Paramore For Reading Festival 2010?

Paramore look almost certain to bag a slot at this years Reading festival, after eFestivals revealed them as a "TBC." (To Be Confirmed) Basically this is the strongest label a band can get from eFestivals, and they are an ultra reliable source!

This comes only days after eFestivals revealed that they think Blink 182, Arcade Fire and My Chemical Romance will headline this years event.

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this one?

Gorillaz Could Still Perform At Reading Festival 2010

The Gorillaz could still steal a slot at this years Reading festival, despite the headline slots being taken.

Main member Damen Albarn said that they would be hitting some major UK festivals this summer, at this years NME awards and what makes them even more possible is that fact that Albarn has also dismissed Glastonbury. He explained that the band "Weren't ready."

Does this leave the doors wide open for a Reading slot, maybe as a supporting headliner?

Daily Star Twist Line-up Speculation Even More!

The Daily Star have added another twist in the Reading festival 2010 line-up today by publishing the following statement:

"Spies tell me Arcade Fire and Blink 182 will join Green Day in topping the bill at Reading and Leeds Festival."

Greenday have now been dropped by eFestivals, however the Daily Star should not be ruled out as a bad source of news.

The paper announced Paul McCartney would play the Isle of White festival and he was officially confirmed today.

Thoughts and opinions? 

eFestival Line-up Changes Confirmed

efestivals have published their line-up changes for Reading Festival 2010, as expected.

They now believe that Blink 182, Arcade Fire and My Chemical Romance will headline the festival.

Here is what they had to say:

"Arcade Fire - returning after a few years, this time we understand that they're set to headline.

Blink 182 - after a few years away, these guys are back and we understand that this year they'll be taking one of the top slots.

And finally, the act we're least sure of but believe are the third headliner are My Chemical Romance."

Comments and thoughts everyone?

Lostprophets Could Perform at Reading Festival 2010

The Lostprophets have told fans that they 'might be performing' at this years Reading festival 2010.

Fans had asked the band at various gigs if they will be performing.

The band are currently touring the UK and promoting their latest album release, "The Betrayed."

Pendulum For Reading Festival 2010?

Pendulum are the next act to self-confirm themselves for Reading festival 2010.

The dance act, like All Time Low, told fans that they will be appearing at the annual event after a gig in Leeds last week.

You can see the evidence on the eFestivals forum here: http://bit.ly/brhjke

We think there is a good chance that they could either headline the NME tent, or play a slot low down on the Main Stage.

If you have any thoughts on this then please leave a comment. Its worryingly quiet around here...
