My Chemical Romance for Reading and Leeds?

According to Metro, My Chemical Romance will make their live return to the UK headlining this summer’s Reading and Leeds festivals.

The newspaper also went on to say that Guns N’ Roses and Blink 182 are also likely to be on the bill.

As previously reported, Blink 182 have been strongly linked to the August bank-holiday festival after bassist / vocalist Mark Hoppus announced a number of other European festival dates last month via his blog.

Not going to any festivals as I can't afford them. But Blink are obvious for Reading and Leeds.

MCR, I like them..but they may get boo'd off.

Guns N' Roses..Well, y' know, Chinese Democracy wasn't bad but they'll turn up late and get bottled, Axl will have a strop and throw his toys out the pram.

if mcr headline there is absolutely no doubt they will get bottled off, no way should they be allowed to headline, fair enough tehy should be there but defo not as headliners!
and as for GnR they SUCK beyind believe! axl is a pure twat and i would not waste my time and effort going seeing them as the every awesome member of GnR has wisely gone on to do something else. not impressed...however bring on blink :D

Blink have been rumoured for ages, MCR i agree should not be headlining, i've seen them twice at reading and have been awful both times. and if GnR are then in all likelyhood i'll give the post headliner "festivities" a miss after being woken up at Download in 06 to the sound of attack dogs barking away. I'll just wait til the Lock-up is announced

Both these bands are just awful :/ definitly not goin leeds this year if thats the extent of the lineup

bottled off? you are probably the same people that would rather go to Download or Sonisphere . I am going to Download this year so it isnt a knock on the festival, just some of the twats that give it a bad name by bottling bands that arent 'metulz' enough for them. Reading&Leeds is more of a mixture and indie thing, so if MCR are considered not metal enough for other fests then surely here they will atleast get a bit of respect seeing as there is a good bit of difference between bands like The Killers and Metallica , so i am sure they would do great and would actually make me interested in a ticket for once

Who's Guns n Roses? Never heard of them... Are they the ones who supported YM@6 on tour?
I think they are just trying to copy the name of Young Guns.

last time mcr played reading they were bottled off cos the promoters stupidly put them on after slayer!!

Are you fucking retarded!? ..(must be if you like ym@6 but anyways...) I personally don't like Guns n Roses but they've been around donkeys years, surely you've heard of the songs 'sweet child o' mine', 'paradise city'

i dont agree with bottling andy poo i jusat said thats what will probably end up happening, or they will defo get booed off, because not many people like MCR, i do, but i know alot of people who cant stand them. and actually ive been to leeds fest since '04 and they weren't well recieved last time they played. im just going off what happened last time, i hope they do end up surprising people

are you serious? MCR has the most die hard fans in the world, the place will be swamped with them. This isnt Download you know, most people like at least one MCR song, even if it is teenagers.

Should I know this stuff then? When was it released? 3 years ago?

gutted!! the only way i'll be able to afford to go is if i don't eat at all between now & then, but if not already dead i'll be too weak to enjoy myself!

.... can they just not do the gig in my back garden instead??!!

Posted by Lisa J | March 3, 2010 1:06 PM | Reply to this

hmm, not sure if mcr would headline, maybe main support, or headline the radio 1 stage. in recent years, former download headliners have headlined the radio 1 stage.

i personly think the 3 headliners would be GnR, Gorrilaz, and greenday.

blink will most probly play, i'd imagen they'd be main support to green day(if they were to headline) sound garden are also rumurd as in recent years reading have had a band that have recently reformed, eg, ratm, faith no more, pixies, smashing punpkins. but i guess that slot would be taken by blink.

what does everyone think?

not a fan of reading/leeds but would get a day ticket to see G n R!

LOL @iona clearly you'll tunr up at Leeds and presume youll see gnr when actually they wont be there cos axl is a cunt, and as for slash not writing his own stuff HAHA fuck you, ever since slash and duff etc have left axl has gone down the the shitter! clearly you iona have your head too far up your ass just like our bum boy axl! chinease democracy was dreadful and i am beyond certain a hell of alot of people agree with that!

chill out man! i said they shouldnt be a headliner i never said they shouldnt be there! and i dont mind them im speaking generally as last time they were booed off (cos they came on after slayer)! and ive been leeds fest for years mate so dont start giving me shit over forums, pretty lame that your comback is go to download? im 26 pretty safe to say if i wanted to go i would do.

