well that sucks, was kinda hoping someone else would take arcade fires place :/ oh well, there's other stages. still has shit on last year though, which is a shame

No ideas on days, tho I reckon it's a breeze to guess. So I'll let you do that.

I stuck with AF cos I know my sources.

I messaged the guy (keese was it?) who posted that it was GnR, Blink & Libs, and said "is it possible that your source doesn't have AF cos they're a band that's off his radar", but he didn't really give an answer. I suspect that's why he doesn't have them tho.

I could of course still be wrong. But I'm 99%+ confident that I'm not.

Oh dear, worst headliners ever?

You know things are going bad when you have got a Guns n Roses tribute band and a junky as your main acts

so happy arcade fire will be headlining, no doubt in my mind they'll do great job. Anyone who doesnt know there stuff do yourself a favour an give there albums a listen, musical genious imo

[dirtydenzel]

Fair play to you Neil.

Not that impressed with the headliners to be fair. GnR at Leeds afew years back were excellent, even if they didn't come on until about 11pm.

Blink are not a headline act in my opinion. High up the bill, but not a headliner.

I like Arcade Fire, can't see them pulling a huge crowd to be honest, think the tent will be busy that night.

Undecided whether to go to Leeds for the 11th time or not, most probably will, just abit disappointed with the headliners, but as always there tons yet to be decided.

Good work Neil.

I knew to trust you on the two TBC's and I'm confident it will go through now. Makes it easier to drum up interest between friends when you know the top 6 just about.

With the acts they have got it looks like a reading and leeds set of headliners and im sure a lot of casual music fans will be impressed. Its not so bad in comparison to other festivals headliners.

Even If you don't like some of the bands.

[stylishkids]

Cheers for the info Neil. Can we presume that The Libertines special guests spot will be second from top?

[likelyladtom]

I think I'm much happier about the Libertines situation if they're not headlining. Excellent news.

[Porcelina]

This is perfect

I'm not that impressed with that lineup, GnR I've heard aren't great these days.. Arcade Fire I've never really listened to before.. I used to like Blink 182 when I was about 12, so it may bring back a few memories but I don't see them as a headline act!

Oh, and The Libertines were a great band but let's see if Pete actually turns up!! Could be in prison by then for manslaughter...

I'm sure there will be a few suprises on Monday

Could be worse, but could be better. Just my opinion though.

Blink-182 are my favourite band so that is great for me. Will just be interesting to see how they get on with headlining..

Arcade Fire, not really a band i like but hopefully someone else is on the NME stage.

I would probably watch Guns N' Roses if nothing else was on.

Really looking forward to the announcement on monday now. What days do you think these bands will headline?

[Yuh!]

Pretty happy with this, can't wait to see blink, I will see GnR unless there is something amazing on another stage.

Not too bothered about Arcade Fire so I'll probably be elsewhere, but overall pretty happy.

[Role Model]

it'll do, i have an interest in the 3 headliners one way or another, so i guess i'm happy enough.

[FloorFiller]

i personally love all three headliners so i'm very happy with this - i hope the NME headliners are not to my taste so that i don't have to deal with many horrible clashes

if the rumour of QOTSA playing is true that will sadden me as i'd love to see them in a tent, but ah well

getting The Libs, one of the most saught after bands right now, as a special guest, is an incredible feet for Leeds and Reading

do people think they'll play a one hour second slot or act as a sort of co-headliner with an hour and a half slot?
