. Don't think I will bother with a big festival this year.

Most of the headliners are not that great but then you dont go just to see 3 headline bands do you!!

My problem is most of the bands playing I have now seen and some more than once. I may get a day ticket to Reading perhaps. See what the line up is like.

I went to reading last year just to see Franz, Muse and Maximo....

[AshMat]

I went to Leeds '05, didn't get to go last eyar but i wasn't too bothered bcause i didn't like the lineup. I love the headliners this year, Razorlight and RHCP? Though i'm not sure Razorlight should actually headline, the new album's a little boring, but they're still great live. Never actually listened to Smashing Pumpkins, but i will if it turns out they're a definite.

[Platty]

Why not buy tickets to their own gigs then? that would be a lot cheaper.

[Fresh]

That would just make too much sense.

[Ramar]

Looks poor. Seen razorlight live before, sure as hell am not paying £60 ticket for one day.

[Blackfox]

NOFX are immense, but it troubles me they are playing there..

[AshMat]

They played in '05, i told my dad them first because he saw/loved them. And it/s a 100% defintie he's gonna go for tickets on Monday.

[Platty]

Yeah I watched NOFX in 05. Pretty good. They usually do a festival or 2 over here.

[or else you will DIE]

Fingers crossed for SP. that's the only band i'm interested in.

[AshMat]

Big list of reliable rumours:

Headliners:
Razorlight
Smashing Pumpkins
Red Hot Chillis.

Others:
Kings of Leon
Lostprophets
+44
Interpol
Klaxons
The View
The Maccabees
Nine Inch Nails
Arcade Fire
Billy Talent
Patrick Wolf
Fall Out Boy
Ash
NoFX
Sonic Youth
The Horrors.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Oooo, Interpol and Ash could be there. Could this mean Ash's new album is nearing completion? :D

Bloc Party as well, looks promising.

[Tom]

i dont think the headliners look good, but i NEED to see the arcade fire, so a day ticket on which ever day they play is the most likely option. I think I'm just going to do a one day for download this year too.

I wish I could go to All Tomorrows Parties this year, Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky are playing.

[McPhee]

Headliners look pretty much set at:

(Leeds Days)

Friday:
Smashing Pumpkins
Nine Inch Nails

Saturday:
Razorlight
Kings of Leon

Sunday:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Arcade Fire
Bloc Party

With Klaxons headlining 1 day on the Radio 1 with the other 2 days being taken by any 2 of: Ash, Sonic Youth, Biffy Clyro, The Gossip, The Good The Bad and The Queen

[Bren]

Why not buy tickets to their own gigs then? that would be a lot cheaper.

because festivals own gigs

2 words. Beer Breakfast.

The main reason for going to a festival over a gig, its ok to be smashed at 10am

[LukeLee]

wow, a reading thread without a contribution from Coo, whats going on?

[Herr Dark Wolf]

Rage Against the Machine... please..

I think you're exactly right. The rest of the line up is hard to predict but I think Trivium will be below Nine Inch Nails. The Radio 1 headliners will probably be Klaxons, The View and The Gossip.

Nah, ive got a feeling that 1 night will be someone reasonably big i.e. Sonic Youth or Ash. Theres always 1 tent headliner who's been around a bit. Primal Scream in 06, The Tears (aka Suede) in 05, Supergrass and Graham Coxon in 04

Just been looking through some old line-ups, 2003 was amazing! Every year i see it and every year it looks better because more and more bands from it break through

I was there in 2003! woop. sadly, I was only there on the saturday, but System of a Down and Metallica FTW!

sorry, slightly drunk...

edit: actually, its quite interewsting looking at the lineup from 2003, on the smaller stages. There are alot fo bands ont her smaller stages that are only now making it big, eg billy talent, keane, the scissor sisters, the futureheads and funeral for a friend were all low down on smaller stages. Just shows, these organisers know their stuff.

still drunk btw, just a stroke of inspiration!

