Festival Republic Stage

[therefused]

Didn't Albert Hammond Jr headline the FR stage two or three years ago?

Yeah he did but I just thought I'd put the fact that he could do a solo set in the Alternative stage on this post. It wasn't worth a whole new topic. Would be good though.

[Banana Co]

That would be cool...

Slightly off topic but does anyone know where the post was that contained the dates that the next announcements were in 2010? Want to see when approximately we might get a bit more of the festival republic but can't find the post!

I need Battles to play. Missed out on tickets for their ICA gig, and I'm busy on their Heaven gig. Come on Reading, make me a happy person.

Anyone like those.

I was surprised that Cold War Kids weren't in the original announcement, although I think they'd be in the NME/R1 tent not the FR tent. Same with Pulled Apart By Horses.

Best Coast.

[Poppington]

yes, 2007.

[therefused]

pulled apart by horses would be cool early nme.

I wouldn't mind some Silversun Pickups

[micawber]

Yes. But, wouldn't they be more of a lock-up type band?

[timonweels]

i would love silversun pickups and it says on the website that they're working on a third album! This excites me.

I think festival republic suits them better than lock up for some reason... Or maybe even opening the main stage on friday?

[jump]

They DID play the lock up last time (I think), but I'm not fussy.

[Leyser]

I would prefer them in the tent, opening main would be not as good

[timonweels]

lazy eye in the sunshine would be great, then they should retire to the tent to play the rest of their set...

[haystack]

Silversuns wouldn't suit lock up at all, they would suit an outdoor stage but FR subbing would be equally brilliant. They're not a big NME band so can't see them there.

Sway would be good and different. gutted i missed him when he last played

[timonweels]

it's worth mentioning that Silversun Pickups have played alongside The Horrors before, back in 2009 supporting Placebo on the arena leg of their tour... Which would suggest that, if they are to play, they are likely to sub the FR to horrors, which is great, because i won't have to be anywhere near 30stm singing their sickeningly pretensious "peace" anthems
