VCK Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 A lot of performances that people remember fondly seem to be by headliners or 2nd headliners. But what other acts do you feel have put on good performances when you've been to Reading or Leeds? I fondly remember: Belle & Sebastian - 2006 Primal Scream - 2006 Bloc Party - 2007 Feeder - 2008 Manic Street Preachers - 2008 Eagles Of Death Metal - 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally_ Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 QOTSA were great at Leeds last year, ended up watching them by myself as me mates had fannied out and gone to watch Mumford & Sons.. definitely made the right decision! Also agree with whoever said Weezer, surprise of the weekend for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNovember Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Foals last year, probably my favourite gig ever. I've only been the last 2 years, but I haven't been too fussed about any of the headliners besides Arcade Fire, so my previous highlights have been: Delphic (both years but particularly 09), Surfer Blood and Yeasayer last year, the Big Pink and The Chapman Family on FR in 09. Hopefully this year, The National, Interpol and Warpaint can add to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 SOAD - Leeds 2003 - absolutely amazing set, before the secondary barrier as well so the crowd was nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 02 White Stripes 03 AFI 04 Jurassic 5 05 Arcade Fire 06 Gogol Bordello (Bedouin Soundclash were a close 2nd) 07 Big D & The Kids Table 08 Gaslight Anthem (on Lock Up when they were unkown is still the best time I've seen them) 09 Faith No More (had more fun with Sonic Boom 6 though) 10 Weezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexclark Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I totally forgot about Limp Bizkit in 2000 and Arcade Fire in 2005 both amazing shows that were perfect for the time. Arcade Fire in a tent was just phenomanal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveElNino Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Arcade Fire on the Radio 1 Stage in 2005 is still the stand-out to me, though Weezer on the main last year is definitely up there. Brand New subheadlining the Radio 1 Stage in 2007 was also fantastic, as was The Hold Steady closing the Carling Stage that year. Faith No More in 2009, and Defontes that year were also pretty good.

Sparticus Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 gutted i didnt go last year but making up for it seeing weezer in a week Best show in the tent was faith no more, granted it would have bombed on the main stage (especially since the lineup was very unbalanced in 09), but a fantastic end to the weekend, closely followed by the music, shame these lads are quitting Main stage, I remember less than jake (who should be booked every year!) smashing a afternoon set in 2006, and NIN in 07 was just brilliant (Thought nin and pumpkins back to back was a great booking, even if the crowd was poor in terms of turnout).
