I'll be at Trees too, I missed this years due to back issues (of 'What Car?' magazine) so I'll be fucked if I miss next years. Nice little announcement, I don't like the poster to be too full of bands I want to see because that just ensures you're going to have clashes and miss half of them, like at Deftones this year. That Friday Revival gimmick in the Forrest is electric, I'll be there with my camping chair and a crate all day!

I'll try and make sure to bring you a Christmas Stocking supply if I make it as far as the Forest that day. Considering buying an inflatable sleigh for next year.

Fall Out Boy are playing at Spurs. Poor supports considering the States got The Offspring didn't they?

Alan Sugar, We're Going Down.

I’m currently at the Fall Out Boy launch party (for fans, not a corp thing) and they’ve gone all out on this shindig. Free drinks, a raffle, complimentary flash tattoos, a themed photo both, DJ set by Alyx Holcombe and a tribute band. I’m impressed considering the short notice and there’s not even a new album.

So the Download announcement has been made. Not for me

I really hope Faith No More do side shows. I don't want to stand in a field with a billion drunk dickheads.

Super happy with that lineup given we aren't going next year.  Only 3 bands from the logo section I'd be remotely bothered about seeing and not much else jumping out (albeit half the fun is usually discovering new bands).

There’s an exclusivity clause apparently that there won’t be any other UK shows. I’m hoping it’s not true though but it seems they’re only doing festivals across Europe so far.
