2009 Headliners - Place your bets now

[thomasowen]

probably 2 out of the 3 healdiners will be bands that have already headlined glastonbury in the last 2 yrs, all before reading.

[thetime]

I reckon that with the number of proposed reunions/ bands back from hiatus that we're likely to see a few of the following batch of big names:

NO DOUBT

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

JANE'S ADDICTION

AC/DC

PLACEBO

Personally at the mo my faves for headliners are:

FRIDAY- GREEN DAY

NO DOUBT

PLACEBO

SATURDAY- ARCTIC MONKEYS

THE STROKES

WEEZER

SUNDAY- AC/DC

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

SLIPKNOT

That is all.

[fat_man_joe]

have placebo got a new drummer yet?

[Azzy G]

AC/DC, New album, and only a few UK tour dates for it

Green Day, New album soon

KOL/Arctic monkeys (If either of them play, ill be watching something else)

I doubt Oasis, because theyre doing a stadium tour and 3 wembley shows in the summer

And Foos are taking time off

[flossy_]

Kings, Greenday, Radiohead

Placebo, Lostprophets, Klaxons, Weezer and Yeah Yeah Yeahs in there somewhere

[harrisonmuse16]

im gonna go with

fri- KOL

sat- Prodigy

sun- ACDC

aswell as klaxons, marilyn manson, and possibly strokes if they get a new album out

[Mr.S]

Im going with

AC/DC - very few dates anounced, looks like they'll be playing a lot of festivals instead (plus they put the Reading/Leeds thing on their website..)

Green Day - New album soon, plus world tour - would make sense to headline festivals.

Arctic Monkeys - new album - will draw in the punters etc.

KOL could be a headliner, but this would be their...3rd year doing the festival circuit in a row, with arena dates, personally i think they'll take a break this summer.

i think a few reading hardliners are going to be bitterly dissapointed.

a had a chat with a mate of mine at festival republic yesterday.

Arctic Monkeys AND Kings of Leon are virtually signed and sealed.

Radiohead are nearly there but not as close to being done as the other 2.

And thats your 3!!

LOL!! Someone else with 'inside information'.

in this case, he is.

However, his info is out of date.

[thomasowen]

This is all very cryptic - what part of your information is out of date?

[chubbz]

in this case, he is.

However, his info is out of date.

[Tugger2k]

So can we assume from this that it seems Radiohead have signed then?!?!

[chubbz]

if anything, i would guess that theyve turned it down.

but i should know more in a couple of days!

[Tugger2k]

Bollocks! Would be a real shame.

[chubbz]

While you're on see if you can work some magic and get them to get someone to get Primus on the bill.

[Tugger2k]

What makes you guess that? It would leave them in a bit of a whole wouldn't it, less than 3 months to go until the announcment.
