00:08The Friday night we're going with My Chemical Romance, the Saturday night The Strokes and the Sunday night Muse.
00:19All three absolute exclusives for the UK. Muse, as it happens, is a European exclusive.
00:27You know, Two Door Cinema, we chatted a little bit about Two Door Cinema and they're playing the main stage.
00:34They played the NME Radio 1 stage last year and recorded the highest ever barrier pressure that we've had at
00:41the festival.
00:41I record the pressure at the barriers and it was unbelievable, quite frankly.
00:49Very keen to see Elbow actually, an Elbow on that main stage with a crowd that I think will be
00:56hugely appreciative.
00:57A, you know, of their origins, A, of their roots, but ultimately of their songwriting, which is, you know, just
01:05staggeringly, staggeringly good, really.
01:07To be fair, I take my hat off to, you know, to BDI. I mean, it's a, you know, it's
01:12a fantastic album. It's a great album.
01:14Liam will be doing, the band will be doing what they know best, which is just getting up on stage
01:19and just going for it.
01:20And we know that more than anybody, in fact, if anybody has defined going for it, it's probably Liam Gallagher.
01:28A particular change is we're increasing the size of the NME Radio 1 stage for all the obvious reasons.
01:35The demand, it's got a vibe there. It's got a feel to it that I think we would lose if
01:42we made it another outdoor stage.
01:44And it's a thing to do in some respects, but Neil and I are really keen that we maintain it
01:50as a tented stage.
01:52There really is only, you know, three specified, you know, four specified websites, your own website, you know, our website
02:00at Reading Festival Stroke,
02:02Leeds Festival Stroke, Festival Republic, you know, Sea Tickets and Ticketmaster. The rest of them just don't do it.
