[Stuielooie]

I think we've found a worse demographic than dark fruits twitter... I call it "lil twitter"

Why are they fuming though

Because not every school leaver/uni leaver at 16 - 19 are going to love RATM, they are an old band now and I guarantee the majority of the younger fans are not bothered about heavier rock and metal based acts. Years ago when I and some on here were younger the best of them were around and were our era, things have changed.

Do people not understand that this is a rock festival.

Look at the ticket sales the past 4_5 years....they haven't been based on rock festivals.

I think RATM have cost them a lot & the undercard is going to be poor. One more headliner, no co-headliners, no BMTH, no MCR? 

Unless Reading are somehow pulling out lineups like they used to full of names and legends on one bill 🙃 

I think they are dropping big so it looks better to drop a lot of under par than a few under par.

Screw that I ain’t counting 😂

Reading and Leeds Main Stage Class Of 2008 stepping up!

I actually remember him making a comment about how he wished he'd seen Rage, QOTSA and Biffy the previous day when they played that year.

Funnily enough same here I saw them in Birmingham on the current tour having never seen them before.

They performed incredibly, but their energy just isn't the same as what it would have been back then... wish they never ditched the uniformed boiler suits either!

So every headliner self confirmed prior to Reading actually releasing the line up? Embarrassing 

Well let's prepare for the 3rd and final headliner to do exactly that at about 6am tomorrow.

[jonnyisRFC]

I think we’re also forgetting, Reading normally have a headliner that headlined Glastonbury the year before. It’s going to be Stormzy! 

[gfa]

gold

[ob123]

If Travis is booked then that’s 2/3 headliners shared with Coachella. Does that happen often?

Eh, the undercard is almost always weak anyway. The last time it was somewhat decent was 2015, and the last time it was actually good was 2010 or 2011.

That Christmas Number One campaign introduced me to them, and boy am I glad it did.

I guess I have X Factor to thank in a weird way then?

Same. I remember the hype very vividly. My family cheered when we heard it won. Good times.

Think the act would have got a bit tired had they not evolved along the way, think the current tour was excellent given that they are around 50 years old these days and still going pretty hard night after night. I really liked the tour and the gig, it was great fun.

Fingers crossed! 

[RGG2002]

Am I not allowed to listen to both LG and RATM in peace? Feels like I’m being abused from every angle 😂😂

Lil Twitter is now an official term for all people that reject any music that isn’t mainstream

Quite looking forward to seeing the Subways next month or so, I was a huge fan a decade ago.

Hard Disagree. 

 

Last years undercard & headliners were the best in years. ADTR/Frank Carter/Ymas/Billie...it goes on

Did you really think they'd never come back?

Let me find out that you think The Maccabees have disappeared forever too.

The Maccabees split up!?

[VCK]

From someone who actually listens to Blossoms and The Wombats on a regular basis, folks.

[TownNation]

How can people be pissed at Rage? FFS I’m absolutely buzzing!! And I ain’t what you called old, only 20 myself. They’re bloody fantastic

 

looks like RTJ are confirmed too, look on the rage website

[robillustrates]

We are in the era of the complainers and moaners,

Reading complains when they get Rage Against the Machine.

Glastonbury gets complaints for Macca, Swift and again when Kendrick Lamar is confirmed,

No one gets a positive reception anymore.
