Bit of a mixup with the dates?

[JAnderson]

Okay so eFests had it down like this..

---------------Fri------Sat------Sun

Reading: Muse Strokes MCR

Leeds: Strokes MCR Muse

meaning most acts play Leeds first and then move on to Reading.

Yet Noah and the Whale have confirmed to play the opposite way round (Reading Friday followed by Leeds on Saturday).

This means that, at least, the dates eFests have are wrong, providing Noah and the Whale haven't made a cock up with their dates.

Hmm...

I put him down as more of a young David Seaman myself.

I thought it was the way NATW put it, Leeds always play a day after, with the Reading Sunday playing Leeds Friday. GNR played Friday in Reading last year, and I'm pretty sure they played Sat in Leeds :/

So-

Reading

Fri: Muse

Sat: Strokes

Sun: MCR

Leeds

Fri: MCR

Sat: Muse

Sun: Strokes

I think Leeds is better off this way, I'd much rather open with MCR and close with Strokes.

Ideally it would be MCR, Strokes, MUSE in my opinion.

Oh my bad. I hope Muse play the Saturday, though. I wanna open up with Strokes (because I will die waiting for them otherwise) and close with MCR, cause I've just got the feeling they will put on an amazing set to silence the critics.

I've actually only just spotted that. Anybody know why they switched?

[eFestivals]

I don't guarantee anything about the days those rumoured headliners are listed for. The days are a guess, nothing more.

[Bisque]

I would have thought Muse would be Sunday at Reading for the '2 hour slot'. Would be a great way to end the festival & get MCR out of the way IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the "bigger" act of the weekend played Sunday Reading to close the fest. Not sure where I heard that from.

Sunday @ Reading is more often than not the heavy/alternative headliner.

[Bisque]

Like GNR last year?

[mrtourette]

GNR were by far the biggest of the headliners last year but played Leeds on the Sunday. In 2008 Metallica played Reading on Sunday and they were the biggest, in 2009 it was Radiohead which I suppose fits as well.

Interesting Fact of the day, in 1999 Leeds fest ran a day later than Reading meaning that Reading went Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Leeds went Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Thank f**k they realised this was a stupid way to do things.
