Seen them twice, both breath taking shows. It's not who I wanted but I'll take it.

The thought is only slightly exciting me, I would probably be easily swayed away by something else.

I'm so confused.

I reckon we could all come up with a pretty large list of bands who could headline. Be it newer less established bands, legends who would be a real shock, reunion acts, established headline acts, previous headliners who've not played in a while or just band who could be good given the chance. I don't think we are as starved as is made out

Just seems to me at the moment its a rotation of Muse, Kasabian, KoL, Killers (although not this year) et al doing the rounds at the other UK fests. I would love two legends/big acts & a spot for an up & comer... I've given up moaning about MCR as I was listening to some of their songs earlier & I reckon they could "fill" the main stage & give an energetic performance. I will probably end up moving from dance to tent to NME & back depending.

See i don't thin it would be that hard to get more original acts. I mean MCR are a very poor example. Reached their peak (in which they only got 2nd top I think), and then making a very underwhelming comeback doesn't warrant a headline slot. It'd be like Paramore headlining next year in a few years when they aren't as big as they were.

But in terms of bands that could headline (not that would.... but bands that could if R/L were slightly more adventerous).... or even just bands who are considered headlining acts in general....

The Cure, Soundgarden, R.E.M, Depeche Mode, Pixies, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Prodigy, Stone Roses, Beastie Boys, Blur, Pulp, Eminem, The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Guns n' Roses, Green Day, Iron Maiden, Muse, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Metallica, The Killers, Kings Of Leon, Arctic Moneys, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Blink-182, Linkin Park, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, System Of A Down, Slipknot, Tool, Kiss, Faith No More, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Manic Street Preachers, The Verve, Coldplay, Queens Of The Stone Age, Oasis, Morrissey, Kasabian, Gorillaz, Jay-Z, The Darkness, The White Stripes, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Sex Pistols, Daft Punk, Portishead, Rammstein, Biffy Clyro, The Libertines, Bjork, Elbow, Fleetwood Mac, New Order.... okay I ran out. I realise some of these aren't bands at the moment, but in some cases if you throw money.. they'll show up. Pick any three headliners out of them and you've got a strong festival. I just wish they'd be more creative and look outside of the general tat they normally book. Some of these look very very out of the question like the likes of Sex Pistols and The Who etc... But i realise they aren't everyones cup of tea but these are legendary bands who people at a rock festival would appreciate on their recent tours. Acts like Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne, etc wouldn't get booked either. Why? Isn't this supposed to be the UK's premier Rock festival? Why can't we showcase it? It cannot be that hard to think a little harder. I'd be up for Daft Punk, AC/DC and Radiohead. Or Blur, R.E.M, and Green Day. Or Tool, Gorillaz and Eminem. I dunnoo....
