Arctic Monkey, KOL, Radiohead

[JameSemajj]

It's virtually confirmed now..... what do you all think?

I think it's rather fuking good to be honist..

Btw, did anyone here attend Arctic Monkeys in the Carling Tent 2005? Arent we lucky

Radiohead... Quite possibly the greatest band in exsistance.

[Spiral_Low]

I have no intrest in any of those 3 bands whatsoever.

I cna maybe see why people might get excited about Radiohead but the other 2 I really dislike.

Big dissapoint for me after a string of great headliners... (RATM, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Iron Maiden, Pixies...)

Are Radiohead rumoured to be doing the Sunday at Reading??

I'm unsure of which band is playing on which day, but I've been led to understand that Radiohead are defo playing.

I think its pretty weak to be honest, but Download worked extra hard to get the pick of the bands this year so thats why

Absolutely Mattlaz.. well... What i find so good about Reading is that it has almost everything in terms of genres of music.. Metal.. and lets face it, ALOT better than last years Download Festival itself.. Indie, Electo, Punk... amongst others. It's a great oppotunity to see those bands who you wouldn't see, but perhaps can appreciate after seeing them.

If there the headliners, which is now extremely likely, it will be fantastic... Radiohead fgs!

anyone seen the Rock Werchter lineup this year, perhaps you should, i still don't how they bloody do it!

Faith no more, Slipknot and Def Leppard would never have headlined reading. So no, download didnt work harder. They just have a quality in depth that caters for a specific audience.

I'd love to have seen FNM headline Reading! Quality act... Would have been better than the same-old same-old it looks likely to be this year. I mean, decent band, but KoL again?! And Arctic Monkeys, again?! LostProphets, again?!

I agree. I'm getting sick of Reading each year going for more and more safe and "trendy" bands and catering for the designer welly brigade, who are being looked after at the expense of the loyal attendees . Last year we had Bloc Party play more or less in the exact same place as the year before Kings of Leon this year are looking like playing 1 slot higher than they did 2 years ago, Arctic Monkeys headlining on the basis that their new album will "probably be huge" (what if they end up doing a Kaiser Chiefs' and the new album gets slated and popularity plummits?!)

As I've been saying in other threads, I wouldn't mind these bands flooding the top of the mainstage bill if the second stage wasn't similarly populated, I imagine this year will be much of the same (proove me wrong Melvin!). Id love to see any bands like Megadeth, Nightwish, Machine Head, f*ck it Id even take Nickelback as a second stage alternative to the Arctic Monkeys
