Suprised by the lineup on Cure day.

Well they didn't reform but they did reunite with a former member. Just look at them, massive bunch of emos, but they have been doing it since the 70s, way before it was the cool thing to do.

Another cure update. After not wanting to see them I have now downloaded their greatest hits and listening to it 24/7. Cant wait to see them now. Readings going to be gone mad on FRIDAY!

I don't think it's that bad a day - far better for my tastes than the Kasabian day - really struggle to find more than a couple of bands I'd want to see there.

For the Cure day, Paramore is a decent booking on paper and I'd give them another chance (agreed 2010 was poor, even though I really like them on record). Same with A&A - terrible last time they played. Coheed, Cancer Bats and Deaf Havana are worth a listen. It's just BBC and Crystal Castles that I'm not keen on. Need the lock up that day to plug a few gaps, but overall a decent rocky day. Not as good as the MCR day last year*, but worth a punt!

Struggle a bit on the Foos day too - would only really watch Gaslight, Bullet and All Time Low in between, as I'm too lazy to move.

*Up to the end of Offspring, then saw 30STM for the missus' benefit, then home!
