And I've just read Slaves have just announced a small venue tour at £1.99 a ticket.

A$AP Rocky has pulled out of Leeds due to 'travel issues'. Wonder if he'll make it to Reading?

what're they gonna do to fill his time? just give people on before/after him longer and make the gaps in between acts lengthier?

Lengthier.

He's gone off the Reading bill and the app just has a big gap where he should be. They might do something about that eventually though.

Well BBC have brought the live stream back this year:

That it does! £46 in Cardiff is very steep though.


Also, didn't Neil say in the Glastonbury section at some point that the band Reading were chasing that fell through was Radiohead?

44.60 including fees, 38 without. I think that's pretty reasonable, if not at least as expected actually.

What horrible things must the people in the crowd have committed in their lives to deserve an extra half hour of The Vaccines?

But those £50 tickets will be rubbish seats which are still too much. The Cure was only £25 for their cheapest seats on their upcoming tour.

Because I didn't want to see RHCP? I was making the point about how extortionate the price is for their tour not about wanting to see them. If I was at Leeds this year I still wouldn't have seen them as Mastodon are on at the same time and I wouldn't even see RHCP for £30. 
And yes better bands are all opinion and my opinion is that Brand New are better. What's the problem?

There isn't one as far as I'm aware.

were Brand New supporting?

Shouldn't make a difference.

BBK getting a better response from the crowd there than most rock acts that play the festival these days.

It's what da kidz like these days. Whitebread guitar bands are uncool, unless you're in a "Pop Punk" band.

I can't really disagree. BBK are not my thing at all but the rock quota they've booked this year is pretty shit. Although bands like DEP, clutch and mastadon are the exception

[lightning1000]

Just watched chvrches on iPlayer, they've seemed pretty good but they'd have definitely been more suited to headlining the NME. 

[dentalplan]

These Twenty One Pilots fans really aren't into Crystal Castles' set.

It has been since about 2011 or 2012, barring last year which was a pleasant exception to the rule.

[Yellow_Fellow]

but that's the point - it's no surprise BBK go down a storm when they're a far more exciting act than the kerrang fodder usually littering the stage

Nme are reporting he is out of both

[dentalplan]

Honestly, that fucking hand sign. I realise now that they booked 21P on the NME because they're gonna give them a high main slot next year.

[VCK]

What's that annoying thing people are chanting during Disclosure's set?

[dentalplan]

"Dicks out for Harambe"?

[dentalplan]

I hope The Foals are as good there as they are on telly.

Seconded. Look and sound brilliant.

No idea how Disclosure will manage to follow that at Leeds tomorrow.
