Reading and Leeds Festivals Thread
 

Yeah, thought anyway who might be going could talk about who could potentially be there, any rumours going around or anything like that.

Obviously, The White Stripes will be there, if Jack White isn't in prison, and Muse have already confirmed they will be doing a festival tour this summer, and I heard Zane Lowe say Muse have confirmed they will play, so I think Muse is a pretty safe bet.

Also, a lot of the Warped Tour bands tend to come over for the festival, so maybe Thursday to headline Concrete Jungle

Yeah, Muse seem to be doing some of the festivals... they're playing T In The Park up here at the start of July, along with the Darkness and David Bowie (waaaaaay more names to come).

Reading and Leeds never bothers me, what I'm more interested in are the odd rumours of a Scottish leg for Download in 2004. :love:

Apparently, Metallica have confirmed for Download, and Korn and Slipknot are supposed to be playing as well.

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">yeah, metallica have confirmed download... there will also be a scottish date.

i heard the beastie boys were gonna headline too. :o

and rumour has it taking back sunday will be doing some festivals... there new album will be around then. :D</font>

TBS would be sweet

Green Day are releasing a new album in 2004.... Maybe they'll play Reading...(and leeds)

eh i hope the white stripes break up in 04

wouldnt you be praying for them to get back toghether first?

I hope whatever muppet put Junior senior on the Line up last year got his ass fired.

More metal IMO would be welcome this year, Less Pop Punk this year thank you/

Apparently The Offspring said they'd be playing European festivals this summer.... so that's either V or Reading/Leeds

Oh and apparently Limp Bizkit's manager said they'd be playing festivals "at the end of August"

<center><font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">uhhh... they're still together</font>

If Download has a Scottish leg then I'll probably go to that one instead.

It does.

Or was that a statement... hard to say.

I think Pearl Jam would be a good headliner, doubt it'll happen but seeing how they released that b side/rarities album recently and an album in 2002 its about time they came back over here

It's not actually been officially confirmed by the organisers, so it's hard to tell what shape it'll take. Although info so far is that it'll be June 2nd (a Wednesday :wtf: ) and that Metallica and Machine Head have stated they're playing (along with the main Download festival).

It's 99% confirmed now and it's June 6th in Glasgow. Korn are meant to be topping with limpbizkit in the semi spot.

Not what I've heard. :o

Metallica and Machine Head have both confirmed they'll be in Glasgow on June 2nd, and there's rumours that there'll be something on June 3rd as well. Sadly enough, the rumours for the other bands are Linkin Park, Korn, Slipknot and (not so bad) Audioslave. :-\

Whatever's happening, there's supposedly going to be an official announcement next week.

Well how many festivals do you think are on a Wednesday?

Bizkit and Korn are almost certain to play the top spots. I'd love to see Metallica, Linkin Park and Audioslave though.

Basically, if I go to Glasgow, I'll go back to Dundee after it's done and actually be able to get some sleep (and I'll probably go with my cousins) while if I go to Donnington, it involves way more organisation for my liking.

You stupid ass.

In a "I looked like a stupid cu</>nt" moment, the Glasgow leg is indeed on a Wednesday and Thursday. Linkin Park and Metallica only confirmed acts right now. I'd think Bizkit and Korn will top the other night.

Linkin Park and Metallica are on different nights. :p

Korn probably will play though, their name's been thrown around alot

On the Reading front, in a not especially suprising note, The White Stripes apparently confirmed last night that they would be playing

Reading pre-sale tickets are on-sale now, but they're £105 + Booking fee

Apparently The Darkness have been confirmed

I'll probably go to one day of both festivals as I can't afford any weekends.

Not with another 15-20 quid lumped onto the price of the tickets, go to Reading on the Saturday (Concrete Jungle :cool: )

I think the headliners will be something like, Muse, White Stripes, Darkness, Offspring, Green Day and Beastie Boys

Yeah that was the day i was planning to go. I know what you meant about the price, it's getting stupid now.
But I'll probably get dragged along by my ex to see Korn if they play Donnigton. I went to the weekend at Donnington last year and thought it was good.

But so far I hat The White Stripes and The Darkness so it looks like I want to miss them.

Aerosmith and AC/DC to play reading and leeds with The D supporting, most recent STRONG rumour

Unlikely that both of them will play. I could see one or the other headlining the Sunday (Reading) and Friday (Leeds) with The Darkness, but I thought AC/DC were gonna play Download.

Yeah i heard the AC/DC rumor, JJ we are going again right?

Cos i have to see AC/DC

Yeah def man, im there!

They'll announce it all by April probably, it SHOULD be a good lineup, because the line up was somewhat lacking last year.

I've heard the Delays, Scissor Sisters and Ordinary Boys have confirmed they are there.

:y:

This is true
