2011 Lineup

[beards]

The offspring against the strokes would be a killer...

[Dukeeyyy]

Or something like Manic Street Preachers as they released an album towards the end of last year, headlined in 08 so playing third so probably a similar equivalent

Or put The Streets there, and Primal Scream headlining NME on the Sunday, couldn't think of anything better to finish the festival with

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

Yeh i could see that, but would probably want to sub

[rexclark]

I fancy a dance act headlining/subbing (that isn't The Prodigy or Faithless). Won't happen though.

& where have these rumours about Daft Punk come from? I must have missed something.

The crowd at Reading would be more up for it than these light weights.

[Leyser]

What did the Rockness guy say? Damn I was hoping for Daft Punk because some guy (what a reliable source!) was saying they are playing Rock en Seine, which often shares a headliner or two with R/L.

[Bisque]

Have The Subways confirmed (again) yet?

[Leyser]

Daft Punk played Rockness in 07 (I was there ) and every year everyone asks the organiser to get them again. Jim King (the Rockness organiser) did a Q&A last night and was asked why Daft punk weren't booked and he replied that their tour manger said they're not doing any fests this year.

Now this could be wrong but I doubt it sadly.

[rexclark]

Ahhh I see, haha I bet there were many stupid questions in that session.

Lets hope it's not true

[Buko]

According to "Leedsfest.org" Muse confirmed their appearance at the NME awards by showing a listing of their future shows.

The event is being televised on Saturday so we hopefully should be able to confirm this.

[Yellow_Fellow]

It happened backstage?

[Buko]

I dont know to be honest.

I'm sure they will have back stage interviews of some sort.

[JID]

apologies in advance for asking this

when is the line up announcement made?

and when do the day tickets go on sale?

[John92]

Line up is announced at the same time as tickets go on sale (or maybe 10-15 mins before, not sure) and this will probably be mid-end of March. Last year they went on sale at 7pm, if i remember correctly. The headliners are confirmed/(or more or less confirmed) during the day through NME and people on this site.

[PaulDavis]

Also on Zane Lowes show he announces at 7,

[saints15]

Yeah I think Zane Lowe makes the announcement at 7 and then tickets go on sale at 7.15

[Yellow_Fellow]

other way round

[Hart Attack]

Last Monday of March, as usual?

[sm93]

V line-up gets announced tomorrow so I guess that will give clues as to some of the smaller indie bands that will be playing.

[sm93]

Not really, any band small enough to play both wouldn't be in the 1st announcement. Pretty much all tomorrow means is any band announced wont be at R&L.

Edited February 27, 2011 by sm93

[jump]

Not as in they might play both, as in bands certain to be around this summer who aren't at V would make them more so for R&L, as well as ruling out some. Like Two Door Cinema Club and Bombay Bicycle Club (I realise they're both not that small now) who might play midway up the second stage at V. If they're not there, they're pretty likely to be playing R&L.

Also: Mumford.

[onemangang]

when will R+L start announcements do we think?

[Guckeery]
