Reading/Leeds 2011

[arun1uk]

Anyone going?
I got my tickets yesterday via Vodafone pre-sale. Anyone got an rumours on who the line up may include?

[vtecstu]

Got my tickets for Reading already. This website
http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/reading/2011...
seems to think that Muse are a strong possibility to headline, based I guess mainly on the 'clues' that the organiser gave a couple of months ago (namely that the headliners wouldn't be headlining any other UK festivals this summer).

Not too bothered about anyone else named on that website at the moment... Think the first official lineup released on Monday evening.

[arun1uk]

nice one.

Yeah the full lineup will be named on Zane Lowe's show on Monday night - 7:30pm.
Looking forward to it! I went a few yrs ago and it was mental, looking forward to it again

I have a hopefully feeing about the Foo Fighters as they are playing Chimesee (big pond near Munich) on the Wednesday before. I am tempted to be hardcore and go to thier gig here and then straight to airport for a morning flight to the uk for Leeds...

Sorry, but think they'd only be there as a 'secret' set - I think they're headlining Isle of Wight and the organiser (is it Melvin Benn?) has said that his Reading / Leeds headliners won't be headlining any other UK festival this year. Will try to find the link...

Does exclude a lot of really good bands...!

I've sort of gone off Muse, I think they've had their day (in my opinion). Arctic Monkeys would be good, saw them when they first played Reading. Not too sure about their new stuff though.

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to it :-)

Bump! Reminder to anyone interested that headliners and some of the supports will be announced tonight 'from 7pm' on Radio 1, and tickets on sale via Seetickets and other places from 7.15 tonight.

Hope lineup is good, and good luck to those who don't already have tickets.

I will be sat with a beer in the garden listening to the Reading festival as usual

The line up has leaked early...someone from the publishers of a certain magazine has posted it here

nice!!!

I'm going on the Saturday to Reading, but not really a fan of Pulp.....but The Strokes more than make up for it!

[vtecstu]

Does look a little more genuine than most of the 'leaked' lineups of the last few years... Hoping it's not though - have my weekend ticket already and I'm pretty disappointed by that!

[vtecstu]

Was spot on. And I'm disappointed!

AM are bloody awful live! Genuinely the most disappointing live act I've ever seen.

Heard Manfred Mann might be doing a turn
