NME Cover

This is ironic right? I mean Download isn't known for its diversity as a festival is it?

Only band i want to see on the leak is AFI and hopefully they will do a tour.. May as well call it NME Festival

[t8yman]

It's more diverse than the radio friendly garbage on offer at reading this year (if that leak is accurate) It looks like the back of a f*cking "Now that's what I call music" CD.

So for anyone to lazy to go through the photo reel... I think here are the bands they have - correct me if I've missed anyone...

Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, KOL, Kaiser CHiefs, Placebo, Bloc PArty, Prodigy, Lost Prophets, Vampire Weekend, Brand New, Glasvegas, The Gossip, Florence and the machine, gallows, fall out boy, jamie t, gaslight, AFI

I'm quite liking that so far although nearly all of those have been there within the last 2 years so I've seen nearly all of them at least once before!?

Look at this years lineup compared to Readings so far. Go...

[funkymp]

hurrah! the anti-nme comments in threads have started already! we just need the usual 'why are so many tickets on ebay', 'this is the worst lineup ever (but i bought tickets)' and the 'i just bought tickets off www.readingticketsonsalepleasesendmoneytonigeria.com are they legit?' and it's back to being the same as every other year!

[dan666]

well them 3 headliners seem easily as similar as KoL and Arctics are to each other and I think radiohead is probably the most outlandish band big enough to headline in the world.

Does not matter about Headliners does it. Its the overall lineup really. And Readings this year just does not cut it for me.
