Lineup 2015

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah, they did. Foos were down for 3 but only played 2 and a half on the day.

[jonodillieono]

I thought 2.5 hours was a legends slot? The only artist in memory getting that was Foos in 2012 but still

Each year up until 2012 only one headliner got 2 hours and the others would get around 90 minutes

Will limp bizkit and mumford clash?

[jonodillieono]

Good, should get to here the full wilder minds album (best album of the year imo). Metallica for 2 hours sounds just as good. 

Mumford & Sons didn't have to be awful. A British neo-folk band, liberally applying the trappings of Americana, they made big songs well-suited to big stages, and they made them about as well as possible. But awful they were, nonetheless, a band so determined to be huge that they willed themselves into anonymity. Their latest effort, Wilder Mind, is a "rock" record in the least interesting sense of that word—a pastiche of the genre’s most common elements, from big percussion, electric guitars, and warm synths, to poignant but ultimately surface-level lyrics. It has all the elements of radio-friendly 2015 American rock'n'roll, with very timely nods to Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but what it’s lacking in is any kind of originality, or message—and most importantly, it’s lacking in banjo, the only thing that ever set the band apart from the bro-rock horde in the first place. With the production help of James Ford (member of Simian Mobile Disco, and producer for Arctic Monkeys) and Aaron Dessner of the National, the band has successfully created perhaps the most adequate commercial rock album of 2015. It’s fine. But fine is nowhere near good, and, when the music is this empty, it might actually be worse than bad.

They will probably overlap a little bit

It's there, search Reading and Leeds Festival, you choose which festival you're going to once you open it.

And it is. Apparently just searching reading festival wasn't sufficient. Cheers

I'd forgotten about Limp Bizkit. Probably go see a chunk of them now for the hell of it.

Yellow looks like he founded a prog rock band.

This overstates their ability and quality by a fair margin.

[JSmurphy]

Nothing really stands out from the set times so far for me, I don't dislike Mumford but gotta give props to those who're going to stomach a two hour set from them..

 

Suddenly hopeful that Alt-J / Limp Bizkit clash won't happen, had it written off as a dead cert till now so if they don't it'll really be a bonus.

Looks like it won't be much of a clash if any at all now. Last 15 mins of Alt J maybe.

Modern Baseball cancel due to anxiety and despression issues. Was so looked forward to these guys!

There's currently a tour poster doing the round on Twitter which says BMTH have shows in November, with support from Neck Deep and PVRIS.

Edinburgh Corn Exhange- Nov 25

Doncaster Dome- Nov 26

Cardiff Motorpoint Arena- Nov 27

London Alexandra Palace- Nov 28

I'm guessing that would be an initial tour with more arena dates coming in 2016.

Gorgon City moved up to Tyler's slot

[oneoftherest]

Dyou reckon they'll replace Modern Baseball?

[JSmurphy]

So frustrating that the set times for each stage get released one day at a time, can't plan for shit when I leave tomorrow only knowing Main Stage / NME. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I got a notification from the app this morning saying times were up but it's still just main.
