Watching Charli XCX miming right now is reminding me why I'm not going for the first time in 17 years...

She ain't miming pal it's a backing track.

Audio from the stream is a bit dodgy though.

Which she relied heavily on ?

[foolee]

She was miming I don’t care, she has done it at other festivals this summer, it’s her not even her song... Turned the stream off after a couple of minutes, poor.

[Guest]

I haven’t seen her miming at all. The backing track is loud and her vocals too low, granted, but not once have I seen her pretending to sing.

I think it's ridiculous how many acts have dropped out this year. Comethazine and King Princess cancelled last minute as well...

Love Fame Tragedy secret set basically confirmed, maybe the Sunday at Reading on Introducing?

Would make sense, Leeds don't get introducing secret sets am I right in thinking?

I think Leeds actually has secret sets on the Introducing stage this year, the only reason I'd say Reading is that they'll be able to film it for iplayer.

Juice Wrld supposedly is a no show. No official cancellation anywhere. Anyone on site know if he's turned up?

[robmongascy]

Apparently they’re blaming it on his flight there? Pathetic excuse given it was 10 min after he was meant to be on stage. was probably having a hissy fit backstage

iplayer says 'at the artists request we can not show you this performance'. They had the same thing up for Clairo. I guess with her it's a case of not wanting to be exposed as an out of their depth artist entirely propped up by bought press. Juice Wrld has apparently claimed it was flight issues. That means he'll be at Leeds (lmao sure sure)

[Guest]

Yeah they need to stop booking these soundcloud/emo rappers don’t they. Fad will be over within a year or so (hopefully) anyway.

[Padjeq]

I do feel sorry for the people that go exclusively for the rap part of the festival. They only get a few a day, and then the acts start swerving their obligations, leaving the fans crying into their across the shoulder bum bags.

I remember being disappointed when Jay Z pulled out of Reading and Leeds in 2003. We got a big rapper the next year - 50 Cent - but unfortunately for him he got pelted with chairs, fireworks and a cup of shit.

Has the 1975 time changed again?

It's usually on the radio too as Radio 1 tend to broadcast live from Reading

I remember that guy in a wheelchair rolling upto the barricade whilst 50 was on, as soon as he got there he stood up and threw the wheelchair at the stage.

That's what they did last time they played. Great set.

Last time they played the set they played when they first played Reading in 1995 I believe.

[NerdsNatterings]

As much as I do feel bad for people who were excited for him, moaning about him being the 'main act' when he was booked fifth down is a bit dumb. You're expecting a full refund because somebody playing in the middle of the day didn't show up ?

[robmongascy]

Fair play these responses are hilarious ? to echo what’s said above it’s a shame that people don’t get to see who they were excited for but statements like these are straight up ridiculous 

[Padjeq]

I'm watching the Wombats on iplayer doing the exact same set in the exact same order as when I saw them live at last year's Reading.

 

edit: haha spoke too soon

I'd never even heard of Juice Wrld until he was announced for this year's line up.

The singer just said something about "tools"

Tool secret set and then headline set next year confirmed.

[Paulmcm1998]

Watching Royal Blood on IPlayer right now definitely think they'll be headlining a couple big festivals in the UK next year. They sound great and the crowd is getting right behind them a proper good rock and roll set