[CooInTheZoo]

wow, a reading thread without a contribution from Coo, whats going on?

aye im getting there!!

hopefully the tickets will be a little easier to get than last year, i got mine no problems but a few mates missed out, even though they were on the website as they went on sale. with glasto being back im sure alot of us wont have any trouble.

though im horribly worried none of my friends are gonna bother to get tickets straight away, and then they will sell out, and then i have 4 days of lonely crying into my jumbo yorkshire pudding (the reading fest food)

[BGS]

I went to Leeds 2003 and it was bloody amazing. So many good memories..
Being right at the front by the barriers, dead center for the entirety of Blink and Linkin Park - bloody awesome it was.
The bouncers smacking me around during the darkness. I fooled them, after going over the front, into thinking that I was just walking over to the entrance, no hassle. Then as they were all occupied I dashed for the stage, leapt up, got a hand on the stage, was trying to pull myself up until THWACK about 3 gigantic bouncers leapt on top of me.
Being in the big crowd collapse during SOAD that got on the news!
Stripping with a mate down to our boxers for some scary burger lady in the middle of the field in exchange for free food!
Being out of my face and spending 30 quid on 3 albums of repetitive 'monk rock' from some dodgy yet persuasive hari krishna guy.

This year doesn't look too bad actually if the rumours are true.
Heard some good things about Razorlight live and I'd love to see KoL.
As much as I love the Pumpkins, I've no idea how they're one above Nine Inch Nails on the bill..
Sunday's a little disappointing. The Chilli's are a little hit and miss for me.

[Dyson]

Kasabian are also rumoured to be making an appearance.

[Platty]

2 words. Beer Breakfast.

I totally agree and have been to many festivals in my years, I was just stating I dont see the point in going and spending all that money to see just 1 or 2 bands :heh:

I wish I could go to All Tomorrows Parties this year, Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky are playing

ATP are pretty good festivals, I went to the one curated by Yeah yeah yeahs and Devendra Banhart, was awesome.

I may get a day ticket to reading and do some of the smaller festivals like get loaded in the park on clapham common etc.

[AshMat]

Got an email fromt he Maximo Park mailing list that pretty much says they're gonna be on at leeds:
Bottom of the email:

"For those in the UK - keep an eye out for big festival news which will be posted on our site after 7pm. "

IT'S THERE GUYS! LEEDS 2007 !!!

Looks sweet.

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

why not post the reading lineup as well? I can't get on either of the sites just to see the lineup! Tsk.

[Fresh]

It's a shockingly bad line up. Then again last years was amazing so they had to make up for that.

[McPhee]

Its not half bad, some bands on the main stage that i'd have expected in the tent and bands in the tent that i expected on the main stage though.
Oddly there arent any surprise acts this year, was expecting some older acts low down on the main stage

ASH IN THE TENT!!!! That night is gonna be awesome! Shame about having to choose between LCD Soundsystem and Nine Inch Nails and Biffy + Bloc Party though

Looks like all the Metal/Punk acts have been moved to the Lock-Up, hopefully they announce that soon (Alkaline Trio FTW!)

[Dan Dare]

sold out? I cant get through.

[AshMat]

s far as i know my stepmum's still trying, can't imagine they sold out though.

[Fresh]

s far as i know my stepmum's still trying, can't imagine they sold out though.

Oh they would have been sold out by now mate. take about 20-39 mins to sell out.

[AshMat]

I'd guess again, stepmum just got them!

been refreshing the tickets site since 6:50. didnt get any. almost gave up, got that link at 7:35.

I NOW HAVE TICKETS!! :heh:

[Chuck]

there all shite bands bar one whome ive just discovered - Biffy Clyro

[AshMat]

You use that site i linked to? If you did, you owe me oral.

[CooInTheZoo]

yeah same site, wasnt here i got the link from tho

im in such a great mood tho you might get lucky anyway

[Platty]

Isnt that great a lineup. The bands I would like to see I have seen and some of them more than once so I didnt bother.

I may get a day ticket nearer the time off ebay or something, wouldnt mind seeing the reformed Ash headline the radio one/NME tent.

