[JSmurphy]

Reginald D Hunter, Iain Stirling, Jarlath Regan, Iliza Shlesinger added to the Alternative Stage w/ screenings of Cobain: Montage of Heck & Eden. Has anyone actually watched a film screening at R&L? It sounds like it'd be a mess but I've been looking forward to both those films, especially Eden.

Cheer up Leeds, it's not so bad!

Marmozets aren't going to sound great on that main stage, massively too big for them and as she can't really sing anyway it won't be good.

On Werchters mainstage they sounded great, lots of energy. I'm sure they'll do fine 

[JSmurphy]

marmozets are great and fully deserve their slot on main

[dentalplan]

She's better than a lot of the other singers on that stage but of course as a woman she has to be Whitney Houston to be a singer...

[thewayiam]

I only say as I've just listened to her on a bigger stage and it sounded swallowed up compared to inside.

[justanothername]

They'll be reyt

New/old FIDLAR is cool. Catchy as usual.

Speaking of lots of advertising, I'm guessing V is selling terribly. Seen them advertising at Wireless, ads before movies at the cinema, bus stops in my town which is a good 2 hours from the closest site.

Yes trust me V is not selling well at all as you can still buy unlimited tickets through see tickets and gigsandtours websites, see loads of adverts on TV as well,  I do not think you advertise as much if not struggling to sale tickets. Plus last year at Weston park they were campsites that were not open due lack of numbers and felt a bit quiet. When you see the line up I wonder why!

A late increase in advertising usually indicates struggling sales as its a 'big push' idea. If the advertising budget was strong the ass would've been consistent from the start.

[dentalplan]

So nowt to do with festivals being splashed across the TV listings over the past month then?

[rawaudioinput]

Just noticed that Huw Stephens has R+L news on his show tomorrow, probably a BBC Introducing announcement

[JSmurphy]

Just finished listening to Modestep's new album it sounds like it'd be great fun live. 

[Bisque]

They were effing awesome at Glasto, was sceptical about the new line up, the new guitarist isn't as good but the rest of the line up were on point.

 

They were epic at Reading a couple of years ago, manic 1/3 into the NME tent.

 

I was right at the barrier too, loads of smallish mosh pits but Glasto is a lot more laid back.

First time at Reading, been to Download & Sonisphere before. What goes on during Wednesday night and Thursday? At download there was loads of stuff on like club nights, comedy & a cinema. Anything decent like this happen at reading? I saw the comedy acts but I've read that they're on during the bands

[theramm]

Mastodon have pulled out

[Andre91]

Mastodon have pulled out

Really? Where has this come from? That sucks. It eliminates a bit of a clash for me though.

[justanothername]

Fuck

[justanothername]

The Dillinger Escape Plan and Deafheaven are over here in August. Just convince one of them to stay an extra week and get them to replace Mastodon

[Bisque]

What goes on during Wednesday night and Thursday?

Nothing really, the only thing I remember was the Oxfam tent on Thursday which is in a marquee & is always packed with a big queue (sneaked in under the tents side panel one year), I don't even think the silent disco is open until Friday, I didn't go last year though.

 

I normally take my boom box, iPod & iTrip for a bit of background campsite music. Livens up the evenings a bit.

I keep forgetting Royal Blood exist now they're not bombarding me with energy drink riffs every time I put the telly on. Is it possible that the R+L exclusivity might have hindered them a little or is it just a case of this being the usual when a band progresses along their tour and hype shifts?

[kaosmark2]

is it just a case of this being the usual when a band progresses along their tour and hype shifts?

I reckon so.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Dan P Carter has basically said there's not going to be a replacement.

I see this causing some clashes for me, I had a few near misses that day.
