Reading/Leeds 2011

[sonofhal]

Lineup announced in 90 minutes, but here's a spoiler.

How much do you wish that you were going to Friday?

[nathanfairchild]

saturday's the only decent day

[Cookieman908]

I like it...except for Friday of course

[citizenerased]

Damn Friday sucks.

Oh shit, from Muse.mu:
"At the festival, to celebrate 10 years since the release of Origin Of Symmetry, Muse will be playing songs from this album alongside others spanning their career to date. Not only this, but they'll also be bringing a whole new stage production that will only be used for these two performances."

[ficklecycle]

Oh come on guys, My Chemical Romance AND 30 Seconds To Mars? What's not to like?

[Miroir Noir]

What the hell is Jane's doing headlining a b-stage? I mean, they're no My Chemical Romance, but seriously.

[xanman86]

I'm down to see The Offspring, hopefully they come to CA soon

[suprefan]

Still gonna sell out in 10 minutes.

[Fourthisto]

Man, I REALLY need to stop looking at this lineup, otherwise I'm going to go broke buying individual day tickets for Leeds Friday and Sunday and Reading for Saturday. :sigh:

And yes, MCR day is awful.

[Fourthisto]

Still gonna sell out in 10 minutes.

I was thinking the same thing, except it's been nearly four hours and tickets for every day as well as weekend passes are still available....

[paulb]

Ive seen worse....

[Bumblebee]

Would have thought Beady Eye and Pulp got higher billing.

[suprefan]

Ive seen worse....

Well yeah, Limp Bizkit isnt on this one...

[shakermaker113]

I have no doubt that he really has seen worse.

[agenthal]

Muse playing Origin of Symmetry = I'm sold. Single days bought.

[sonofhal]

I have no doubt that he really has seen worse.

I'm sure he's been to worse.

[paulb]

Latitude is more depressing than this

[Phantasma Del Mar]

I'm down to see The Offspring, hopefully they come to CA soon

They're here like every year.

[sonofhal]

Latitude is more depressing than this

12 bands I'd bother to see at Reading compared to....

The National
Anna Calvi
Avi Buffalo
The Bees
Bright Eyes
British Sea Power
Caitilin Rose
Caribou
Deerhunter
Edward Sharpe
Edwyn Collins
Esben & The Witch
Glasser
Gold Panda
I Am Kloot
Jenny & Johnny
The Leisure Society
Lloyd Cole
Marques Toliver
My Morning Jacket
OMD
Trophy Wife
Villagers
Yann Tiersen

So, about twice as good as Reading for me.

[Boourns]

Reading/Leeds:
pulp
muse
strokes
dfa 1979
2manydjs
warpaint
Interpol
elbow

latitude:
deerhunter
foals
glasser
Jenny and Johnny
omd
yann tiersen

yeah, r/l will never be good as it is full of chavs and the lineup littered with acts like 30 seconds to mars but at least they have a few must-see acts. Latitude is just abyssmal. Dear god.

[TheImportance]

I really can't be too disappointed in any line-up with The Strokes, Pulp, and DFA1979. Even Friday isn't that bad, if only because of The Horrors and Beady Eye.

[MissingPerson]

Given the choice, I'd pick Latitude over R/L any day of the week.

Also, my God, no Pendulum? That can't be right.

[Boourns]

I can't imagine duller headliners than The National and Paolo Nutini. Well, besides Jack Johnson, I mean.

Did anyone see this?

The Strokes play after Pulp at Reading, but at Leeds Pulp closes out the night.

[Boourns]

I really can't be too disappointed in any line-up with The Strokes, Pulp, and DFA1979. Even Friday isn't that bad, if only because of The Horrors and Beady Eye.

A one-day pass is ~$150, which is $60 more than a Wireless ticket, a 3-day pass is ~$320, which is more than Glastonbury.

[Danny]

Pulp are headlining Leeds and Strokes Reading.

First year im not going in 4, not fussed tbh.

[Boourns]

Hard to believe that lineups used to look like this


3 day pass was what a single day ticket costs now.

So who is "A"? I like how it's Deathcab and THE Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
