March 15, 201115 yr Headliner announcements for Leeds & Reading on MONDAY 21st! I'm getting my ticket for Leeds on Thursday! :D Headliner rumours are Muse/Strokes/MCR Two Door Cinema Club, The Streets, Crystal Castles, Funeral Party, and Noah And The Whale have all self-confirmed that they are going!!!! And so have Muse apparently.
March 16, 201115 yr Author reading & leeds never lets down. but it will hard for them to top their bill from 2009.
March 16, 201115 yr You should update about oxegen. In terms of main acts, friday is pretty shit and saturday is meh. I'm going to try to go to Sunday as I'm passing there on that day.
March 17, 201115 yr Author wow those are some pretty steep prices for Oxegen. i don't i would be able to pick a day before seeing the full timetable for the festival. and what the fuck is brandon flowers doing so far up the bill??!!??!
March 22, 201115 yr Winnipeg Folk Festival just got announced, crap lineup this year though. :sad: Mountain Man, Tegan and Sara and kd Lang are worth seeing. How much is a ticket?
March 23, 201115 yr Author so who will get bottled at reading n leeds this year? i can't think of any at this point. maybe if they announce a hip hop act it might be easier. MCR got the treatment last time they played, they're headlining this time so thats less likely.
April 17, 201115 yr Author made a massive update on basically every festival on the list. starting to notice they're all about the same lol
May 20, 201115 yr Author massive update! about 6 more festivals added. all line ups updated. dates added to most festivals.
June 1, 201115 yr Author i really didn't know where to post this other than here. but NPR have uploaded a shit load of sets from Sasquatch including full 2hr sets from Wilco and Death Cab for Cutie as well as highlights from the Foo Fighters. a lot of the sets are downloadable for free in MP3 format. http://www.npr.org/series/136238533/live-from-sasquatch-music-festival?ps=mh_frimg1 all the festival related stuff i find around the net i will be posting on here through the northern summer.
June 3, 201115 yr Author Rock Am Ring 2011 coverage http://www.dasding.de/rockamring i can't read a word of german but i get the impression from that website that you can watch the stream there of coldplay's headlining performance. as well as Interpol, Gaslight Anthem and a few others.
June 3, 201115 yr uoh can you add Optimus Alive? July 6,7,8 and 9 :) Coldplay,Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds To Mars, Kaiser Chiefs, White Lies and so on
June 6, 201115 yr Author optimus alive added :) Primavera took place last week. it was broadcast by radio station WFMU. you can listen to their recordings here. http://wfmu.org/playlists/SZ includes sets from animal collective, deerhunter, battles and interpol. Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park as you all know was last weekend. the line up was very very poor. i had a look at the set times and i would've been very bored had i gone. anyways here's a bit of footage. next weekend is probably the biggest of the year with Pinkpop, Bonnaroo, Isle of Wight, Jammin and Download Festivals taking place. fingers crossed for some good webcasts and tv coverage. Pinkpop almost always has decent radio and tv coverage with 3VOOR12? Bonnaroo i fear might be a Vevo only webcast meaning only those in north american can watch. Isle of Wight is usually covered by one of the british tv channels.
June 11, 201115 yr Author Bonnaroo is webcasting for all here - http://www.bonnaroo/webcast good line up of performances!! no such coverage for Pinkpop or Download. although Isle of Wight is being covered by Sky TV.
June 11, 201115 yr Author I missed Flo + Machine but My Morning Jacket are frken awesome. last time they played they did a 3hr+ set. they've been going for almost 2hrs tonight as well. i'm expecting a massive set from AF.
June 12, 201115 yr Author so anyone watching M&S? holy crap these guys have become one effing huge rock band!
June 12, 201115 yr Author and they're doing a 90min set!! i've seen bands with 4-5 albums who only do 80min sets *cough*phoenix*cough* not a huge fan of their album but probably one of the most impressive live shows i've ever been to. great muscianship, great stage presence, great chemistry.....great everything really.
June 12, 201115 yr naww I love phoenix! But yes, I agree, they were definitely a highlight for the third day of Splendour last year. Just awesome.
June 12, 201115 yr Author i guess when it comes to live music i'm a firm believer in quantity= quality. annoyed that i'll miss AF's entire set thanks to freken work.
