I'll go with

Arctic Monkeys, AC/DC, Kings of Leon

[deegs]

I'm gonna guess Blur, Arctic Monkeys, and someone else who I've not thought of yet.

[beLIEveR]

Radiohead are bigger than the Arctic Monkeys and Kings of Leon wouldn't play below them. Neil's pretty sure that Green Day and AC/DC aren't playing and I'm pretty sure that those three bands can't possibly be the three headliners.

So I'll go:

Radiohead

Kings of Leon supported by Arctic Monkeys

Iron Maiden

[thegremlin_1999]

i think headliner wise it'll be a let down...

so i've gone for Blur (ok, these i'd LOVE, gotta have some optimism), those damned monkeys, and KOL

KOL as the 'heavier' day headliners? but who else is there?

[thomasowen]

I assume these are reading days...

I think Arctic Monkeys, Kol, Greenday because thats what I have been saying since the last festival and I'm going to stick with it, in hope I'm right!

[moshing]

Are they days above for reading or leeds (might be worth saying in the poll)

[Role Model]

Kings Of Leon

Artics Monkeys

Green Day

In an ideal world Radiohead, but I don't think it'll happen.

[luckysalt]

Blur

Arctic Monkeys

Kings of Leon

[chubbz]

U2

[thomasowen]

Forgot to mention that ofcourse its reading why would it be the copycats

[produlum]

i reckon KOL, AM, then either greenday or AC/DC

id prefer greenday tbh and AC/DC at dload festival.

but if i had to put money on it, would be AC/DC at reading/leeds.

[gazza_20]

how do we know they are booked?

[Tilley]

Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon & Greenday.

As long as KoL & AM are there, I'm a very happy young man.

[theramm]

Arctic Monkeys

AC/DC

Jay-Z

[Englishdragon]

Kings Of Leon

Artic Monkeys

Green Day

at the minute but i think it could change by next

[moss265]

Arctic Monkeys

AC/DC

Jay-Z

Fact they're definitely already booked implies to me that blink have no chance for a start.

Arctic monkeys and kings of leon look pretty much certain for Reading now (KOL not playing IOL, AM not playing V), and I'd guess AM friday, KOL saturday, but could be either way realistically.

I'm gonna trust Neil in that AC/DC and Green Day aren't playing, and so I think Radiohead will be a controversial sunday headliner. If not, I would go for Green Day. Both were involved in talks - depends which sealed the deal.

Just like to point out, the quote from the focus group is from a long long time ago. It took FR ages to "confirm" the minutes. So long ago, that it was back when efests was saying they thought it was deffo green day am and kol. So it could well have changed.

The admin still insist that the headliners are now 100% booked. And i think they assume that green day are definitely playing and had never pulled out (but are not saying as much).

I wouldn't necessarily believe that - the people at ORF were saying they were all booked when they very definitely were not.

[£1.50 a pint]

I reckon;

Radiohead (if only)

KoL (uuuugh)

and Maiden.

But probably not.

[dan666]

Not maiden. Got no new stuff out, So i doubt they play. Be amazing tho.
