So glad im not going to Reading this year.

noobpotato

as am i, the line up is all indie shit…and lethal bizzle lol

For once, Download has nabbed the majority of great festival bands. There’s usually enough bands on the Reading line-up to garner some interest from fans at the heavier end of the scale but this is poor.

And does your average MH reader need to know that Little Boots is playing Reading!?

Sam Ellis - Thompson

The only artist worth seeing here would be Lethal Bizzle.

gah, “Madina Lake fucking suck”

Metal Hammer could make that a new T-shirt slogan perhaps?

I’d buy 10 of those t-shirts

MLFS: madina lake f*@#%^! suck.

I’ve no idea who the majority of those bands are. There’s a couple I’ve heard of but never any of their music. While scanning it quickly my eyes caught the word “Airbourne” but that shot of interest soon faded away when I took a closer look.

Thanks Skumbo, I was worried I was the only one who had never heard of that lot. I know the obvious ones like Alexis, NFG, Bizzle (legend), You Me At Shit and Madina Lake (Fucking Suck) but that’s it. I’ve never heard of the rest. And I like precisely none of them. Sonisphere and Download have ALL the good heavy bands this year. Reading/Leeds may not have a metal band for a while…

Tony Martin

I’ll stick to mowing me lawn ta if it’s all the same…

Anything even remotely good announced on that list is immediatly countered by that fact that they have Crystal Castles on that list

For those who don’t know, Madina Lake>Crystal Castles

and Madina Lake fucking suck

Why the Fuck is this even on metal hammer? What a load of shit

Meh, Alexisonfire are awesome and Fightstar are alright, but everything else appals my eardrums.

the only band i like who are playing there is the Eagles of Death Metal and Alexisonfire glad i aint going!

Carl Loves Malefice

Makes Europe headlining the last day of Bloodstock seem brilliant.

Oh & agreed – Madina Lake fecking suck!

yh mike…y the hell r we even gettin this news?

I think its good that we get this info. Last year I went to Reading because of Metallica and Slipknot. Slipknot cancelled and the weekend was shit apart from Metallica. This year there is not one band to temp me to spend a whole weekend with indie kids, so thanks MH and Reading organisers for making my festival choices this year REALLY easy.

I’ve never even heard a Madina Lake song… but I still hate them.

Go Trivium.

……….
