Any idea when or if Leeds usually sells out of weekend tickets? Mate wants to wait till end of May to get hers see. Is there any sort of warning given when they get low?

I don’t think Leeds has sold out for years has it? Reading usually sells out these days around June/July. 

 

I still remember back in the day when Reading used to sell out within 10 mins of going on sale! 

[JoshuaSimmonds]

Kim Petras will be one of my favourite sets of the weekend. Truly solid pop act who makes my Sunday a little less shit.

Think I'm going to see the story so far over enter shikari earlier in the day then catch half of Foos and go see the later Enter shikari set, as I've already seen Foos before.

How likely are Enter Shikari to play their older stuff in their later set? Much prefer it to the newest album

[Steve1000]

Yeah I reckon the main stage set will be a load of boring songs from The Spark

You'd imagine they'll play newer stuff and bigger hits to the main stage crowd and a set more geared towards long-term fans while everyone else is seeing the Foos

I'll probably do that then, get to see a both shikari and tssf with a bit of foos then.

Says Sundara Karma and ADTR aren't clashing now, hope that's right 

 

[Daniels312]

Hope Enter Shikari play the boring stuff earlier in the day and they play a mixture of songs from Take to the skies, Common Dreads and a few off flash flood of colour as those were the better albums.

[TheWaters]

Flash Flood of Colour best album 

[Tom Connolly]

Shikari will play all the hits in the daytime for a festival crowd then more of the niche songs for the diehards who go and watch them instead of Foos, personally i have no clue why anyone would watch Enter Shikari over Foo Fighters but each to their own

[thelemon]

Gutted that on the Saturday there's a Wombats/Black Honey clash followed by a Circa Waves/Royal Blood clash yet there's no one decent watch instead of the 1975

Dave is amazing

I've heard a bit of his stuff in the past it's decent for what it is but not really my thing. I think my mate actually wants to watch dappy though. He might have to go that one alone.

[Traher666]

We had Dave in the venue I work in, the crowd was proper mad. I only watched a couple of songs before I left, but it was decent. I think there is likely everyone 14 - 17 will be trying to watch him though.

[Andre91]

Jesus Christ, how many 14 year olds are going to Reading and Leeds?

No sane parent would let their 14 year old go R&L

i'm 16 but 100% 1975

[Tom Connolly]

17 and 10000000% The 1975 even though i’m a huge Dave fan

[TheWaters]

Happened to be listening to Radio 1 in the car right now and whoever’s currently presenting introduced Bad Guy by Billie Eillish and mentioned how special her set will be at Reading & Leeds when she “plays the main stage”. Possibly a slip up, or they’ve switched her and not announced it yet.

would just like to say i called this first if it happens

[Steve1000]

She won’t move, I’m sure of it. 

[JSmurphy]

Why would they move her? She's up against Twenty One Pilots or Post Malone. Crowd wise it'll be absolutely fine.

Moving her set from late on Radio 1, in darkness, to an early evening slot on Main would be an absolute waste. If I was going I'd be hoping R&L have enough sense to not do that.

Who would they swap her with? AJ Tracey?

That’d piss AJ Tracey off big time 

[Steve1000]

I reckon 21 Pilots might end up with a p small crowd

Didn’t you say you saw them in 2014 in the tent? At age 12? :)

[jamieaslee]

Anyone heard the new Vampire Weekend record/ what do you think?