Just tried seetickets and such and the server seems to have crashed. :)

[Saminthehat]

They air Reading on BBC 3 don't they? That's good enough for me.

[thirtynine.]

I got mine of see tickets at 9:30, the coach ones though.

[The Bard]

It's a shockingly bad line up. Then again last years was amazing so they had to make up for that.

Last year they had fucking Slayer man! And this year all they have is shite indie popularist, shallow bollocks.

[Tom]

I might get a day ticket for reading saturday for Arcade fire. I have to see them! With any luck it'll be scheduled so I could see We Are Scientists in the tent. And maybe some good bands in the lockup/concrete jungle.

I wish download wasnt looking crap this year :(

[Platty]

They air Reading on BBC 3 don't they? That's good enough for me.

Yeah but the coverage is always shocking. 1 or 2 songs from 1 or 2 bands. Just film the whole damn thing and put it on a loop through the night so people can record it for gawd sake.

[Saminthehat]

I see...__

[McPhee]

Not bought a ticket yet, waiting for the metal/punk tent to be announced and then getting them off Scarlet Mist or eBay just before the festival (they usually go for under face value by then). Couple of mates got V weekend camping last year the night before the fest for £60 each! They just met the bloke there



Last year they had fucking Slayer man! And this year all they have is shite indie popularist, shallow bollocks.

Theres a rumour going around of no Dance Tent and a 3 Day Lock-Up type thing this year. In a bigger tent, hence the lack of Metal + Punk on the main stage.
Could be good, in reality its probably going to make me cry from all the clashes

[gmac]

Smashing Pumpkins

I'd go just to see them

Download is actually looking pretty good this year:

Devil Driver (good live, on record, not so good)
Dimmu Borgir
DragonForce
Killswitch Engage
Lamb Of God
Machine Head
Megadeth
Slayer
Shadows Fall

more to be announced soon. Unfortunately I don't have 150 quid to spend on gigs.

Wow I don't like any of them bands.

I do however like these ones:
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
Wolfmother
Enter Shikari
and
Bring Me The Horizon

Dear god it looks like I'm a scene kid with that list.

But you are a scene kid :blank:. I've not actually heard any Wolfmother, but I've heard good things. Bring me the horizon however, are just total incomprehensible noise.

[killthenet]

Wolfmother are as bad as the rest of them: a throw back 70's retro outfit who are as dull as dishwater.

Reading and Leeds line up looks as dull as ever. It really is a rubbish festvial, filled with rubbish bands and rubbish people and spread over miles of crappy farmland.

[AshMat]

I get a lot of you may complain, but i love the lineup. Maybe i'm just excited because it's leeds fest, but i think the lineup looks pretty damn great. Except the fact i can't go see Klaxons due to RHCP.
RHCP and Bloc Party on the same day is a dream come true, my 2 most wanted to see bands.

Started listening to Smashing Pumpkins now, if i don't i'll end up getting stuck at the back of the NME tent not being able to see the band like in '05 wit the Pixies (Main stage) and Kasabian (tent).

I agrre that there are some excellent live bands in the line up, but I have seen them (almost) all before.

I think a satuday ticket to download and a saturday ticket to reading and i'll be sotrted for festivsal this year.

*burst bubble* Saw RHCP live a few months ago, they had no stage presence.

[Platty]

Yeah I wouldnt go see RHCP to be honest but then I have never really liked them.

[AshMat]

*burst bubble* Saw RHCP live a few months ago, they had no stage presence.

My bubble's still in tact. I'm still going to see them, after seeing live videos i want to see them to play the music, if they have presence that's just a plus.

[thirtynine.]

RHCP great when they were on deugs now they are world loving vegiterians they suck ass.

[ThePigMarcher]

I have just seen the Sunday line-up for Reading and that looks mighty tempting with Nine Inch Nails and the reformed Smashing Pumpkins (another of my all-time favs) headlining , BUT , £62.50 for a day ticket seems a bit extreme.
