Green Day added as a strong rumour!

[Mike Patton]

Get the Pumpkins back! It's been two years too long!

[Mike Patton]

he had a hit in the 80s with hole in my shoe!

nah, he runs this site posts with the username "efestivals"

Has anyone said Faith No More yet? as there is loads of stories about them getting back together this year for festivals and tours, they are down as rumour for Coachelle too....

Now if these guys played it would be bloody amazing!!!

Possibly Pearl Jam too imo

[Marshall]

I remember once suggesting the Pistols as a possible Sunday headliner and getting into an argument with (many) people who believed they'd play lower than headline.

Sunday 2000

# Stereophonics

# Placebo

# Slipknot

# Rage Against the Machine

# Blink 182

[Mike Patton]

I really can't see Sex Pistols being the final band on the Sunday, not a chance in hell.

I wouldn't want them to be either, personally.

[VCK]

No thanks. They were disappointing enough last time.

Oh and that Sunday 2000 (most eventful day in Reading history?) line-up looks weird. A day of bands like RATM, Slipknot and Blink 182 headlined by Stereophonics?

not forgetting a cameo appearance by Mr Tom Jones!!

Just a suggestion but maybe Slipknot, did sell out most venues on their tour and have hinted they'd like to come back, doubt it will happen but just throwing a name in, other than that i'd say either Guns N Roses or Linkin Park if new albums done.

They wouldnt go from 3rd to 1st on the basis of selling out most venues and having an album that few people listened to.

have double-checked what I'd heard about Green Day, and I believe that they're not playing Reading/Leeds this year.

I could be wrong, but I'll be very surprised if I am.

This might be because they'll be doing large (stadium?) shows in July with the Bouncing Souls.

what I've heard is that they're doing an arena tour this year, so you could be right.

Yep thats looks about right, there of the rumour list.

[howlin_pete]

Lost Prophets make the most sense to me at the moment. They would certainly draw a big crowd and have headlined Download and would fit into the 'heavier slot' compared to the other 2 probably headliners. Maybe Franz Ferdinand or My Chemical Romance? They may just dump up one of the bands they had planned to headline the NME tent or those who were just before the headliners

Lostprophets have no business headlining Reading, they were a total copout for Download as well - who booked them simply because they couldn't get anyone else. Much to Melvin Benn's amusement.

I'd love someone like fleetwood mac or Bruce Springstein to headline if they had the balls to get them

How about The Who?

[Ølivavu]

The Who, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen are all far too old for Reading.

I suspect it'll be something gash, if it's not Green Day...which I still think it is.

[Azzy G]

if its not green day, itl be someone like guns n roses, ac/dc or possibly even lostprophets
