Gazza_20, I wouldn't look too deeply into this if I were you. The guy is clearly pulling your chain. I'm actually amazed this thread has gone on for as long as it has, to be honest.

It's like - people are saying, "is X band confirmed..." and the guy says "I'll contact my mate and ask" and then that's about the only thing we hear for a bit, and then suddenly a band name gets dropped and people go mental. He hasn't provided any sources or any real sound reason for not giving sources since day one with this thread - it's just a bunch of band names that seem semi-plausible. I won't say that he's bullshitting...

Well, actually, yes I will. He's bullshitting. It's just a bit of a pisstake to get people in the mood. If I went on to a message board relating to the Reading and Leeds Festival with sound information that suggested who the headliners were, I'd confirm it in a microsecond and THEN give the basis of the facts because of how relevant said information is. The only thing that stops people from giving sources is usually because they have none. This guy knows about as much as we do.

Why would anybody lie? Just to be trolls mainly. Cause a fuss. Be a nuisance. People 'need to know' certain things and they'll be prepared to take anything so long as it gives them an idea of what's to be expected, and all you have to do is go to the main Leeds and Reading news section to see what's to be expected in 2011 - "Expect a line-up of rock, alternative, indie, punk and metal."

Yeah it's all guess work.

I asked about Soundgarden and he said he would phone his mate up right now, still haven't heard anything about the subject.

I asked about Sonisphere, he avoided the question.

He said Foo's are headlining Download, when they are an IOW UK festival exclusive.

All the other bands that were asked about, he simply said they have been asked.

He said the offical R+L headliners are MCR, The Strokes and Iron Maiden, but then said Linkin Park might play.

He revealed Strokes as a headliner after it had already been leaked to the press.

As to RHCP, he said alot of festivals are interested.

If they are headliner exclusives then i'm going to suggest maybe Pulp are headlining Glasto and Foos might sub. I realise this isn't hwo it works. But i can see Foos wanting to play Glasto and if they are under an exlusive headlining contract then maybe they'd sub.

might not happen. I do doubt they are exlusives though.

Foo Fighters fanboys attention: no need to throw a hissy fit because i suggested Foos to not headline.
