Dizzee Rascal

[Englishdragon]

Now I dont mind him playing the festival. The last couple of times I've seen him I though he was good but

3rd from the top, really.......

He has been popular because he was the alternative act during the day that worked with the crowd. 3rd from top is a very important role and I just carnt understand why MF decided to go with him there.

[Role Model]

pretty bonkers i think

[scottt]

Id say hes as big as Maximo Park, The Fratellis and The Raconteurs.

[wheres the mudfight]

he's been pretty solid at Reading over the years, had a couple of number 1 singles etc. probably more well known to most people than Arcade Fire tbh.

I just think its a strange act for 3rd top

3rd top is the band that gets the crowd going at the start of the evening stage. People have had tea and are starting to get positions for the headliner and sub. Just dont see how Dizzee fits in in comparison with other years

Check him out and you will see why he is where he is. He will get the crowd going more than most artists. Seen him 3 times now (twice at Reading) and he always gets the crowd pumped.

[Dirty Boots]

Has been brought in to appease the fair weather festivallers.

agreed reading and leeds need to fix up.

Meh, I'll be there enjoying myself not moaning about who does and who doesn't deserve a certain spot.

[jwb_2009]

Exactly, Should be amazing

Florence as well anyone?

[ashleybull]

He was at V last year, and the crowd was huge, bigger than most other acts.

No problem playing that high up

[hombrederayo]

Ive seen him 4 times, just dont think he deserves the 3rd from top spot.

Placebo, Ash, libertines, Incubus, Queens Of The Stoneage, Razorlight, My Chemical romance, Yeah Yeah yeahs, The Streets, Lost Prophets, Maximo Park, Block Party, The Fratellis, The Raconteurs, Feeder

Doesnt really go with those bands does it.

[likelyladtom]

3rd from top is probably about right. Doesn't change the fact I can't stand him and that Bonkers 'song' though.

[Poop_Pants]

If he stuck with his gritty songs live i would be happy, knowing he will sing alot of this crap from his new album ill be pissed off.

[olly!olly!olly!]

Will probably go, depending on what time Frank Turners set finishes on NME. And if theres any sign of who 'special guest' is

[PurpleFire]

Going to see him, then will have a quick stroll over to the NME for the most exciting part of the festival for me! Enter Shikari and then to follow Pendulum....Its will be amazing with both the Cribs and Maccabees aswell before Dizze. Great days music for me.
