Fix The Festival.

[constantnothing]

Biffy out, Rage against the machine in.

Skrillex out, MBV in.

Chase & Status out, The Smashing Pumpkins in.

Replace BMTH with Architects.

Placebo being somewhere on there.

Twin Atlantic out the festival all together.

[luckysalt]

Im not gunna swap out acts, cus it ain't gunna happen, get over it.

Beef up the main stage a bit more.

Add Bat For Lashes, Hurts, Skunk Anansie [could be your FR headliners], The Coral, The Knife

After Download add Gogal Bordello, A Day To Remember, Young Guns, Volbeat & Cancer Bats

Lock Up - Flogging Molly, Tenacious D, Bad Religion, Defeater, Trash Talk, LetLive, Terror, Pennywise, Killswitch Engage, NOFX, Billy Talent, In Flames

some of those may need to get put on Main

[rawaudioinput]

Half of these suggestions just make it sound like you all want to sabotage the festival's sales so it's easier for you to find a space to camp.

Sap Alt-J and Phoenix over and I'd be more than happy with the rest of it.

As it is I don't think I can miss them again, so will have to miss half of Biffy

[insideaway]

Good acts on lock up and fr is pretty much all thats needed. If they throw a couple of hives/mastadon type bokings in the nme announcement.

C+C for Jack White

Luminers(?) for the xx, xx above Foals, Editors up a slot.

Phoenix and azealia for Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine.

I dont get why the suggestions are to have it like the R&L of old?

FR have said the festival is going in a new direction with a new demographic so this is really the best we could of hoped for.

Id love to see the suggestions next year when the festival continues on its road to the Radio1 market by copying the V line up. People will pray for this years lineup then

Most people on here that think it needs fixing are going to Download or Bestival surely?

[kaosmark2]

Surely lol. The thought of Bestival makes me feel ill and Download seems even more impersonal and corporate than Reading. I'll be trying some smaller ones with similar music to R&L.

[mrtourette]

Looking at Boardmasters, Y Not, 2000 Trees and Truck.

[SOAD]

Well I would keep Friday the same except have Alt-J subbing to Skrillex

Saturday I would take out Chase & Status and Brand New and slot Bloc Party and Placebo above Foals and move them and White Lies down. Brand New replace Alt-J as NME headliner for more appropriate alternative to Eminem.

Sunday I would swap Editors and Lumineers and stick Billy Talent under Lumineers and move Hadouken! down a couple slots. Then I would have Chase & Status and Phoenix co headline NME.

[the wonderwhy]

Swap Alt-J & Editors.

1000x better already.

[Benj]

One way to fix Reading would be to reopen the old way into the site from the town.

Changes 3-4 years ago, added an extra 20 minutes or so into the walk in, which is most annoying.

Hopefully the new site layout will address this, as forcing punters to walk an extra 20 mins, to allow just for a guest entrance is taking the piss, just funnel everyone else up the side

[Stylo92]

GREEN DAY OUT, SOMEONE LESS GENERIC IN.

[giantwagon]

The Lumineers out, Editors up a place (or even better, Editors headlining the NME and put Phoenix in that spot on the main)

[VCK]

Firstly, I'd get rid of Chase & Status...

Green Day

System Of A Down

Frank Turner

Deftones

Bring Me The Horizon

New Found Glory

Eminem

The XX

Foals

White Lies

The Lumineers

Editors

Biffy Clyro

Nine Inch Nails

Fall Out Boy

Public Enemy

Brand New

Twin Atlantic

That's a stronger and more consistent looking Main Stage right there.

Editors 6th? Oh God.

[giantwagon]

Editors being below The Lumineers makes me sad
