MCR

[Role Model]

Haven't Snow Patrol headlined T quite recently? Didn't think they were that picky.

Melvin said his headliners wouldn't headline elsewhere if MCR sub or 2nd stage headline it would fit with what he said. Franz & Razorlight have both headlined R&L and then subbed at TITP.

T in the park doesn't count when Melvin talks about exclusives as he counts exclusive headliners as England and not the UK.

R&L share headliners with TITP near enough every year. If anything it makes it more likely that MCR will play (although personally I see them as a sub headliner and not a headliner)

I think he would only allow a sub headliner from elsewhere to headline R&L if that act was playing Glastonbury.

He made a big deal out of getting Faith No More to headline the NME stage after they were announced as Download exclusives. He said something along the lines of its gonna make a fool out of another festival. So to do it himslef would be suicidal.

If MCR are subbing somewhere else I don't think they will headline R&L it would make the festival look inferior to the festival that has them subbing. If MCR do sub-headline elsewhere I'd expect the same slot @ R&L, if they are playing at all.

theyre playing TITP but not headlining!!

good news!!

[jump]

It would be better if they did headline TITP as it would rule them out R&L completely.

Here's what they got...

Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Tom Jones My Chemical Romance, Deadmau5, Pendulum, Brandon Flowers, Weezer, Manic Street Preachers, Jimmy Eat World, Chase and Status, All Time Low, White Lies, The View, Jessie J, KT Tunstall, Blondie, Ke$ha, Cast, You Me At Six, Crystal Castles, Ocean Colour Scene, The Sa...turdays, Eels, Hurts, Bright Eyes, The Streets, The Vaccines, Noah and the Whale, House of Pain, Slam, Imelda May, Josh Wink, Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77, Miles Kane, Vitalic, Eliza Doolittle, Diplo and Stornoway.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

So let's wait and see what Download give us tomorrow before we jump to any conclusions. My guess is they'll be either subs or headlining a smaller tent at T in the Park.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Pulp are playing too, actually.

[saints15]

Who will headline if MCR don't then? Surely it will be a band who hasn't headlined before because I'd hope 3 previous headliners don't return to headline this year.

[Dirty Boots]

He would never allow a headliner to play another English festival (advertised at least) and he stopped Libertines from palying Glasto last year.

Yet Franz & Razorlight (as I've already mentioned) were both easily the weakest headliners that year and subbed elsewhere.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Are they? I just copy and pasted what was on their facebok page.

Let me just clarify (just woke up), this means MCR can't be headlining doesn't it? As all headliners are UK festival exclusives? Or does it just mean they won't headline anywhere else? Or are they exclusive to England?

[saints15]

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/11/110222c.shtml It's annoying that the article hasn't stated who is headlining but based on where it says MCR in the article, they probably won't be. This has surely reduced the changes of them headlining R&L though, as Melvin has said they will be UK exclusives rather than just English

[Dukeeyyy]

Yeh MCR surely now won't headline, because our headliners are UK exclusives, im sure, so Muse and Strokes are the obvious what about Radiohead? Blur? Red Hot Chilli Pepper?

[saints15]

Coldplay, Foos & Artic Monkeys. Melvin hasn't said they are UK exclusive just won't be headling other festivals
