Biggest draw?

[t8yman]

Agree with that but in the uk kol are bigger than ac/dc, metallica and iron maiden.

[pink_triangle]

that has got to be the single funniest thing I have ever read on the internet anywhere evaar.

pure class.

Kings of Leon will get the bigget draw i reckon as most of the mainstrem day tickets will be going for them. I do agree tht they are one of the biggest bands in the world and there popularity in the media has increased dramatically in the last year(ironically on their worst album). Radiohead should be close thow as radiohead fans are a plenty. I think the mainstream buzz has gone off arctic monkeys now but they will have a new album out by thenor atleast close after.

Personally i will be delighted if those are the 3 headliners and will be there for all of them. If only AC/DC were playing thow...a man can dream

[thomasowen]

no chance at all, until they've sold out world wide stadium tours like u2, rolling stones, metallica and ac/dc do without even trying to - then people can start thinking about claiming this......

radiohead will be the biggest draw easily

[NikNik]

In the band you say like Stones or Metallica or U2 or AC/DC you are talking about some of the most influential and biggest bands EVER. If were just talking about past sales we might aswel put KISS in there. Im talking of right here and now. U2 are getting back to being the biggest because they have just released there new album. B4 that i dont think you could have put them there because of not playing in the last 3 years or however long. Same as Stones. If you had to pick 5 bands of today who were selling out gigs all over the world, Albums and Singles being massivly succesfull and genunly producing good music you would have to put Kings Of Leon in there. I dont care for their new album but do beleive they are still a gr8 band and atm one of the biggest in the world.

they haven't even 'cracked' america their home land yet properly........they may be huge in the uk but there stupidly small in the states compared to say nickelback.........

I wouldnt rank kol as one of the worlds biggest bands because i think you need ot crack america for that accolade. However as there is no american leg to the festival its pretty irrelevant.

Radiohead - as most people won't get many chances to see them, as they don't do alot of UK shows, and they are incredibly popular.

It should be Radiohead and I expect it will, but I'm yet to come across a person I know who's actually happy about them playing

I honestly think it'll be Radiohead that draws the biggest crowd, day tickets will fly out for them, they haven't played Reading in years and are one of the best live acts around today.

IMO Radiohead r more suited to Glasto and Frankly i don't want them at R/L

There so up themselves, who do they think they are dictating to the organisers who should play under them!

If it was my fest the only reason I wud let them play main stage (if at all) would be becos that would be the only place to fit their egos!!!

[calumtom19]

you will find alot of headliners have a big say who plays under them.

how are radiohead up themselfs?

[pink_triangle]

Lucky for us natural selection tends to keep people like you confined behind the counter at McDonalds.

In my mind The Offspring are still a possibility to headline one night, but i have no doubt in my mind that it will be Radiohead that will get the largest crowd.

[pigshair123]

do we even know that radiohead have chosen who is under them?

No one has a clue, it's just talk right now.
