^ that's Glasto.
duuuuuh
rialto!
omg omg i have to book a ticket NOW.
[if rialto really were playing, this would be my actual reaction.]
where did you hear that?
i'm so all over that!
The editor of a website that
has gotten 95% of the headliners right in advance since I started going in 2002
hmmm....
i'll believe it when it's official, but that is the general concensus from the sounds of things.
well
its quite clearly from e-festivals, which is indeed always always correct!
rage are basically confirmed, the others are just looking pretty damn likely
i heard it in 1996!
LOLZ
Come 31st March
I'm going to be pressing refresh like a fiend.
Don't!
On festival sale day, refresh just refreshes the busy page. Re enter the URL and you'll be more successful
^ me too!
A Bros reunion?!?!!! Wouldn't miss it for the world
is that the
confirmed date for tickets going on sale?
Yes
Ha
Makes me glad i already have my ticket
Yeah
buying after last year's ftw!
UGH
slipknot? seriously? oh dear
Slipknot are great live
plus there are about 7 stages - i'm sure you could divert your attention for an hour
plus slipknow are GREAT LIVE!!!!
you knot i meant slipknot right?!?
yeah
fair point
Not sure which is worse
this or Glastonbury. I guess at least they do have someone worth seeing in Bloc Party. Why did I bother buying advance tickets?
because you're a cock that loves to moan
...
A possble leaked line up????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMoacmKS7MI
faaaaaaaaaaake.
Weezer under Babyshambles?
Yeah right.
Its plausible
But QOTSA as one from top? I dont think so.
That better not be right
that line-ups too good.
Weezer/Alexisonfire/The Killers/Gallows/etc./etc./etc.
Gallows
are self confirmed to play.
if weezer play im going
This has been all over
the interweb twice.
It was made by a guy on my other forum, forum.readingfestivalonline.co.uk
The main way you can tell its a fake is by
Jack PenTATE and Buffy instead of Duffy.
How much are day tickets?
I only really want to see Rage
yeah there are day tickets
about £70
with fees i think. Oof.
I'm so glad I decided not to do it this year
as that just looks like a pile of shite.
I want
The Hives.
that line-up is a fake
if you notice, it says at the top: 'Mean Fiddler presents'. Mean Fiddler having changed its name to Festival Republic last year.
obv
but i bet it's going to be pretty close to the horrible truth
I got this in an e-mail from someone I
know at Festival Republic, he says its near-as-dammit to the actual lineup.

this seems possible
although no weezer :(
and LOL at enter shikari on the main stage... can only begin to imagine how shit that will be.
There's a couple every year that e-festivals
put as rumours when they're grabbing at straws, Feeder and Weezer are thos this year.
Enter Shikari will be fucking gash on the main, but I'll still see them =]
Haha, he made a fail with Parka, only just noticed that.
Yeah I do, he's an old mate who started working there 2/3 years ago.
parka playing twice?
aint they been around for ages anyway?
Looks pretty plausible
do you actually know the person personally?
man Sunday would be hot
are the Fratellis
really that big to be above NOFX and 30 seconds to Mars ?
I would think so
As we know at festivals like this, indie is worth way more points than pop-punk and emo, and Chelsea Dagger was like earth-eatingly massive.
Also
how many records have NOFX sold in Britain? And who's more likely to be on the BBC3 coverage?
The record industry really is putting a lot of faith into Joe Lean and the Ting Tings, isn't it?
I know its not as many as in America
And frankly I don't care either, they're shit.
They're just yet another 5 minute indie fad, nobody will know them this time next year, same with Does It Offend.
The second paragraph
was in ref to Ting/Jing
couldnt care for any of those bands
just a bit confused how the Fratellis could command a high place in a line up
Saturday main stage might be worth it
Queens followed by Rage= my 16 year old self spaffing his pants.
Les Savy Fav!
hadn't even presumed that they could play!
They've received
quite a bit of NME rimming of late...
oh yeah I suppose...
what with Harrington being in the cool list and everything!
I hope you are right
ART BRUT!!!!!!!!!
Ah, joyous.
Damn at Vampire Weekend/Justice clash.
they might not clash
or if they do itll be like half hour of one band and half hour of the other :)
That line up is so Meh
No Crystal Castles or Maccabees either which is surprising.
Bollocks
Pendulum are doing Creamfields on Saturday
They self-confirmed
so nyeh.
Hope this is right
RATM
Dillinger
Les Savy Fav
QOTSA
Fantastic!
Be worth it for the lockup stage on the fri!
good line-up!
Most of this is wank.
Although I would be interested in:
Q.O.T.S.A
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Bloc Party
I wouldn't mind seeing:
Gallows
Modest Mouse
Tokyo Police Club
Foals (even though I've never heard them)
R.A.T.M (even though I don't even like them that much)
Les Savy Fav (even though I've never heard them)
I'd have thought that
Modest Mouse and the Cribs would be on the same day if Marr's going to play with both of them....
Not actually "heard it here first"
considering loads of forums have been saying the same thing for ages.
that line up
will do me NICELY
Looks like
Fightstar have got the annual bottling slot!
fucking
sweet
no
foals?
WRONG and NOT NEW
That has been rolling about on eFests for a while, a long with similar line-ups.
After much dicussion it seems likely, but a few of the bands are being put to question such as the killers.
The guy who got emailed below is lying.
Enter shikari have stated that they are NOT playing reading/leeds!, there are many small mistakes, but one alone shows it is fake ha
Well done
No it isn't new as it was posted two weeks ago
What site would people
recommend for getting tickets on Monday?
i thought you werent going?
or are you doing the hotel thing again?
i got mine from seetickets last year and in 2006
I am going
I'm just not camping. I'm going to be seriously f*cked off if RATM aren't playing though.
Seetickets are the only ones selling
Here's a tip, if it goes to a busy screen, don't press refresh, you're just refreshing the busy page, re-enter the URL.
Also try other urls like www.seetickets.com/meanfddr or the like
does that really work
that url thing? (of course it fucking works you wouldnt type it for no reason) (sorry i always ask sailly questions)
It mightn't
because it's Festival Republic now, not Mean Fiddler.
thanks
I'll defo try that. Fingers crossed x
seetickets arent the only ones selling
lastminute, gigantic, ticketline are as well
arghh

tenacious d are playing the sunday - rather random
damn lack of edit
only 1 not sure on is weezer.
nme.com
are selling too.
I didn't know Tenacious D were rumoured?!
that's about 6 main stage headliners?
is there any chance whatsoever
that elbow could play?
elbow are at latitude
go there and don't waste your time and money on shitty reading or leeds
MTV2 just played some of the line up
And it's looking to be The Killers and Metallica for definite.
No sign of RATM though :(
Bloc Party, QOTSA, Slipknot, Metallica and The Killers
all on MTV2.
if rage dont play
I will be very sad.
Seing as though they have been rumoured for about 6 months
I would be very surprised if they don't.
rage
are playing. they agreed the contract last year and they've been down as confirmed on efest for about 3 months
Innit
The rumoured headliners are pretty much always the headliners.
Killers
Just confirmed by NME.com
