You are right as only two good artists on the line up prediction. Them being catfish and the bottlemen and the pixies

If this happens I'm going back to sleep after the announcement and praying it was a nightmare

[Yellow_Fellow]

It's a fucking brilliant announcement if true

[supreme]

I hope that announcement is true

[CRW5252]

Is Mac DeMarco actually a possibility? Would love to see him

[Andre91]

That announcement would be awesome! Kanye, Pixies and Major Lazer would be must see.

That would be fucking terrible..

On the other hand, have pixies sub RHCP, let the other headliner be foals and it'll mean I'll only need to bother going for one day this year.

You must be easy please apart from pixies it is the same old acts how did the festival rounds and I think are pretty ordinary ones. There is no one who is a bit different plus yes kayne west has an amazing back catalogue of hits but he was shit at Glastonbury I do not understand people thought he was good. sorry but Rant over now

Ah Pixies don't interest me much now tbh and the thing is, why would R&L book them? They would get a nothing crowd whether subbing or heading NME, MSP had wider appeal when they did it and it wasn't exactly packed out. Agreed with Catfish. 

Yellow does the agreeing with the dickhead announcementa for the reactions haha. You don't take notice when someone calls Kanye relevant and interesting and GNR rubbish lol.

That's what makes me question it, not a Reading type act at all.

Yes please. Not massive on Kanye, but willing to be won over. Big fan of Pixies, Two Door, Major Lazer (who were fantastic at Ally Pally) and M83. Haven't heard Mac Demarco. I like Catfish but they were rubbish last year. They'll probably get a mainstage slot this year which will probably be even worse.

[dentalplan]

Can y'all stop blindly following these one-post wonders? Even if they're right, that's like the third different one this month ffs.

If true, how and why did this festival get so bad?, for the money you pay it's a farcry from the 2000s and early 2010s.

Ah yes... truly the glory days of Reading and Leeds festival. I really miss the days of Razorlight and Franz Ferdinand headlining, 50 Cent and Kaiser Chiefs subbing. 

[FloorFiller]

Kanye, Pixies, Mac DeMarco, Major Lazer, M83. that'd be an ace announcement, although doesn't seem like your typical 'big ticket seller' announcement. Pixies at R/L now seems weird

Bit harsh, lumping Franz in with those lot.

Catfish were fantastic at Leeds

I'll buy you a beer on the weekend if this is accurate. Great anouncement

Don't get me wrong, I like em. To be honest I don't dislike any of them (other than 50 Cent), all I'm saying is that painting prior Reading Festivals as some haven of outstanding bookings is a bit silly. Give it 10 years and people may look back at the past couple of years and long for a time in which the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood, System of a Down played the festival.

It's been 3 years since SOAD last played, but I already long for the year they return.
