there doing a metal masters tour all of august so very unlikley
ive heard machine head are rumoured
i really fucking hope so i love them so much
Machine Head, they’re heavily rumoured lately. They’re on tour with Slipknot in the States, and supporting Metallica for some of the Euro shows, and obviously Tallica and Slipknot are playing leeds, so it sounds reliable
Anyone got any info to back it up?
GET THE BLACKOUT ON HERE….. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…..
does anyone know if duracell tent is there again this year?
i fucking love it in there
i hate life, im gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
leeds will be good though
Strokes BEG!
”lots of people are sayin that coldplay are gonna play in the small tent like kaiser chiefs did last year”
ive not heard one person say that bar you…and does anyone really care about coldplay when the rest of the line up is as good as it is?!
my mates brother works for reading and leeds, apparently nofx are due to play, and weezer. i really really hope its true
Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty things playing the same festival….Libertines reunion?!
JOSHUA QUILLIAM IS CONFIRMED FOR THE RADIO ONE TENT ON THE SUNDAY AT LEEDS AND FRIDAY AT READING!!
THE BROADCAST THE BROADCAST THE BROADCAST
NEED TO BE ACCEPTED TO PLAY THIS YEAR EVERYONE CHEKC THEM OUT THEYRE FUCKIN AMAZING!!!
NEXT BIG THING
i will never trust ebay again
i got two tickets in 2005 and got ripped off tickets were not sent to me and the guy did a runner with all the money letting lots of people down and i never saw my money again which was 440 quid for two tickets
id be careful and make sure they can back the ticket up
in the end i had to go on a last minute ticket site and pay a further 400 quid for 2 tickets…was the most expensive festival ever lol but was worth it as it was my 1st time
been going back ever since
the blackout shud play
yay!
took me 3 hours to get through, just to be told they had sold out, lol, i got 3 off ebay for £50 more in the end, lol
i went crazy when i saw the headliners man, AND SLIPKNOT!!!!!! hell ye, wish machine head were playing thopugh, saw them at the black crusade, f’kin amazing man. of course, stoked that metallica and rage are playing man, cant f’kin wait
There is a vicious rumour that on the unsigned tent/mini stage Led Zeppelin will make an apperance. Aparently its to boost people watching the unsigned acts.
Not sure there is a difference, they sound like the same thing to me.
what is the difference between a day pass and a day ticket? does one allow access to all stages and the other doesnt?
jack penate
?
HAHA LOOOOOSSSSSSSERRRSS who never got tickets… I GOT 1
:D:D
LOL!!!
is there still early entry tickets available coz i cant seem 2 get any??
btw cant wait to leeds what an awsome line up
=)
im hoping machine head will be added and enter shikari and fightstar
fucking so made up with slipknot though i love them and ive never seen them
leeds 05.06.07 bring on fucking 08
that is a freakin awesome lineup. cant wait.got my ticket for sure
I am really liking the 2008 lineup. Cannot wait for Leeds now. I am just hoping silverchair are added somewhere to the line up. Who is with me on this?
if u go on see tickets.com now
weekend tickets are still on sale from various pick up points with a coah
i cant believe i shit myself for over an hour
ive just been online now and i cud go from manchester which is what i do anyway
ahh well least im going wooooooooo
what a gash line up!!! Screw you leeds!!!
i bought mine bout 2 hrs after they went on sale, and they hadnt sold out yet. i got them from the see ticket bit. hope they’re real :s
deffo more bands to be announced yet…its an awesome line up, best one this year, deffo one of the best leeds in a long time anyway.
ive heard alot of people were struggling to get tickets, i managed to get mine as soon as they went onsale, and about 10 minutes later they were sold out. and i agree, ebay is ridiculous, ruins it when pricks like buy tickets then dont go and make a profit.
anyone know of any other bands that may be on the bill??
There will be many more. There are whole stages yet to be announced. And the Radio One / NME Stage has yet to be announced other than headliners. Expect further line up announcements throughout the summer in the lead up to the festival.
do u reckon these are all the bands or are there gonna be more added?
okey great lineup but I thought POWDERFINGER was coming to europe…… but rage will have to do for now……
I think they are I’ve been trying for ages and haven’t got through yet. Have you seen how many there are on E-bay? Fucking rediculus.
Are they all sold out on seetickets does anyone know?
This is my fourth year at leeds fest, and the friday this year is what I’ve been waiting for. Time to relax and listen to lots of metallica…..eeeexiiiit light dadadadaaa….enteeeerrr night! Off to Never Never Reading festival! South sucks balls, Leeds all the way!
