ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
rise against have their moments and tbh that wud b the only highlight for me
Well, at least thats one less fest to throw into the already complex mix of tough decisions this year.
Sunday, Radiohead and Jane’s Addiction. Tempting if true.
AHA epic fail
this is incorrect
IL KILL EM ALL WITH SPOONS!!!
thats reading off my list this year.
shitest festival line up to date.
That is a bad bad line-up if true.
our only hope is the lock up stage!!! come on mike davies!
however rise against are awesome
looks shit
one to avoid….
It’s not true at all, made up by some pleb on Reading Festival online, and im amazed that Metal Hammer would actually post this.
SPOONS I TELL YA!!!
Fantastically innacurate. Keep guessing
that looks absolutely awful.
last year was metallica, RATM and was supposed to be slipknot as well.
that just sucks ass
Only Rise Against and Offspring are any good there…everyone else is like naw…
with that line up knebworth will sell a load of extra tickets! reading only have 3 to 4 token metal bands anyway.
rise against and lostprophets seem to be the onnly decent bands there
o and bfs jus cus there live shows a re fukin hilarious
This is rediculas. I know they did say last year there would be no metal or rock headliners…but i imagine last year was one of the most popular years the fest has had in years??
This is rediculas reading sucks
sorry lads but this line up is quite simply terrible
wow, this sucks as a festival line up, after last years line up, this divebombs as the worst festival line up this year.
Looks quite decent to me… typical metal fans moaning as usual!
Well that looks like a complete waste of a weekend!
well a can safely say that al no b at that this year. no that ad go in the 1st place tbh. download and possibly sonisphere 4 me. theres only 1 band in that lineup that i like
are you fucking kidding!! the worst fuckin lineup this year!!
nice if you like that kinda music! we have soni and DL if you don’t! happppy days.
screw u guys i think its pretty decent
Reading and Leeds,
you have failed if this is true.
Compare lasts years to this supposed line up… you can’t. If this is true, i have lost faith in this festival
This line up has been proven wrong ages ago, why are Metal Hammer (I thought a credible source?) even covering this ‘leak’ as anything legitimate whatsoever?
This whole ‘leak’ started from some loser pretending to know the line up on a forum.
Man, I can understand someone like Virtual festivals being dumb enough to think this is credible, but Metal Hammer? Seriously? That’s an even bigger fail then this (fake) line up.
you can’t appreciate other forms of music other than metal. this is a good lineup for music fans.
meh if its true its a bit of a shit line up mind i wouldnt mind seein rise against and bfs again
Its going to be the worst thing since Fall out boy was created!
Only decent bands there are The Mars Volta, Rise Against, Bowling For Soup and Jane’s Addiction =/
SLIPKNOT SHOULD BE IN THIS FESTIVAL !
PLEASE I WANT SLIPKNOT
WHY DOES METALHAMMER GIVE A SHIT ABOUT READING
ITS FUCKING SHIT
thats why i’m going to download festival.
gahhh .. glasvegas hat that band
Theres some rumors here too
lets be honest every year there are ‘leaked lineups’ and they’re never true, don’t read so much into it
Two good bands in the whole line up.
Neither are metal.. which leaves the question: why post this on ‘metal hammer’?
The Mars Volta – The only band to be bothered about.
This line up is awesome! cant wait to see offspring,weezer,rise against.. plus i know most of the bands i will want to see will be in the lock up tent.
If this is the real line up its crap so much commercial rubbish thats why download is so much better.
Only good bands are Bowling For Soup And Maximo Park.
you lot are all fucking loosers
shitest line up ever?
fuck off
tastless cunts
dont mind it however sunday last for me in nme =D
supposedly bmth are on aswell.
where the fuck are slipknot was gutted last year =/
If this is true I’m selling my ticket and going to Metal Camp instead
Probably a good thing as last year was just a huge piss up apart from Metallica who were beyond incredible
Think I’ll just stick with Download this year…
oh dear 1st radiohead sucks shit… 2nd arctic monkeys suck dick… 36 crazyfists are only worth watchin this year … download ftw.
this…in my view is awful to be honest…sonisphere all the way
lmao wtf happened
I fucking hope not!!!!
EPIC FAIL! this is shockingly bad.
DOWNLOAD FTW!
rise against have self confirmed at there last gig.
(Y)
Looks like Leeds is gonna be shite this year then.
This is probably made up, no one expected some of the bands last year. Plus Reading has always kept to having a rock day, indie day and metal day. This is obviously wrong then. Im sure the person who posted it will eat their words on Monday when the REAL lineup is announced.
You should be embarassed with yourselves Metal Hammer – this is not a leaked lineup.
Erm i very much think this is bullcrap. Something like this happerned just before the downloads festival anouncement.
why is there only 6 bands on main friday and 5 on sunday.
Also enter Shikari headling radio1 is just laughable.
Holy crap – thats a shit line up.
Good thing ive already got my ticket for Sonisphere!!
just to remind ppl…
Metallica
Linkin Park
Machine Head
Lamb Of God
Bullet For My Valentine
Thin Lizzy
The Sword
Alice In Chains
Nine Inch Nails
Killing Joke
and fuck loads more to come…
you’d be stupid to go to Reading…or Download for that matter as Slipknot, Tool and Jane’s Addiction are all strongly rumourd also.
WEEZER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty much all cock other then Rise Against
Compared to last year this looks absoloutly shit.
It seems only one of reading and download gets a good lineup. Last year it was reading, this year download. Sonisphere looks pretty class gotta say. that and download look like the two to be at.
whoever came up with this, RETARD
theres always an indie day, rock day and metal day.
and 36 crazyfists have confirmed
although tbh, pretty gutted mostly all the great metal bands are at knebworth
This is a fake.
Though you may not be happy with the real line up when announced. But there is a fair point made throughout these posts. If you don’t like it, don’t buy tickets. I’m not up for the main stage, but i know the lock up will be good.
Deftones have confirmed.
Funeral for a Friend have confirmed.
Anti-Flag have confirmed.
Lost Prophets have confirmed.
Billy Talent are a rumour going round.
36 Crazyfists are a good rumour.
And Gallows are doing the rounds.

EPIC PHAIL!
