The Jack Rocks tent at TRNSMT was way too small. It was rammed all day with people queuing outside to get in. I heard it will be at Leeds but with different bands.

Yeah It was

I'm pretty sure Jack Rocks was at Reading last year. IIRC it was just before you entered the arena, coming from the campsites. I saw big ques and heard it was '1 in, 1 out' so I didn't bother.

That was the Jagerhaus stage. Caught Get Inuit there who were great but it was a very odd little venue. That much effort on visuals is very out of place at Reading!

The one bit of good news about them not replacing PWR BTTM and Big Jesus on the Lock-up is that there are now only 10 bands as opposed to the 14 on Festival Republic stage, means that there's less chance of a Breaking Benjamin/Ash clash.

Late night alternative stage additions. Some performances for Leeds, some DJ sets for Reading.

Big coup for Leeds with the Foals DJ set, and saves me buying tickets for Brit Project

You were gonna chuck £30 in purely for the Foals DJ set?

Spring King and Toy as well, but the DJ set was the main selling point.

Are we expecting any more announcements now (other than the small stages outside the arena e.g. Jagerhaus, Jack Rocks etc.)? Was kinda expecting to have gotten an extra act or two on the sunday mainstage by now.....

[footix2]

You'll get the BBC Introducing and Dance to The Radio (Thursday at Leeds) announcements probably in August.

There's normally a decent band or 2 on the DTTR stage every year.

Leeds also has the Relentless stage to be announced which is like another 16/17 acts, and that was announced on the 9th of August last year, so expect an announcement again in the next 15-20 days or so.

The addition of Royal Republic seems to complete the main stage line-ups, and knocks on the head any notion of a biggish act playing an opening set.

NME Stage is still an act short on Reading Friday/ Leeds Saturday.

Lock up is two acts short?

FR is one short at Leeds on the Saturday, and one short Reading Saturday / Leeds Sunday.

[Andre91]

Royal Republic are a properly rubbish band. And the fuck are VANT playing third up. That's ridiculous. They are a tiny band.

Checked last year's thread and Relentless was announced on 8 August, and BBC Introducing and DTTR on 10 August.

Shame it's royal republic not Royal Blood

This is my 1st time going to a festival, I'm from Manchester and was wondering if anyone could advise me on how they Would get home? Only going on the Friday & also how long approx does it take to get out of the festival?

[Peskybee]

So this could be purely coincidence but I follow Reading and Leeds on Spotify and it says they were recently listening to Tyler, The Creator. I'm not 100% sure but I've only seen them listen to bands which are on the Reading and Leeds line up. Could this mean a potential secret set?

I think you're clutching at straws there. I mean that'd be one way to leak a set but chances are the person using the account just wanted to listen to the new album. Anyway he's still banned from the UK for at least another year so there is that as well

Probably want to allocate 45 mins from the point you decide to leave the site to get to the train station.

Leeds gets HMLTD? What the fuck? They're from fucking London, why on earth aren't they on Reading's lineup?

They don't seem to put live acts on Reading's Alternative Stage after hours but at Leeds they do. Might be something to do with noise, idk. They should definitely have been given a proper dual-site slot during the day's proceedings though.

Assuming its to do with the fact Reading has a curfew (11pm i think?) but at Leeds they don't
