Festival Republic Stage

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Good? Bad?

Discuss...

I am very impressed with the line up, really does bring out the bands that will be the future. Whether it is a good line up or not is debatable, but very imppressive indeed. Though I am a bit confused on how Ash is on their, thought the FR stage was meant to be for rising artists? They have been around for a while.

A great selection of new acts, but mostly guitar indie. Would like a bit more variation of genres and a better mix of old and new.

Gutted I'll be missing Ash though.

needed some InMe on the day Ash are headlining :/

Meh...I was hoping for a good headliner to watch on sunday seeing as they're aren't really any so far, but Marina & The Diamonds make me sick. Quite a few decent up and coming bands on there. If you've got time, be sure to check out The Crookes (Friday Leeds/Saturday Reading). Decent band with some good tunes, i'll be watching to support Sheffield's talent

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Well, to be honest, I've only heard of about 5 of the bands on the Festival Republic stage so it might be an chance for me to get up to date with the latest "hip and happening beats"...

...Or something. Meh I don't really care actually.

Warpaint, Atari Teenage Riot and Ash are fantastic bookings. The rest is a bit underwhelming... but thats this years theme i think

[XrtVra]

Giggs, Caribou, Warpaint, Adam Green, Harlem, Egyptian Hip Hop, Minus the Bear

Ill probably watch if no clashes

Saturdays FR is crap, didnt like anyone I listened to really.

The line up on the festival stage in my opinion is pretty good, but by looking at the clashfinders i will barely get to go see any of them :angry:, especially gutted about not going to be able to see Ash.

Amazingly happy. There's a few bands on there that are ones I will probably go see.

I had a problem with Leeds's Saturday headliners... specially as it was Dance Tent day, and I'm not the biggest fan of Dance stuff...

But the FR stage has solved it with British Sea Power. Love loads of their stuff, so should be good.

On a slightly related note... roughly how many people watch the FR stage over the day... and at the headliners?

[robsadler]

not listened to that many of the bands yet but i will do my homework.

usually watch about 6-7 each year on the FR stage but i can't remember ever seeing a headliner.

a bit gutted the soft pack, the national, dinosaur pile up and a few others aren't on it but i'm sure there will be a few gems!

I don't think anyone will match the job Soulsavers did last year. Such an indredible act. Where very very impressive.

I was at least hoping for Julian Casablancas. But ey well.
