Simple thread, unsure who to watch on a number of occasions in reading this year-who would you plump for?

The Killers/Manic Street Preachers (I'm leaning towards the Manics on this one)
The Raconteurs/Justice
Editors/Foals

There'll probably be more dillemas to come when the other stages are announced, but this is where I am for now.

Oh yeah, check out Blackout Crew on YouTube (sorry dunno the link). Possibly the funniest vid in history...

oh fuck

killers
justice
foals

easy, but minus justice they all suck
I'm more worried about why the fuck CSS are headlining the dance tent and not justice.


while the Manics

do churn out pretty bad records these days, they can still cut it live. a lot of it is to do with atmosphere and the way their crowds get SO into it. i imagine they'll kill in the radio 1.


Yeah

Basically they are a better live band than the Killers-think I've decided on Manics, Raconteurs and Foals-gonna see Editors support R.E.M. anyway...


personally

The Killers - got the entire Leeds site singing and dancing a few years ago.
Justice - it's Justice?!
Foals - Oh, go on then.

It's pretty tight between all these I suppose.


p.s

Apologies for being Northern (even though I seem to live in Brighton these days).


.

Manics
Justice
Foals


According to the clashfinder

I got off efestivals which is based on last years times, The Raconteurs will actually clash with foals and Justice with Bloc Party. Hope thats better!


That would be

much worse


:(

sorry!


the answers are

gallows
justice
foals


...

I knew this would be the case-the sets tend to overlap but i believe that these will be the clashes generally


Easy!

The Killers
Justice
Editors!


That

is just such a bad decision? You are banned from festivals.


...

has anyone looked at that vid yet? possibly the chavviest vid in history...they're from Bolton you know!


manics

raconteurs
foals.

Raconteurs are a MUST.


raconteurs are brilliant!!!

i don't get all the hatin'


That's you dilemma! Rubbish, mine is this:

I have bought what i thought were 2 weekend tickets, turns out i only got 2 Friday tickets, obviously i want weekend but if i have to pick a day it would be Friday.

so my options either
a)sell both friday, try and get a weekend.
b) sell one friday and go on friday


Go Friday and buy

day tickets/weekend ticket outside for cut price...there are always loads of touts knocking them out at the gates.

They sell tickets too. BA-DUM-TSH!


Do not go see the Killers

They are honestly terrible live.


^this

I can't wait to see the Manics. I've seen them about 18 times now and everytime they've put a great show. Shame their last album was shite.


Easy

Manics
Justice
Editors (that last one was a bit trickier - I'd rather see Editors live but would rather listen to Foals on record)


hmm

Having seen them all I would go for:

Manics
Justice
Editors


-

Manics
Justice
Editors

I don't miss going to Reading.


probably

killers
raconteurs (not sure though)
foals


ermm

killers
justice
foals


/\this/\

The Killers - its a party!
Justice - again, its a party. and i'll see raconteurs at glastonbury
Foals - i think.
