Reading Festival dillemas

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

    • ...

      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.
