I sent a message to Coheed and Cambria about two weeks ago, but so far haven't heard anything! I am going to message a few more bands today.

There's an interview with Frank Turner on eGigs saying that he got tired of playing fests, so all he'll try and do this year is one or two, including R/L.

Add into that that he's doing a big tour in Sept by all accounts, he's pretty nailed on for it.

Kids in glass houses said they'll be doing some festivals, but probably not reading and leeds.

I think its too early for this thread, I doubt most smaller acts are even booked yet (I.e the ones likely to reply). usualy replies don't come till after the first announcment.

Added a few replies that I've seen on other boards, should get a few more replies now.

A Day To Remember are in talks and hoping to play.

[Brock_Lesner]

it's not impossible...they might do it as part of promotion for the Neverender DVD.

nice avatar btw. did you go?

[beLIEveR]

Haven't replied simply because I avoid myspace like the plague, but keep up the good work!

[Morello]

Add Gallows to the hopefully playing list

[likelyladtom]

Twin Atlantic have self confirmed at numerous gigs.

Death Cab for Cutie are "hopefully playing".. according to someone who emailed their management.

This myspace business... how does it work? Can anyone send a message to bands or do you have to have your own myspace page?

I ask because (InMe frontman) Dave Mcpherson is playing a solo show in a local venue on saturday and I need to know what time and how long he'll be playing for.

Not really Reading related but kind of relevant for the thread!

Updated FFAF to playing after self confirmation at last night's gig in Leeds.

Dan Le Sac cd Scroobius Pip have told me they were asked to play this year but turned it down as they're only doing smaller festivals.
