holtjammy16 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Wasn't really sure if it fit in to discuss in the music topic Anyone planning on going? (How amazing is the line-up though!) I'm more of a dance music person myself so when I saw some of these announced I almost cried with happiness (Skrillex, Sub focus, Chase & Status, Knife Party, Disclosure & Azealia Banks) and they haven't even anounced the majority of the Dance & 1xtra stages yet!

Ryan Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Absolutely can't wait, seeing Fall Out Boy, Skrillex, Knife Party and Green Day in the same weekend is going to be awesome! holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nope. I don't like the direction the festival is currently going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smidget Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Omg Imagine Dragons There's a load of others there I quite like, but there are more that I don't (Bring Me The Horizon - who the hell wants to see them?!). Not that it matters anyway, I'm too skint to go #studentbudget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nope. I don't like the direction the festival is currently going. It seems alot of people have that opinion I'm just happy it's slowly going in a direction similar to Glastonbury etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm starting to go through some of the acts announced and so far I'm liking the sound of Iggy Azalea, Disclosure, Baauer, Mallory Knox, The 1975 and Magnetic Man. Never listened to any of them before so would be good to check them out at Reading, obviously depends if they clash with anyone good. holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 It seems alot of people have that opinion I'm just happy it's slowly going in a direction similar to Glastonbury etc Lineup preference is subjective of course but the atmosphere and demographic who attend the festivals is completely different. Reading and Leeds attract a much younger crowd. Even the timings of the festivals suggest that. Glasto is during GCSEs/ A Levels normally, while Reading and Leeds start just after GCSE results day. From 2005-2010, it used to sell out before bands were even announced so they were doing something right. In comparison, it 'sold out' a few weeks before the event last year because there was a deal with Viagogo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentez Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I don't think I've heard of any of these "artists" apart from Disclosure, Eminem and Skrillex....oh and fruit bastilles (but not the green ones). Would go see Disclosure at a venue but this has zero appeal, personally speaking of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more meant the type of acts they're booking The past couple of years R/L has booked way more dance acts then you would've seen say 5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 All a question of taste of course, but seems strange to me how much better the second and dance stages are compared to the main stage. The only artist on the main stage I'd be bothered about seeing would be Chase and Status, the rest of it looks very stale.

Pickles Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I remember when it was Reading Rock Festival. Some of these 'bands' that are on this year wouldn't be playing. Bring Reading Rock back I say. Smidget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craaig Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 If the Reading Friday was on the Sunday and headlined by Biffy instead of GD (but I don't mind Green Day, just prefer Biffy - also FOB/SOAD are interchangeable...) I would get a day ticket. But I don't have enough moneyz to do the whole weekend and the Friday is off-limits as girlfriend's birthday anyway.

Ellie Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Unfortunately, being from Reading, both jobs I've had its been impossible to get time off for fest. That being said, I love Kodaline so much that I intend to go the Friday for them alone! Gutted Imagine Dragons aren't the same day though!
