Leeds predicted headliners, based on recent trends:

The Friday headliner the past two years (Reading Saturday the past 3) has been an Indie band - Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers. I'm going to nominate The Strokes for this slot.

Saturday, I'm going to go with Muse. Usually the Saturday headliner is the "golden goose" - Blink 182, Radiohead and RATM are all names that pull in the punters, as is Muse. And again, it's only inevitable they'll come back very soon. Also, I'm sure most won't object to them closing the Sunday at Reading.

The Sunday headliner the past four years has been the big American headliner - Guns N' Roses (if they don't pull out...), Kings Of Leon, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Plus FR Have a tendency to get a headliner not many predict. Whilst Muse and The Strokes are predictable choices...I'd say R.E.M. aren't. ;) I'll go with them.

I also expect to see Florence And The Machine, My Chemical Romance, Elbow, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Incubus, Bullet For My Valentine, 30 Seconds To Mars, Them Crooked Vultures, The Enemy and Glasvegas all make appearences.
