Lineup 2015

[gittinsell]

I think that depends on what Linkin Park are doing as Chester Bennington is with them now and he doesn't seem to do both at the same time. Plus would the R+L crowd be interested in them?

Nah you're right, they don't fit Reading's demographic really, would love to see them headline the NME though

Im watching the BBC Music awards. You guys are music fans... can someone please tell me what it is that makes one direction so popular?? They are clearly the biggest band in the world right now and I feel im missing something here, to me they are nothing better then any of the other boy bands.... I don't get it?

What's she supposed to be saying?

What's she supposed to be saying?

My lip-reading isn't the best, but I think she's saying "if you can't see why an act like One Direction are more popular than the quality of their musical output would logically suggest then you must have sleepwalked through the last eight years and have no idea how the modern music industry works, whereas if you do know (which you surely must) but are pretending that you don't because you want to raise a point then do one, stop wasting your time and use it to go and do something more productive".

[Yellow_Fellow]

Such eloquence

[VCK]

The Stone Roses to headline with The Libertines subbing. Would be the ultimate #modferit event.

(To be fair it would be pretty amazing)

Clearly I don't know how the music industry works (Actually I know I don't) and slept walked though the last 8 years. Also what point do you presume I was trying to make about them then?

[Gucci Piggy]

It was an odd question, to be fair. It's the same with all music like that.

Why is Ed Sheeran big enough to play 3 nights at Wembley?

Why does Taylor Swift sell so many records?

Etc.

[the wonderwhy]

Why does Taylor Swift sell so many records?

Coz she's so damn good, duh.

The point you were trying to make is that you don't rate them.

And if you genuinely don't understand why a band of attractive young men singing easily-digestible, bland love songs who have the promotional push of Simon Cowell behind them and the mass media exposure that comes with it are so popular then you need to give me your address so that I can come round to your gaff and repeatedly whip you with a wet towel, because after so long posting on these forums you should not still be so naive/blinkered/clueless.

Downvoted your full stop by accident. Apologies.

"They wouldn't book Ed Sheeran"

Ed has played leeds on multiple occasions

Once.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Before he was """""ed Sheeran"""""

[SamFeeley22]

I stand corrected, got him confused with Bugg, but still, he's a typical example of "let's have some random mainstream act"

Especially if we have some form of more mainstream headliner like Mumfords, but Ed won't be playing this year for the same reason Foo Fighters won't be, too many stadium shows, doesn't need the festivals

[SamFeeley22]

Also Catfish and The Bottlemen will either headline the 2nd stage or be fairly high up on Main Stage

Foos could probably play as well but they're elsewhere that weekend. Ed Sheeran is hardly a 'random mainstream act' (which ain't a thing) - he's a headliner now and one of the biggest pop artists in the world, and his R+L days are gone.

Also Catfish and The Bottlemen will either headline the 2nd stage or be fairly high up on Main Stage

Not that big.

[SamFeeley22]

Catfish just sold out a tour of 2,000 cap venues and are only getting bigger and Ed is a headliner for sure, just not at Leeds, maybe at V or T In The Park but not at Leeds
