Not sure where it could fit, unless they put it up in White or similar, unless it’s going where the dance tent is but surely they can’t have a daytime Arcadia going on?

Would also mean they’d deffo need another decent sized tent somewhere…

it makes far more sense at leeds which sells worse anyway - and has nowhere near the sound restraints

Otherwise they’d need to eat into campsite if they’re going use the same arena footprint. I guess there’s a chance they could fit it where the dance tent is, if they binned the comedy tent moved the arena entrance there elsewhere

I meant like eat in from one side and give back on another if you get what i mean. i'd move the funfair to dance and stick it where comedy / funfair is perhaps (not been for a few years so could be way off - can't look at a map / draw what i mean right now so hopefully makes sense!)

I think the words ‘long’ and ‘shot’ were invented just for wish lists like this haha

yeah it would be crap, by any chance it wouldn't be a main stage act if it was ever to happen, he's a moron anyway so he would do some stupid sh*t if he was to perform

I think something in between Big Tent and Dance tent would work well on many levels and be squeezed into that spot with minimal loss of camping

given they’ve gone full Tier mode on tickets, I wonder if they will further expand out their VIP proposition from that sh*tty lounge thing

me and my boomer mates would pay more for expedited arena entry (from road (not campsite) and somewhere to sit down in view of a stage… somehow goes very much against the spirit of Reading but that’s long gone now anyway…So pimp us up!

Could squeeze out the comedy tent for its, cost savings and profit center!  (Should not give the ‘em any ideas really🤣)

We don't normally get a R1 announcement for follow up announcements unless there is some fairly popular zeitgeist names.

They usually build it up and get everybody hyped to drop relatively sizey artists.

They wouldn't hype it up with a drop, only to say Turnstiles, Front Bottoms, 100 gecs, Joey Valance.

 

I'd like Snow Patrol, Jamie T, Wolf Alice, Joey Valance/Brae, Libertines, JME, Chase and Status, Enter Shikari, Aitch, Nine Inch Nails, Slowthai

I'd be surprised

Quote

On 15 May 2023, Slowthai was charged with two counts of rape relating to an incident alleged to have happened in September 2021. On 15 June, Slowthai appeared at Oxford Crown Court alongside co-defendant Alex Blake-Walker. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. The trial is set to begin on 1 July 2024.
