LG sells up north (and probably south too tbh), Stromzy sells better down south. Works quite well & even better with a band like RATM 100% playing the other night to please all (I'm convincing myself if I'm positive I'll get a positive outcome...)

fair play

[defender4]

fucking hell

the more i think about this the more excited i get

now i’m just trying to explain to my friend why spending about £70 for a toilet, locker and a shower doesn’t really make any sense

do people often steal shit from tents at reading or are they being paranoid because they’re also convinced you have to pay to use campsite toilets which tbh......they wouldn’t want to use them anyway

not doing that great up north, leeds would probably eliminate the chance of these selling out

 

Are we writing off Stormzy to co because of Glasto? Could do it and just close Reading

i think it ultimately depends on where you stay and the people around you, in two years going i had no issues at all but i know people who have stolen stuff from other tents. I’d say your chair is more likely to get stolen if anything.If you don’t have anything too flashy on and you’re not a massive c**t to the people around u - e.g. blasting music when they’re trying to sleep then you’ll probably be fine.

That 6 music clip is pretty conclusive isn't it? Bizarre if not.

How quick do we think Rage day tickets will go?

The strokes co headlined last time they played with pulp? Wouldn’t be out of the question for them to co head with Travis Scott or stormzy or something

[Hart Attack]

Remember when @eFestivals used to have bands listed as (R), (SR) or (TBC)? That used to be our main point of info and discussion, but it seems like the sources have dried up these days or something...?

[foolee]

I’ve been to watch the Menzingers tonight and just looking at the most recent page I’m glad we still have no clue 😂

Pretty sure he stopped chasing after R&L info, or doesn't get it anymore so we don't get them now.

 Might start having too seeing how much activity this thread seems to be getting every year, I don't like being in the dark for this long ahaha

Yeah, this was a great year.

I remember meeting someone I know on the Saturday night and he couldn’t believe that I’d watched Bad Religion instead of Arcade Fire.

He babbled on about how amazing Arcade Fire were and how I’d made a huge mistake in missing them.

I didn’t want to tell him that if I hadn’t watched Bad Religion I’d have watched Pendulum and if I hadn’t watched Pendulum I’d have watched Ash.haha.

Such a strong year, I'd have chose all 3 before AF too and chose Pendulum.

BMTH are headline or nothing, also I made that poster template months ago

Not now they aren't, time passed.

there's less info nowadays because they try harder to keep it under wraps, but it was always the case that sometimes I got info and sometimes I didn't - it just depends what goes past someone's ears that then comes my way. That's the nature of gossip and rumours.

If you were a gambling man, which 3 bands would your 50p be on to headline this year?

LG, LG and MCR (for the bants)

In all seriousness I can see what people are saying about Stormzy co headlining could be him and BMTH with Stormzy closing Reading and Bring Me Leeds

Then the Strokes with LG, with Strokes closing Reading and LG closing Leeds

Then Rage on the Sunday

[gimleydesigner]

Stormzy headlined Glastonbury less than a year back and has only got more popular since

He is NOT co-headlining

[Andre91]

Look at Stormzy’s tour. He isn’t co-headlining shit. He’s arguably the biggest artist in the UK.

Kendrick is supposedly headlining glasto this year and co-headlined Reading 2 years back. You can’t argue Kendrick wasn’t huge when he co-headlined

Wasnt that cause he has a condition where he cannot rap for long periods at a time, hence a shorter set with Panic doing one also?

[gimleydesigner]

No doubt about that at all - but my point being Stormzy has had that status just last year and isn't going to drop straight down to accept a coheadline set

Kendrick is going up that ladder so it's a complete different comparison

Busy dreaming of Rage Against The Machine, Run The Jewels, Idles and Denzel Curry on that Sunday Main Stage. Have a good weekend everyone.

Add Skepta as the sub to that day and it's looking really strong - someone like while she sleeps or Code Orange earlier in the day, something like.. 

RATM/ Skepta/ Run The Jewels/ IDLES/ Denzel Curry/ While She Sleeps/ Code Orange 

Or are CO more likely on another stage?

I’m struggling to read this thread because I don’t want to get any hopes up of Rage at all.

Dyou reckon Liams voice will be completely shot by the festival

If I break my wrist now, do you think it’ll still be broken in August?

Code Orange will do Knotfest, I think.
