Any room for New Order on the lineup?

Like the title says, Is there any room for New Order on the lineup?

[mrtourette]

No, unfortunately not.

If only. What we could have had this year:

But instead we're subject to a screeching ginger banshee whose fanbase consists of teenage girls and little more. Wait, make that two screeching ginger banshees...

Could always go see them on their tour. Or go to Bestival....

That's what I'm doing anyway. (Not that this has impacted my decision to not bother with Reading, was going to do bestival anyway)

Oh how times change.

In 1989 New Order headlined, and it was considered a dreadful booking by the regulars.

I'd rather have Paramore, this is like watching paint dry

[moz4pm]

shame they aren't playing, would've been an inspired sub. But I have tickets to see them in Manchester next month anyway

Sounds like old man pop-rock mixed with a generic club dance track. I'm extremely glad we didn't get them this year.

As opposed to listening to music ?

I wouldn't exactly call them an inspired sub, they were a more obvious choice than Paramore, and they're also doing quite a few other shows so wouldn't exactly be in high demand.

Im not happy Paramore are subbing again but I think they're probably a better booking on paper than New Order are.

[mrtourette]

A band that subbed two years ago is a better booking than a former headliner that hasn't played since 98, I don't think so

Music owes a lot more to New Order than it does to Paramore. Hardly a weak booking.

[Dan R]

They wouldn't be a weak booking, I just wouldn't have described it as 'inspired' if they were booked.

and unfortunately Paramore will shift a lot more tickets than New Order would.
