Martyn Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Wait, I'm confused. So does this mean that they are playing AT Reading festival or a show IN Reading? Why wasn't this on the first t-shirt we saw? A secret show, located in/at Reading, on the same weekend as Reading/Leeds Did that shirt list the (unannounced) Rome show? if it didn't...weird...might have printed earlier or something + they decided to run with it. Cos it'd be VERY weird for a fake to throw in that Rome secret show as well if they wanted to confuse people/get hopes up over Reading, AND they'd need to actually have gone to the gig + got a shirt to base that fake off! (as we haven't seen another photo with the same design/colors but without Reading) what? reading? Two shows. 1. London. 2. A secret show, same weekend as Reading/Leeds - with that photo (if real) hinting it's in Reading.
solongfromthestars Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I'm confused now. I really don't think I'd have a chance if it was the actual Reading Festival to be honest, but if it was a different venue somewhere in Reading there'd be a bit more hope.
Undómiel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So is the London one the slightly-bigger-secret-show...?

Martyn Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So is the London one the slightly-bigger-secret-show...? yes. well it seemed like it was, was expecting the other one to be smaller....even club sized. (nobody knew about specific details) this is quite a change of plan to that idea! (if true) So weird though, a secret show at Reading? Would they not prefer their own headline show? :/ it's weird..but weirder things have happened! + they're doing a headline show in london so they might be happy with that.
Hermione Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So wait, does someone know more about this or is it just the two photos we're going on?
daria02 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 @Martyn, do you know if (or can you say) if it'd be more convenient to book a hotel near the venue for the London show? Or would it be safe to book a hotel near London Kings Cross train station, if you know what I mean?
Undómiel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So wait, does someone know more about this or is it just the two photos we're going on? Martyn knows something and won't tell us.
Martyn Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 So wait, does someone know more about this or is it just the two photos we're going on? All i know for sure: A secret show in the UK on the weekend of Reading/Leeds. pretty sure nobody knows anything more than that!
Isabel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 But if a band plays Reading/Leeds, is there not some rule stating that they can't play certain size venues within so many days of the festival? If they played Reading then surely that would mean that the show in London would be smaller? ....or does that rule only apply to headlining bands?
netty Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 so you are expecting the London show to be bigger than Reading??? I must be on a really thick day coz to me Reading has a rather large potential audience. unless they are playing in a tent up by the car parks!
Hermione Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Martyn knows something and won't tell us. Ahh I see!
Hermione Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 All i know for sure: A secret show in the UK on the weekend of Reading/Leeds. pretty sure nobody knows anything more than that! Right then, cheers! Hope they announce something soon. Hmm I wonder how big this London show will be?
~ Walking Contradiction Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Found this on facebook: Reading festival, do you think? WAIT, WHAT? ROME?
Martyn Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 so you are expecting the London show to be bigger than Reading??? I must be on a really thick day coz to me Reading has a rather large potential audience. unless they are playing in a tent up by the car parks! Nooo. I mean, i had expected London to be bigger than the "secret show" + presumed the secret show would be a club sized venue. Obviously if it's Reading, then the London venue is WAY smaller. haha, my apologies for the confusion But if a band plays Reading/Leeds, is there not some rule stating that they can't play certain size venues within so many days of the festival? If they played Reading then surely that would mean that the show in London would be smaller? ....or does that rule only apply to headlining bands? Pretty sure that'd only apply to bands promoted as part of the lineup. They aren't playing arenas anyway so should be fine WAIT, WHAT? ROME? My thoughts exactly. Makes it seem more legit as they haven't announced a Rome show yet, secret show likely
~ Walking Contradiction Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I'm nearly crying. If this is true...sjfvhsfdjbndfjb god
Isabel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Pretty sure that'd only apply to bands promoted as part of the lineup. They aren't playing arenas anyway so should be fine But I think those venues that they play have to be reeeeally small or something? Just seems so strange, I never recall a band this size suddenly playing Reading, only announcing the week before.
Holly Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 YOU FREAKING WHAT? READING AND NOT LEEDS?! Green Day, I thought we were friends.
solongfromthestars Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Maybe it's a club in Reading then? Although that seems a massive coincidence seeing as it's the same time as the festival. what a shit page own.
Martyn Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 But I think those venues that they play have to be reeeeally small or something? Just seems so strange, I never recall a band this size suddenly playing Reading, only announcing the week before. I'd consider the venue they're doing "reeeeeally small" in Green Day terms, dunno if others would agree!
Isabel Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I'd consider the venue they're doing "reeeeeally small" in Green Day terms, dunno if others would agree! Ah right, ok. Uuuuuuugh, this is killing me now! I want to knooooooooooow!
netty Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I think all of us trying to find ways to get to this are suffering! I don`t usually bother even trying but this time.........just once!
Holly Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 This is all so awfully timed for me, if I wasn't on holiday now or off to Leeds Wednesday I'd just go down to London this weekend and stay in my mates flat until the show so i was prepared. It's got to be announced in the next couple of days surely, they know we know, the big teasers. Just please don't put the tickets for sale till atleast Saturday night.
Mary711 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 This is so exciting, I can't handle it anymore.
