Ash...

[Taylor.]

Added as a rumour, caught a glimpse of them in 2007 wern't to bad.

Thoughts? Would you like them to be added?

[Lithium05]

Nah, when Zane Lowe made the first announcement he confirmed the three bands currently topping the R1 stage are the headliners. I think they're pretty much set in stone.

[Benj]

Wouldn't mind but seen a few times already so no big miss.

What's intresting is where the f**k could they play though? Maybe Sunday Main, as they must be far too big for FR stage unless they are a NME headliner like last year with Faith No More & Lostprophets?

[KingOfTheRodeo]

Ash headlining the FR stage on the GnR day would make the line-up perfect.

[dirtydenzel]

Going to see them tomorrow night and can't wait !

They are mint live !

I think it was '96 when Ash had the best festival t-shirt for years "3 boy hard-core action"

Oh yeah and they're great live.

Ash may not have mainstream success anymore but are still popular with the reading/leeds festival crowd. I think the tent would be rammed for festival republic and thye could easily pull a decent crowd high up in the radio 1 tent.

does anyone no why they are a rumor? ? ?

Ash on the rumour list? That's good news. No idea where they'd fit on the line-up though.

[Vieuphoria]

Stick em under LB so i dont have to sit through YM@S. Would be 4 great acts in a row before i look elsewere

[ArcadianDreamer]

Apparantly, at their Leeds Met gig the other night one of them said something along the lines of "We'll see you again in the summer at a well known near by festival."

[petewilson09]

saw ash on sunday at newcastle academy and were awesome, a lot better than i expected! wasnt sold out though so could headline FR stage, hopefully on GnR day!

they said they would be playing gigs agin in autumn which opens them up for leeds/reading.

parlotones were good support aswell!!!

[ap3311]

This was a nice surprise when logged on today. I'd love to see them but not over GnR/Blink. FR on Saturday or slotted in somewhere please.

[fat_man_joe]

I'd love to see Ash but would never spend the like £23 they're charging for it, so this would be perfect.

I think they're still way too big for the FR tent. They headlined NME 3 years ago. and Although they have dropped off the radar a bit, this is a band who has sold around 8/9 million albums, headlined festivals etc in the past. In fact they only just headling NME 3 years back. They're new compilation is getting a bit of hype too. Think they're more likely for main if anywhere now.

[rexclark]

Really hope they play (but no doubt they'll clash with someone I really want to see).

Personally I would say they're to big for the FR, I wouldn't say they're any less popular now than they were when they headlined the NME three years ago even if commercially this is the case.

Ash

Phoenix

[pink_triangle]

Speaking commerically what happened with their A-Z single thing was that popular as I didn't actually hear one those songs anywhere?

[rexclark]

Surely if Ash are playing it'll be the Saturday Leeds/ Sunday Reading? With Russell Lissack playing with them now and Kele Okerke playing on the NME stage it would pave the way for a secret Bloc Party set! Second top Main Stage?
