gazza_20 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think the only feasible one we can think about is Blur and it being kept quite very very well. We know the top 2 pretty much we'd say with muse and strokes. If Neil can defo rule out its true that The Prodigy are not playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no info on Blur, but I reckon that the fact that Coxon is playing solo shows rules that out. Word I've heard is that Prodigy aren't doing UK fests this year.

Just Jake Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 So can you say if Muse Elbow The Strokes Pulp My Chemical Romance 30 STM looks likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adustlandfairytale Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'd say that looks pretty likely. And 30STM subbing MCR would be really good, as i think that 30STM are probably bigger than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andiee Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeah, they sold out their whole tour well in advance, and played similar venues to MCR, only toured around 5 months previous. MCR have been away for like 4 years, and the tour didn't sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe- Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 30STM and MCR would be absolutely horrible. Stay the f**k away from the main stage whilst those two play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Attack Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 This better not turn into another 2009 line-up... I couldn't care less about Strokes, Pulp or Elbow, and Muse are okay but won't get me excited. MCR and 30STM are great, but not enough - there needs to be a strong undercard that isn't full of NME bands to keep me happy. I'll probably go either way - I always have a great time there - but I still hope I get plenty of bands I like, particularly some big names and some that can really get me excited about the festival. Hopefully it'll turn out like my last poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishdragon Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I know a lot of people are dismissing them to the nme tent but what about The Offspring as headliners. They did headline Download last time. The Offsping My chemical Romance 30 Seconds to mars Its looks a lot stronger than MCR and 30stm on their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappiepunk Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 f**king hell this is going to be a shit festival this year, my advice is take more alcohol than you normally do, there will be no decent music to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow_Fellow Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 it's getting to the point where i believe there are no lineups, just people pulling out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishdragon Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 didn't someone pull out and thats the reason they headlined, as it was too late to get a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 MCR and 30STM would be the worst 1-2 in my time attending Reading. I respect the fact that there are people who like them, but to put two bands on who have such a similar fan base and who invite so much derision from nearly everyone outside that fan base seems odd.

rexclark Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think people are getting too caught up in the MCR chat and not looking at the bigger picture. Muse and The Strokes will put on great headlining shows. On top of that (if rumours are true) you'll have Elbow, the band most likely to do an Arcade Fire and be absolutely huge next year and rightfully so and also Pulp, one of the greatest bands this country have ever produced who will no doubt put on an amazing show with some classic hits. That four great acts so far and no one yet knows what's on the NME. All in all I recon it will be a good line up once it's all released until then we can all merely speculate.

Davis_89 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The point still remains. The Offspring are no longer anywhere near big enough to headline Reading and Leeds. MCR are the bigger of the 2 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
