mumford and sons

and speak with a different accent too, don't forget.

I'm getting weirded out by how many posts I'm making on this subject.

This thread was better when it was talking about beards.

The frontman of CAKE has a beard, playing UK soon and have a new album so there's a small chance they could play.

Wayne Static has a beard. He looks like a mental young Michael Eavis. Band on hiatus though.

My last name is Beards and, following fevered speculation, I can confirm I will be at Reading this year, but I won't be a festival exclusive.

To avoid confusion are you not an english exclusive or not an UK exclusive before the confusion starts?

i notice a lot of people on here are getting excited about the possibility of mumford and sons playing R/L.

i really cant believe that they have managed to pull the wool over so many peoples eyes.i swear my mum and dad(who are in their seventies) have been listening to this music for years.the only difference is that it is played by old fogies in empty pubs instead of trendy looking youngsters in festivals.

i can't believe that no-one else has noticed.

the rest of my mums collection consists of the likes of susan boyle and neil diamond,maybe the record label will find some young versions of them and somehow get NME to give them some credibility so they can play the festivals,ha ha

Agreed. They're so...AVERAGE. boring. It's not that they sound like older or "folky" bands that I have a problem with at all, it's just that they're not particularly good.

Mumford & Sons do have beards!

i found it disgusting that mumford & sons are bummed by every little skins watching cretin, yet half of them dont have the patience to give Arcade Fire a proper listen. Proof if there needs to be proof that the radio has brainwashed.

No doubt Brother and the other britpop revival dross will be big this summer because of the constant hype and radio play.

Why people can't discover music via other methods is beyond me. Doesn't bother me too much though, music is a personal experience in my eyes, and im grateful of my electic music taste.

It is totally moronic to keep generalising like this. Matticus; I like arcade fire and Mumford. Taste is subjective. And you can't insult people that have different taste to you, because there is no right music to listen too.

Radio one listeners and NME readers atleast listen to and enjoy music and that is the point.

The way people put others into boxes on here, I think their heads would explode if I shared my very mixed tastes.

[JohnsonWHU]

Understand your point, Im not a fan at all, dont think you demonstrated it too well though.

Any news on these?

[mrtourette]

I'm going to laugh my arse off if they don't get announced.

[Joe-]

I'm going to rejoice when they don't get announced.

[Englishdragon]

Id put a large amount of money on them being NME headliners

[jump]

Maybe TheHedgehog was right that they would only sub or headline and the reason they aren't playing is becuase they are headlining Bestival.
