Confirmed Lineup

[kaosmark2]

People are saying Sunday is good but is it really?

Faith No More, if you like them great [i do] but they're aren't a huge booking - Absolutely adore them, felt they were fantastic at Brixton and would love to see them again. If a new album gets announced then I'll definitely be going.

Marilyn Manson - been awful at festivals for years - Heard that many a time, but never seen, so it's still mildly tempting.

Incubus - been awful at festivals for years - See Manson.

Refused - big reunion act, granted, fair enough - Quite.

The Blackout - good upcoming act - Meh, respectable.

Andrew WK - please, that was 10 years ago he was propping up the bottom of festival line ups, thats all he's ever done, im WAY over it, and yes I saw him at Reading in 2002, he was good, but I don't get the big deal about him - Don't give a damn personally.

Mastodon - solid rock band but played Soni to death, fair enough playing an album in full is a good booking. - Only festival appearance, sold out their tour quickly (I missed out), and absolutely love them.

There's not enough overall to get me there.

Id like to see Wolfmother, Refused, Faith No More, Cypress Hill and Lacuna Coil rest im not fussed about.

Glad those who are going like it. I'll shut up now!

[kaosmark2]

Meh! May get a Sunday tix soley for Refused but on that day it's only Faith No More & Cypress Hill I would see, Incubus & Manson were horrible the last time I saw them and Andrew WK & Blackout do nothing for me.

There are so many other acts like At The Drive, Frank Turner, Korn, Offspring, Placebo, Gogol Bordello, Skindred, Dream Threatre that they could of got to convince me to have gone even with ther average headliners

[pryce]

saying that i would be going sunday

i forget i dont like incubus

ive seen faith no more, love them but dont have too see them

its only Mastodon and Refused both i havent seen

but Refused could still play optimus alive so i shouldnt jump the gun

[thegremlin_1999]

That's a shocking lineup. FNM is ok, but I've seen em and I'm not that bothered again. Mastodon are always ace. Erm yeah, that's it. Kiss are fun first time round I suppose, but again I've seen em and have zero interest in watching again.

So yeah. Shite

I'm quite liking it, it's not too much of the same old, - I do wonder who will be the Kiss special guest. i know it says Minchin's the comedy headliner but The Darkness are there too.

If the Skrillex leak was right then maybe we do still have some big hitting DJs - I can't see Skrillex playing before Kiss - which means maybe the Red Bull tent gets bigger - good half the time it was too packed to get in the thing! Or there's somewhere there putting DJs this year. And Fields Of The Nephilim nail it for me - superb!

[AcademicPistol]

The win is Downloads!

[jump]

Much as I love Placebo, they were there only 2 years ago? Wouldn't that then lead to complaints about rebooking?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Gonna try snag a Sunday ticket.

[gazza_20]

whats the chances of Papa Roach still appearing?

[5co77ie]

'course Friday's guest will be Motley Crue

You like the line up Gaz?

Only person Ive seen like it is Kipper [no shock there] and my Bro in Law but he loves KISS.

I'm quite chuffed with it - ticks more boxes for me than Download (which, although it is good, has too many I've seen recently) - to be fair Soni has a lot I've seen too, but not as recent, plus a good few I haven't seen and would be worth a look.

I was just naming acts I thought would be around this time and I'd like for myself but you got Mastadon & Gojira who played last year as repeat bookings.

[Guy Rope Tripper]

nah I'll not be back down this year. Already going to see Andrew WK on his tour, not much interest in the rest.

[hardygra]

I like the line up. Been a massive Queen fan for years, it will be a great sing-a-long.

Always wanted to see Kiss, great excuse to build a Gene Simmons costume and have fun wearing it.... and I missed FNM at D/L 2009, couldn't make it. FNM are the first rock band I got into... so I have a reason to see them all..

MM was shit when I saw him Manchester 2 years ago.... great headliners, questionable under card.

Honestly man, it's pretty shit except for Saturday I think and that's pushing it. Friday is fuck all for me and Sunday has Manson who I was willing to give another go. Refused and Andrew WK I would've seen but not worth my dough.

[AcademicPistol]

Try the Reading & Leeds 2012 thread, there's 280+ people on there at the mo.

[gazza_20]

Big respect for having the balls to call it like it is.

Which do you prefere now? Download or Sonis line up? I guess neither enough to go to either.

[AcademicPistol]

There is always R&L Gaz... bless he was hoping for a cracker.
