For example, all the dance tent subs are dance headline level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Alice have nothing announced whatsoever and not suggesting they’ll be doing anything next year. Idles deffo arent playing. Otherwise a decent effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they would tbf given Blue Weekend was a few years ago now but I thought there might be a more tangible announcement by now. Or at least a date here/there.

Aromaticmusic1 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Sorry I thought I saw it somewhere. It must have just been like a fake prediction for other festivals or whatever. I’m still fingers crossed they are tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Lurking on their Reddit, those who follow the WA cause think new music is coming in 2024 and indeed have clocked it will be their first with a new label (they've jumped ship from Dirty Hit and are now with Sony). Nearest we've got is that Ellie did guest vocals for a song by a band called Thy Slaughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have ave a global footprint which in the U.K. Victorious Y-not Tramlines Boardmasters Truck Kendall Calling Basically if a band is doing those festivals, it’s highly unlikely they’ll also play Reading/ competing geographic markets in the same year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just that smaller bands doing the rounds prefer to sign with superstruct as they get to play more shows (guess a band like Fontaines can easily tick off 3 or 4 of those smaller festivals)? genuine question, as I've always assumed bands would much rather play R/L given the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is one promoter willing to pay you more than the other… Its probably worth Superstruct paying more to X band to play 3/4 bigger slots across the country than it is for Live Nation to pay X band to play a smaller slot at Reading Ultimately it’s the proliferation of festivals and competition which has killed overall lineup quality across festivals. Normally competition is good for the final consumer, in this case it’s only really good for the bands. We’re left with diluted lineups quality wise and ultimately in Reading’s case in quality and quantity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfisher Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Hey all, big time reader but never post. Went to a Vaccines gig tonight and asked them if they’ll play Reading this year. Justin the lead singer was tight lipped and said they’re still in discussions. I said back ‘so there’s a good chance?’ And he just smiled. I know most don’t even care but hey I’m 42 and would love to see them there. Great line up so far but would love to see more indie bands lower in the bill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've definitely been in the studio, no idea when it's coming and I'd bet more likely that they release it this year with tour dates leading to a big festival run next year.
