so who do you think well get cause i end up watching these acts cause of the supposedly epic endings.

Thanks for your time, and your views are much appreciated as i cant wait.

[Tom_BG]

KOL/Stereophonics

Kasabian/Prodigy

[Flaminglippy]

I reckon it'll be Artics rather than KOL...despite all the rumours!

[danlen]

KOL/Stereophonics

Kasabian/Prodigy

[house44]

if it is kasabian/steriophonics dont u think they should be the other way round, phonics are much bigger than kasabian

[geofelgie]

KOL/Kasabian

Gorillaz/Robbie Williams

[thetime]

Have you ever seen gorrilaz play? Would be the biggest let down.

[house44]

no. stereophonics have a bigger back catalogue and have sold more albums for sure, but it doesn't work like that, in 2007 (i think it was?) travis played halfway down the 3rd stage, and they were huge in the early 2000's. i think stereophonics will be heading the same way in a couple of years. kasabian however are at the top of their fame, theyre selling out tours and all 3 of their albums have been consistent and sold well.

[j...rox]

Just on this note. Kasabian in November played 2 dates at Wembley Arena, pretty much sold out but not quite, also touts were selling standing tickets for around £10 even up to an hour before kasabian were on.

Stereophonics pretty much done similar however one wembley arena gig and one gig in the larger o2 which 90% sold out within a week.

Tour wise this makes them similar i guess. Album wise phonics have had more but Kasabian sold more in the last year for West Ryder. I guess co-headlining would be the fair way to do it. Both bands I love so couldnt really complain.

[Bunny]

I remember it well. Stereophonics were awesome and then most people left the main stage before Suede, it was very empty, I watched most of the set and they were'nt bad.

Macy Gray in 2000 was a different story - rubbish, the worse out of the top 4 ever. I sat down through all of it, waiting for Travis, who were brillant I thought that year.

[Mr Nasty]

I'll go for Kasabian, Wet Wet Wet, The Mandigans and The Strokes.
