2013 Lineup

Emily Eavis says The Stone Roses won't be at Glastonbury next year.

Surely this increases their chances of playing Reading and Leeds?

I fucking hope Stone Roses are at IOW, the major reason their last few shows worked was because of the atmosphere which wouldn't be repeated at R&L as the kids wouldn't know any of their songs.

I don't think there would be an issue over young people not knowing the songs. They are pretty big.

I think the major issue is that anybody who wanted to see them last year could quite easily have done. thetime is right in saying that there would be little point to having them play without new material, and considering the amount of time they have spent touring I think it is unlikely they would have a new album ready for next summer.

Perhaps festival organisers and acts are getting a bit clever in not leaking bands. For years and years efests have been spot on with information about rumours, in the last year you cant say that especially reading.

I think you're over estimating the R&L crowd, alot of them wouldn't have been born when they split unless they are from Manchester where it's compulsory to like them.

Fans go and see their favourites bands as much as they can even if they saw them 12 months ago just like Foos.

[jump]

Im unsure about this, does it matter when a band was around for people to like them? Joy division are one of my faves and I wasnt around(might of been at nursery though) when they were.

What was the cure crowd like?

I disagree that the Stone Roses wouldn't go down well at Reading. Without trying to sound like a dick i'm 18 and me and a lot of my friends love them, even though I was -5 when they released their first album, and I think a lot of people my age are like that also.

Although Neil has ruled them out for Reading on the glasto forums (something melvin said apparently) so I don't know why we're arguing.

Melvin Benn has said that they aren't playing R&L, so does that increase their chances of playing Glastonbury?

There's been a sudden surge of bandwagon jumpers since they reformed, 15 year olds who call themselves 'mods' and wear Fred Perry and Topman gear. They seem to bee the biggest fans ever of all the Northern Indie bands, even though they probably weren't interested in that kind of music two years ago. So I think they would go down well at Reading and Leeds.

As much as I love the Roses, can you imagine a day like this?

The Stone Roses

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Miles Kane

The Enemy

^ I'd love a day like that although I'm not a 15yr old jump on the indie bandwagon-er

[VCK]

Its a scary thought, although im afraid it would sell tickets.

[thetime]

Do people want the stone roses, would of thought people would of seen them this year and moved on.

[kaosmark2]

Nope.

[chriseede]

It would. I just recommend you all bring a poncho even if the weather that day is scorching, because you're bound to be drenched in flying cups of piss!

Roses, yes, Noel, I'd see for the Oasis classics although I think his High Flying Birds is overrated.

Can't stand The Enemy though, apart from Gimme The Sign just because it reminds me of a Manics song. And really not into Miles Kane, I find him too gimmicky with the whole "mod revivalist" thing.

It astounds me how people think Miles Kane is innovative when all he does is try and replicate that whole 60s sound. Same with Jake Bugg for that matter, really don't see the fuss. He's like Paolo Nutini after he's inhaled a load of helium and had studio effects dubbed over his music to give him that "authentic" 60s sound, yet all the Topman kids have latched onto him just because he has the whole, ahem, mod look.

Do people actually reckon No Doubt will play? I listened to their new songs the other day and it sounds just like her solo stuff. Nothing like being suited to R+L.
