That's being kind.

Chances of Manics doing Reading and Leeds if they are doing V?

The Manics being billed below Kaiser Chiefs is a crime surely punishable by death. On the plus side, All Saints are back back back.

I'm a tad surprised they're doing V over Leeds/Reading, but hey ho. Seriously doubt I'll go, even if they are on the same day as The Killers. I'm holding out hope that The Killers will announce another warm-up gig just before V, like they did in 2012 at Leeds Academy on the Friday. But even if they don't I can live without seeing them again and we've got the actual tour for the Manics anyway.

Don't worry, they've only been revived because of Ricky Wilson's appearance as a judge on The Voice.

No chance of Reading and Leeds. Getting a bit silly how much they've played V recently but not R/L. Embarassed to see them up there.

I'm wondering if the spate of festivals is due to a belief that the new album will do well?

I'd be perfectly happy with that lineup, but there's something very soulless about V Festival.

Weirdly, the last time I went to V, the killers, manics and lily allen were all there.

If you think the Manics' position on that poster is sad, look where Blondie are. Actual factual bonafide legends with the most famous songs of anyone on that line up.

Anyway, the Manics will get no better than the mid afternoon slot they were handed last time. It was awful then, it will be awful again. Wouldn't have been so bad for Rewind The Film but this doesn't do much to prove that this Futurology era is 4 REAL. Presumably, they won't be playing The Holy Bible in full at this one. They should, though, because it can't go down any worse than the hits setlist from last time. No, really.
