Lineup 2015

[mrtourette]

Mmmm Tasty stuff that Melvins opted to go for Metallica. A bit of Glasto copy cat stuff going on here.

Jesus fucking wept upon the cross, how the fucking hell is R&L booking Metallica copying Glasto. They've headlined three times already god damn it. I suppose if Foos headline Glasto next year then whenever they play R&L next it'll be because they're copying Glasto. Or if Arcade Fire headline R&L again it'll be because of Glasto. c**ts.

Bad day?

[mrtourette]

Yes. But there was a band, I can't remember who it was, but a few years ago were claimed as a uk exclusive at reading but played T as well.

I think it's far more likely that people misinterpreted an exclusive claim. The Strokes and MCR were apparently exclusives and everyone shat themselves when they were announced for T, but nothing was ever said about them being UK exclusives. It was just assumed.

[dentalplan]

Ah right! After how desperately we clung onto Dave Grohl's "week at Wembley" comment I shan't read too much into that - these things can be misquoted so easily, after all - but it certainly could be a pointer. Thanks.

Nobody in their right mind genuinely expected seven nights at Wembley Stadium. It was just a nod toward the large shows they are doing.

Bad day?

Announcement day is bad day

[TheSilence]

I don't think Metallica and Linkin Park on the same bill next year is that unlikely. Last time it happened will have been 12 years ago. Most of the people going will have been 4 when that happened- I don't think they'll be annoyed that it'd been done before.

[PDAD]

Solid announcement. Refused are the only act that would excite me, but i'd be happy to see Manchester Orchestra, Metallica and probably Jamie T as well.

Could have been a lot worse.

[DomDom1984]

Jamie T won't sub. I don't get where this idea comes from that he's big enough to do it.

[PDAD]

NME Headline me thinks.

[TheSilence]

I'm thinking Libertines alongside Linkin Park is definitely a possibility and rather likely.

Metallica

Avenged Sevenfold

Royal Blood

The Libertines

Jamie T

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Linkin Park

Fall Out Boy

Weezer

[TheSilence]

Ideally we'd have

Metallica

System of a Down

Royal Blood

Pearl Jam

Smashing Pumpkins

Iggy Pop

Kings of Leon

Pixies

Kaiser Chiefs

Would do me nicely

[dentalplan]

London ticket sales. Despite not selling out the rest of his tour at smaller venues. Will pointed out earlier but nobody had predicted him to sub before he was announced.

Metallica
Avenged Sevenfold
Royal Blood

The Libertines
Jamie T
Catfish and the Bottlemen

Linkin Park

Catfish and the Bottlemen would only just about get 3rd down in NME, never mind main stage.

I think they'd be able to headline NME stage tbh or at least sub it. Tbf though I only put them there as I was struggling to think of someone else to squeeze in there of a similar genre

[TheSilence]

Nah. Definitely not headline it tbf. Reckon they could sub it a la 1975 though.

[dentalplan]

Maybe if R+L booked them for that slot a while back with similar expectations around their success that people here had, me included. I don't think they've lived up to those at all though.

The school of 2013's hyped up new bands seemed to have distributed quite evenly but for 2014 Royal Blood seem to have just absorbed everyone into their gelatinous hype ball.

[TheSilence]

Their most recent tour sold very well I believe.

Is Peace a part of the school of 13? If so I'd say they're definitely the most popular as I can barely remember any others being hyped bar palma violets and swim deep.

I agree. Royal Blood are significantly bigger,than any other up and coming band this year by a country mile.

[Tobieski]

In terms of the reading line up in 2013 The 1975 and Disclosure have undoubtedly become far more successful than Peace have

[TheSilence]

I didn't even think of those two. Wouldn't count Disclosure as the same thing though as they're from the fastest growing genre at the moment arguably.

Jamie T did sell out nearly all his venues pretty quickly as far as I remember..

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I thought Jamie T sold out all his venues.

Rock City went literally in seconds, quicker than London.

I was just having a little joke!

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Most people think Jamie T could sub because he's in the same prevalent spot on the poster as Jake Bugg was last year and nobody expected him to sub either. I don't think he will but won't be all that shocked if he does.

[Amy Lawn]

Can't speak for the second Manchester Academy date, but the first one went very quickly. Speaking of that show, it was total shit, speakers far too quiet to hear anything at all rantrantrant.

[Muppetmark]

Jamie T will also be a relatively cheap sub so hopefully they can spend their money on a better rest of lineup .
