1D would be a disaster as they don't really want all their tickets to go to under 15's, if they could go as they'd have to go with parents.

Would be excellent for day tickets which is the fests biggest earner.

Plus parents would get shit faced buying booze if they knew they had to stand through 1D.

You've not heard of 5ive? You'd probably like them.

Jack White is from one of the biggest bands of the 00's so I don't see it as odd really. He's had plenty of R1 play over the years.

I'll look them up.

If they ever find themselves struggling to get a major ticket seller though, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to book 1D to flog loads of day tickets and a fair amount of weekends too.

I guess, I just found it odd because the tent looked dead throughout the whole thing apart from Seven Nation Army right at the end. He clearly wasn't an act anyone there really knew bar the most famous of songs from TWS.

Can anyone tell me the difference in size of:

TitP & V

vs R&L's arenas?

Just wondered why an open air second stage has never been used to warrant booking bigger or more established acts, replacing or coexisting with the NME tent?

I've not been in 4 years but V is marginally bigger than R&L in sheer square footing

I don't reckon they're that similar, nevertheless I don't think it's impossible that a boyband could headline festivals but the likes of Take That and One Direction are the only ones big enough and would probably rather play their own tours than grab a fee off of V Festival or something. Take That's tour a few years ago made the band like £10m each after tax - they'd only receive a fraction of that for a festival, and One Direction have done or are doing a stadium tour that will be far more lucrative than a fest appearance. Basically what I'm saying is the ones big enough don't need to do it/would command a much higher fee.

I know there's licence laws but why no open air second stage then?

License laws.

More stages than V (so need to consider sound bleed more).

History/tradition.

I heard the legacy of Reading Festival had been destroyed.

Is there just one open air stage at Reading then? I haven't yet been

Just the one large one; there are one or two tiny open air stages.
