Queens of the stone age?

[hilliard05]

they seem to be mentioned occasionally in peoples "line ups".

does anyone have any info on them?

[the_mars_volta]

In the tent when Blink 182 are on PLEASE!!!

[Dirty Boots]

I'm hoping for mainstage under The Libertines.

If they get put it the tent there will be a lot of very unhappy customers.

[hilliard05]

do you think tent or main stage?

[kibble]

It'd be mental in a tent. They'd easily get 40,000 people wanting to see them.

( If they were on same time as Libertines that is)

[FloorFiller]

i think you're overestimating the popularity of QOTSA

they'd pull a f*cking amazing crowd, but against Blink, GnRs or Arcade Fire, not so much

they'd probably fill the tent better than any of last years NME headliners though

I'd happily watch QOTSA in the NME Tent instead of any main stage headliner playing this year..

[Dirty Boots]

Judging by the amount of people that were at the mainstage in 2008, it would be very unwise to put them in the tent.

No One Knows (2008), 2 mins 55 secs.

4 mins 20 onwards ... imagine that in the NME tent. Would be horrible. Hopefully FR will be much too safety concious to do such a stupid thing. That is IF they play.

pretty sure most of them were waiting for RATM tbh

QOTSA were just (well, should've been if they weren't so bad) bonus beforehand

they'd go down well in a tent

they're no bigger than Lostprophets in the NME last year so i doubt there'll be any trouble with overcrowding

[Dirty Boots]

Of course they will.

[FloorFiller]

No bigger than lost prophets?

i'd have thought they would draw a bigger crowd?

[Sparticus]

blink vs qotsa would break my black heart!

stick them up against either arcade fire or libertines though and i'm all for it (secretly hoping for this, leeds has been really good for me in terms of clashes over the years, let's hope it continues!).

[Dirty Boots]

can't really see why - would've thought it'd be a pretty similar sized crowd in all honesty

depends what headliner they're up against really

i suspect they'd be on at the same time as Blink, which would decrease their crowd severely

Sorry, but I really don't see why people on here think they will be playing the NME tent.

2005, they played under The Killers and Pixies. 2008 they SECOND-HEADLINED under Rage. With the exception of Faith No More (who don't really count imo) there hasn't been a big American band headline the NME stage in the last ten years ... at least. Bands like QOTSA don't tend to headline the tent, it's as simple as that really - I don't see why this year will be an exception.

Queens of Stone Age could be clincher in me going to Leeds.

Arcade Fire and Libertines not playing Glastonbury plus every year I look at Leeds/Reading line up and the undercard is really good (not always that big on their headliners), but generally August bank holiday I've been at weddings etc.

This year I should be able to make it though.

[Dirty Boots]

do you think they will be on the main then? or not playing?

[Role Model]

after the half arsed performance last time, i do hope they're in the tent or not playing.

does anyone have any information on them playing or is this just speculation?
