who would you like as fr tent headliner?

[thomasowen]

Surely Art Brut are due back? They've got a big cult following and haven't played since 2005.

[rexclark]

I could actualy see these headlining FR stage.

[benissright]

3 really shit bands so i dont have to be upset about missing them.

Unlike last year with dan le sac clashing with ratm

[smeebob]

white denim

black lips (i think theyre more or less confirmed anyway?)

animal collective

late of the pier.

[Messiah Jason]

From what's been mentioned Art Brut would do nicely but Animal Collective would be even better 'cause I'll have to miss them at Glastonbury.

Animal Collective for Saturday!

[Ashaz42]

Reel Big Fish please

I know they're probably Lockup sized headliners maybe? But if they were on the Arctic Monkeys day, then I'd explode with winness.

[rockinthecasbah]

Just noticed Bon Iver's in the UK the weekend before Reading for the Green Man festival. Would love to see him on the FR stage.

[fat_man_joe]

Idlewild, Art Brut and My Vitriol for me

Then again this is blind hope.

[thomasowen]

Grizzly Bear would be good.

[Budweiser]

crazyfists on the arctic day please.

[tombenj]

Idlewild

Art Brut

My Vitriol

The Get-Up Kids

Nightmare of You

The Spinto Band

mewithoutYou

Stellastarr*

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Should all feature if FR knows what's best for them.

[Bradders]

Bring back Hot Hot Heat for Friday night. Watchin AM and Radiohead other days so im not bothered

[VCK]

Maybe Seth Lakeman could do it?

[twenty_foot_chickens]

Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver would make three excellent headliners. Maybe Death Cab for Cutie.

Stellastarr, Art Brut and Hot Hot Heat would all be welcome too.

Would also like to see:

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead

Asobi Seksu

The Breeders

Caribou

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Sons & Daughters

Those Dancing Days

The Von Bondies

1990s

Personally i think Black Lips will be one of the headliners, I'd put money on it.

Got a nice following in this country and a huge back catalog. Good Bad Not Evil and 200 Million Thousand got awesome reviews from all the 'right' places (NME, Pitchfork, Observer etc etc...). They've gained a considerable amount of popularity over the last couple of years, endless touring of weird countries, their infamous Heaven gig in London and getting chased out of India by the Tamil police.

They said to NME that they 'thought' they were playing but short of opening the mainstage (which would be horrible) I can't see anywhere else where they could play. Spoke to both Jared and Cole in Liverpool after their gig about 2 weeks ago and they said they would be back over in England later on in the summer and that they were sure they were playing R/L.

In my opinion they would be the best out of every headliner. Proper amazing live band.

[robsadler]

death cab for cutie are surely way too big for the FR stage?

IF they were at leeds it would be one of the main stage slots.

Animal Collective on the Reading Friday would make me feel like running down the street naked. If they were headlining any other day though I'd be gutted.

[devbot]

I think Black Lips are a dead cert to headline one night - please please please friday. One of the best live bands I have ever seen.

I think Okkervil River could headline one night too. They are in the UK at the beginning of september - so they'll be around.

There's no chance of Animal Collective headlining FR. They played there a few years back and they've grown in popularity a lot since then, 'specially with MPP.

[rexclark]

I'd love The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre to play. Highly unlikely though.

Boys like Girls possibly high up somewhere?
