they then explained that
"The Reading Festival line up is always decided a year in advance, changes are always made up till the festival though.
I live in Reading and work for the council, so i managed to speak to Melvin Benn the festival organiser, so i guess this is 100% official.
Also i liked to say thanks everyone for being so well behaved as usual, you are always welcome back to Reading."!
I would have thought that Melvin Benn would keep any line up info very close to his chest, and not tell some Joe Nobody that comes up and asks. I may well be proved wrong though...
It is very unlikely that Melvin Benn would give all that info away.
Also unlikely that limp Bizkit would opt for second on the bill to anyone. Similarly, can't see QOTSA below the Deftones.
It sounds like an educated guess, with an attempt to give it some credibility by mentioning Mr Benn (sadly not the Mr Benn of children's TV fame, I think...).
Still, Hives, Manson, Darkness, QOTSA etc. All fairly likely, I reckon.
yeh but QOTSA have a much higher profile right now so i reckon they'd be above deftones. anyway everyone always says are deftones gonna play reading but they never do so i don't think they'll be there anyway. i rwckon QOTSA could headline next year coz they've got a new album coming out next year. and they're much better than deftones.
ive got songs for the deaf and although it is a very good album its not a touch on any of the 4 deftones albums.
for you to say deftones are nu-metal shite is a total disrespect for the talent deftones have. reserve the nu-metal shite tag for bands that deserve it like linkin park
