choosing between Foo Fighters and Common dreads in full will be the toughest decision of my life ?

It's a good line up, the sunday has to be the best day lineup since god knows?

It's the best day for me since the Metallica day in 2015. I can't wait.

At least one person on here must have seen it!

Aye reckon Shikari will open then main stage and headline the pit. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Pit ended early that night before Foos start, similar to what happened with JEW in 2014.

but then you'll get the clash with ADTR which is even more of a similar fan base

Again, that's another good way to get people to tune into his show.

100%. I've seen the Foos before and it was decent but I'm in no rush to see them again. There's very few bands I'd choose to see over Shikari

Meh, it’s probably a similar crossover in fanbeses. Probably wouldn’t be too much of a clash either, say Shikari end 5 mins before Foos then theyd mainly be playing in the changover time between ADTR and Foos.

Teddy I think he said, not any of the big acts.

I've seen shikari twice this tour and about 9 times all together and no other band comes close imo. but i've never seen Foo's before so it's tough. Maybe i'll catch the last hour of foos if pit ends at like 10.30? Common Dreads is a beast of an album.  

[JSmurphy]

FWIW I checked in with a friend of a friend this morning who's close to Enter Shikari and he isn't aware of any plans to make it Common Dreads in full. Just a continuation of their recent setlists which are full of that album anyway. 

*Their Download set is just a regular set too.

hmmm so what would differentiate the sets? 

[JSmurphy]

I imagine the first will look more like https://www.setlist.fm/stats/average-setlist/enter-shikari-53d6d375.html?tour=7bd7ce34 and the latter https://www.setlist.fm/stats/average-setlist/enter-shikari-53d6d375.html?tour=63d0ca0b.

You think we are getting two 1.5/1.25 hour sets then?

Nah it’ll likely be 2 45-50 min sets.

Frank Carter being added to the Sunday makes it tempting for me, although I'd be much happier if The Distillers would just announce their own UK show so I don't have to go Reading. I've seen Foo enough times (including last year for free ) so I could miss it but if they had Royale Blood switched with ADTR I'd go regardless.

I think they'll get an hour to open the Main Stage as they'll be a 'special guest' opener and then they'll get maybe an hour on The Pit.

Yeah i can see that, hopefully they will get a big crowd in the morning. Thought pit headliners got longer than that? actually nah i saw Neck Deep and they got an hour i think. 

Probably will see both shikari and foos then as i'd imagine shikari will finish between 10.30/11.

Rob Rolfe liked my tweet about them opening main stage and headlining pit with common dreads if that helps things.

Pretty Standard Line up they've changed a lot from last year there are some bands who completely deserve there place such as Frank Carter and some people like Mura Masa and Blossoms who are abit small to headline Radio 1 and sub  Happy about the likes of Lil UZi vert & Lil baby

I watched their video and he did mention some rapper called Teddy, never heard of him.

Nothing, Nowhere has Reading Sat/Leeds Sun on his site.

Ten Tonnes is doing GSS on Sunday so will do Reading Fri/Leeds Sat.

The sets will be different to the ones on tour at the minute, drop the piano songs, change the quickfire and remove a few of the slower songs and add a few classic hits. Main stage set will likely be full of hits and super high energy to bring people to the pit set where they'll play a lot more common dreads songs. 

Speaking to the band Sunday anyway, I'll ask them.

I’m not really too knowledgeable in that genre but, are A Day to Remember sub worthy?
