Reading and Leeds Festival 2014

Yeah, bit let down by Download. Apparently, R+L may be getting AC/DC, just a rumour but if it's true that would be a fantastic booking and what a show they'd put on.

That would be insane. Wouldn't mind seeing QOTSA sub AM. Apparently Maiden, Metallica and Sabbath are a lock for Sonisphere which probably rules them out of R&L (which is good for me)

AC/DC would be a decent show but their demands at Download were just too much. If they try it with R&L I can't see them accepting it.

Now Pearl Jam are being thrown around with those names.

I've heard they've been trying to scale it down a bit but yeah their own stage at DL in 2009 was ridiculous. There's no way they'd get something like that anywhere.

Scratch that, iit looks almost certain to be Blink-182. How utterly terrible. I want to cry.

Well that wouldn't be a great start.

Although have Dillinger on in the Lock-Up while they play and I wouldn't care.

I really hope I'm wrong.

Blink 182 (Main Stage Headliner)
Jake Bugg (Main Stage)
Of Mice And Men (Headlining Rock Stage)
I Am Legion (1xtra Stage)
Metronomy (NME)
Disclosure (NME)
Wilkinson (Dance Stage)

Very gutted with that, Metronomy are the only one that even get me reasonably excited. Jake Bugg I've seen and the others I think are either terrible or I haven't really listened to them.

Thoughts? Can't say I'm too fussed but I'm not exactly incensed either. A lot of my friends seem overly excited about Blink but whatever. I don't think that the other announcements were very good either.

Pretty bad for me. Considering Blink headlined 4 years ago which seems far to soon. The only new thing they've brought out is an EP and they don't seem to be big enough to headline these days anyway.

Metronomy I'm quite pleased about. Of Mice and Men aren't too bad. Jake Bugg is pretty good live if you haven't already seen him. The others I haven't really given a listen.

I can see the other headliners being like Arctics and QOTSA. Which is pretty lazy, I'd love QOTSA though tbf.

I thought Blink released an album the year after they headlined and they are saying they may have a new one out by the next festival.

I have no interest in anything announced so far. Still plenty of time to go though.

None of the early announcements from the major festivals have impressed me this year.

Yeah but a 3 year old album isn't really 'new.' Yeah they will but I find it hard to have a band headlining based on a band they haven't even brought out yet...it could very well be ****.

Me neither, though Sonisphere has my vote so far.

I could see something along the lines of Blink, Arctic Monkeys and QOTSA/Paramore, urgh.

I didn't think DL looked great, although Sonisphere didn't look too bad.
