mmmmm very strange.

[coma girl]

Hope you're right, I was disapointed they hadn't been added to the line up so far

[moss265]

Awesome, they were great last year

[FiestaDave]

fingers crossed your right. last year was brilliant.

[martin17coventry]

i think i'm going to go the hmv anyway. does anyone know if its far from the festival? (leeds)

[rivalschools.price]

great addition,as there are so few bands who played in the last couple of years playing at this years festival.

[NikNik]

Would absolutley love this. Seen then a few times before and watched alot of there set last year. Have got tickets to see them in Birmingham in December anyway but another viewing of would be much appreciated. I take it they will be playing the Sunday at Reading?

nice addition if it's true, readinglover - it would still be secret , the people at Leeds wouldn't know about the Reading secret slot ?

[moz4pm]

my mate is shooting leeds fest for nme, if cribs are playing a secret set, he'll know about it and he'll let me know, as soon as he finds out he'll tell me and i'll post information on here

[Chris12345]

Yeah, these secret sets are the worst kept secrets ever... don't think there's ever been one that hasn't leaked before the festival?

[Lithium05]

If true it's a fail. There's enough flash in the pan trendy bollocks as it is without this bunch of useless c*nts taking the line-up to new levels of mediocrity. Surely there's not the room for them and TCV.

[Chris12345]

The Cribs are f**king quality... a step above most of that genre!

Have you actually given them a chance Lithium?

[Sparticus]

I like the energy of a cribs show, didn't think much to their last album though. With mcr and them crooked vultures as strong rumours right now i'd much rather it was them

[NikNik]

A group that have been together since 2001 and are about to release their 4th album are hardly flash in the pan whether you like them or not.

[robsadler]

i've seen them a few times but they are one of those bands who i'd see every time i get the chance.

brilliant live, get the fans going and put everything into their live shows.

are they really "trendy bollocks" or is that the term given to anything that isn't metal?

[wilko8]

lithium, two questions.

Is there anyone, apart from yourself and your own frequently vented self important opinions, that you do not find infuriating or irritating?

What would you do if, in some remarkable turn of events, your all time favourite band were on the cover of nme or featured in their cool list? Would you stop liking them and dismiss them as nme tripe or would you swallow your pride, keep listening and watching them and admit that it's personal taste and the music that matters and nothing about nme is important.

[robsadler]

nme are muppets!

who cares about their stupid poles and who is the 'greatest drummer ever'? or 'the best hair do in rock ever'?!

they don't seem to try hard to be on these kind of lists but seem incredibly grounded and normal, although slightly mad.

i have no idea how trendy they are as i tend to stay away from trends.
