Reading 2011 line up prediction

[Role Model]

R.E.M would be an inspired booking, back to the hoping game.

[Vieuphoria]

Lol at the person who said soundgarden to headline. I wouldnt even say they are big enough these days to headline download, more than likely they would sub.

[choadus]

I think its about time Biffy were given a chance at headlining.

[VCK]

R.E.M would be an inspired booking, back to the hoping game.

[micawber]

Wrong.

If Arcade Fire can headline, so can Soundgarden.

If Blink-182 can headline, so can Soundgarden.

If Rage Against The Machine can headline, so can Soundgarden.

If The Smashing Pumpkins can headline, so can Soundgarden.

If Pixies can headline, So can Soundgarden....

etc etc etc etc etc

[Role Model]

Yeah I honestly can't see Soundgarden headlining the main stage now, although not impossible, i'd class it as highly unlikely.

[Vieuphoria]

You're letting your heart rule your head. Whilst never impossible, I think it more likely that they would headline NME a la Manics, FNM, Ash, LP, etc unless they chose to sub a headlining band that they respected.

[jump]

I'm not at all.

One of the biggest names of the Grunge era (and the festivals "golden era" to most one woudl assume).... Have co-headlined before. If Audioslave can get 3rd on the bill, and Rage can headline.... So can Soundgarden.

Soundgarden in a tent would show just how low this festival is sinking. When a band like Blink can headline... sickening

I think Soundgraden can headline but a stretch, but you can't compare then to Blink & Rage as they are we're both still popping up regularly on alternative radio & TV music channels despite the break up and still getting new fans during that time.

[VCK]

Show me one fan of music who has not at least heard Black Hole Sun.

Plus Spoonman, Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose are all played semi regularly on music channels and alt radio stations. I really don't think it's that unfair of a comparison. All bands where huge, sold millions and broke up. It's kinnda like selective history, Blink 182 as they are more recent, but SG who were one of the band responsible for the biggest revolution in music of the past 2 years... no no no nooo..

Guys please stop predicting SG for NME. SG are not going to play full stop. But if you will predict them, predict for Headlining main, or subbing main, NME just wouldn't happen.

[Vieuphoria]

Thats my point. They aren't goimng to play Reading because they will 100% be offered headline slots for places like Download or Soni. So why would they sub Reading. The point is they won't headline NME, if they do play Reading it will be high main, if they don't get that they'll headline elsewhere.

[the_mars_volta]

Iron Maiden

Blur?

Linkin Park

[Joe-]

System Of A Down

Foo Fighters

PULP

Maybe Green Day, Eminem, REM, etc.

[Smally]

Is Morrissey headlining the NME too far fetched?

If not, you heard it here first

[Vieuphoria]

I would say yes. But only because i don't think he'll ever be back.
