Lineup 2014

[The Placid Casual]

Calm down im only playing with you.

Haha

[the wonderwhy]

Arctic Monkeys are certainly more popular amongst the average R&L goer than Muse, I'd say they're possibly on par with Foo Fighters, people love Dave Grohl for some reason.

Either way I'd say Arctic Monkeys are the biggest (realistic) band they could get next year & I'm pretty sure they'd sell a lot of day tickets, but every year it seems people make bold claims "Muse" "Foo Fighters" "the Cure" "Eminem" have all been "guaranteed" by people on here to sell out day tickets , the reality I think was slightly different...

Nobody ever said The Cure would sell out day tickets.

Eminem probably will sell his day, although they can always add more tickets to that if they think they're not gonna sell out weekend tickets, so its difficult to tell I guess.

[Yellow_Fellow]

The Cure guaranteed selling out day tickets? Hahaha!

The general public are too tasteless for them

or maybe they like having fun live heh heh heh

[Com Truise]

Calm down im only playing with you.

Sorry I was in a bad mood already anyway, just sayin though, I tend to exaggerate don't take everything I say at face value

I found a large space near the front and used it up by dancing away! You decide how much fun you have during a band

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Nobody ever said The Cure would sell out day tickets.

Errm I assure you they did. I remember the conversation well. So pipe down.

In fairness the Cure had the worst under card I've ever seen at R&L. (Not that they would have sold it out anyway, just that it didn't help I'm sure.)

[Yellow_Fellow]

also, my ideal 2014

QOTSA subbed by Smashing Pumpkins

Kanye West subbed by Paramore

Arctic Monkeys subbed by Enter Shikari

IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Well you had a conversation with a moron then. Anyone with any sense knew they'd never sell out, the other 3 were clearly possible.

it helps a lot when the band are even a little more exciting than The Bore

I take it you went to see The Maccabees then? You missed a hell of a show

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Well that was kind of my point, every year someone claims one of the headliners will sell out day tickets & it hardly ever happens.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make...

Kanye subbed by Paramore, my favourite artist in the world subbed by my least favourite 'artist' ... urghguh

I should start and use smilies...

Yeah

[Yellow_Fellow]

Sleigh Bells, don't regret a thing. They brought the tent down.

Nothing, other than The Cure seemed out of place in your list as it was evident they'd never sell their day out whilst the others you mentioned all stood a chance.

[the wonderwhy]

The Cure were easily of the band of the weekend last year for me. Great fun & a near perfect set list. Then I saw their Rio setlist...

[PDAD]

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if i missed The Cure

Well as I say, those are the conversations I remember. Some fan boys fail to except/see the truth I guess.

With regards to the Maccabees, I like them but last time I saw them they bored me. I wouldn't have chosen them over the Cure in a million years.

To be fair, there were a few songs i was upset they didnt play last year...Fascination Street, Never Enough, amongst others..

Didn't stop it being fricking awesome.

Fucking hell, just seen that Rio setlist!

Couldn't miss this personally.

[PDAD]

Couldn't miss this personally.

Yeah well it certainly beats Maccabees.

Anyone but The Cure and i'd have cared

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

The Cure's Leeds setlist was brilliant, but when I saw them at Optimus Alive the month before it was pure perfection.

The cure are not popular in the UK anymore, the youth just don't like them... (i'm a youth too so I understand this!)

Arctic Monkeys (with how situations are going), are the big band for next year. If reading does what I think they should do, "book them on a festival exclusive next year" closing the sunday. It will be massive, Glastonbury is gonna pulse them back into the public eye, next year Arctic Monkeys are gonna be THE act every festival wants. Just like Mumford & sons were this year...

I'm a 'youth' & they're my favourite band.

They're popular enough to headline festivals, that's all that matters.