Posted by emuu | March 3, 2010 2:59 PM | Reply to this

Blink would be a great headline for reading but GNR would be shit! I for one would be bottling that arrogant prick.
MCR are headline quality but they will definatly get bottled, im guessing its a risk the organisers are willing to take...

*facepalm* you have no idea. I love Guns N' Roses but CLEARLY you don't know shit. 'Some boos/broken bottles'? Axl fucked over Slash, Duff, Izzy and even Steven Adler from the start. They were a TRUE rock band with the line up prior to Slash and co. leaving. Nowadays it's Axl and pals. I love GN'R honestly and I'd go see them. But Axl doesn't give a shit. His heart and soul isn't in to it like Slash and co.'s are. Slash doesn't come on hours late because he gives a shit about his fans and the people who have paid money to see him in whatever form. Axl will come out and fuck over fans because he feels like they hang off his every word. While he's a good songwriter and singer, it doesn't take away he's a cunt. Being a cunt ISN'T TRUE ROCK. Giving a shit about the fans and putting out 110% in to it is what rock and playing music is all about.

P.S. Learn to spell.

mcr would ruin the lineup and if they do play i hope al the emos at the front like the smell of my piss =p all for gnr playing.

I'd be chuffed if My Chem played because I haven#t seen them in over two years but I kinda really dislike GnR and I think Blink will be a let down :/ (please don't hurt me, just my opinion) but yeah if My Chem play then I may go.

mcr are crap and i'm sick of hearing about them even if was a while ago they are annoying. Anyway Blink 182 yeah i love them i hope they do a uk tour because i'd rather go to that than a festival ,i hate festivals they stink of poo and piss and are not clean and it's so much better to just go to a gig.

Posted by sarah | March 3, 2010 6:03 PM | Reply to this

I am a big fan of MCR and i'm going to Download this year and if MCR are doing Leeds then i'm off to that as well, i don't think bands should be bottled just coz you don't particulary like them, you would get pissed off if someone bottled your fav band so don;t do it to other peoples fav bands.

Posted by Paige | March 3, 2010 6:47 PM | Reply to this

I'm absolutely sickened at the comments on this page. You'd honestly pick Wank 182 and My Clitoral Romance over the legendary Guns N' FN' Roses?

What a load of Molten Gay.

guns n roses was the biggest sack of sh*t, at download the other year, not guns n roses sorry... Axl and the circus

GnR aren't a bad live band when they're on form and i think they would be a great headliner. but no matter what happend at least it would be a memorble.

cast your mind back to download 2006, axel was such a dick. he complained that the floor to slippy, and went off stage for about ten mins, making the crowd bottle them, making the bass player have a strop when a bottle hit him.

i think blink and my chem in the same festival would be awesome!

MCR=Shit... Basically.

Posted by Sarah | March 3, 2010 10:23 PM | Reply to this

...and 100% gonna go Reading if it were the original Guns N' Roses lineup, that is, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steve Adler AND Axl, an individual that is pretty easy to form a hate-club against. But, he is still a respective, and arguably, important member of the true GN'R outfit.
If that is the case, and the organisers can pull a shot (ie. Pay them a shitload of money to reform and headline) I don't really give a flying toss who else is at the festival other than that.
£195, £500, fuck I'd pay a grand if I could witness them, together, playing Appetite For Destruction in its entirety- I wouldn't give a shit if they are all aging rockstars now, I'm sure a load of Guns fans would agree that if that could become true we would BE there!
Festival headliners are always gonna divide mixed reactions from fans, that's a given every year for Reading and Leeds every year. Why waste chucking your beer and spreading hate? Drink it up and party hard, that's the entire reason we're there, to enjoy music, wallow in our filth with our mates and have a good time.
Woahh there. Sorry for the essay.
Over and out.\m/

Posted by Ben Rist | March 5, 2010 12:00 PM | Reply to this

I take it you was one of the people who left after 20 minutes? It was not their best show ever, but I cant count the amount of bands that have had worse sets at download.

OH NO I DIDNT KNOW THAT BOB LEFT I WILL REPLACE HIM EVEN THOUGH I DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY DRUMS

Im not a fan of MCR but fair play they do deserve it. If a band like lostprophets can headline why can't MCR they have around the same amount of fans, if not MCR has more! Just because it's not to your taste, doesn't mean they don't deserve to be there. BLINK 182 <3
