Oh god I wish.. I f**king wish and hope so much.

chemical brothers would be well good, radio 1 stage headliner! instead of the utter shit that's been rumoured so far (offspring, mumford)

[rexclark]

I've said in a few threads I'd love them to play but I can't see it. With their lightshow they'd either need to headline or play in a tent and I can't see them doing either.

Yeah they would be wasted somewhat as a sub.

[Bisque]

Could only ever see them on the main stage... would be cocking epic.

The offspring, utter shit?!

Can forget about The Chemical Brothers playing now as they have just been announced as headlining Creamfields UK

your all saying about creamfields

but if you look it says

Chemical Brothers - Dance Festival Exclusive

wouldn't that mean they could still play Leeds/Reading?

They couldn still play both but I don't think there was ever a chance of them playing R&L anyway.

I know it's unlikely but couldn't they still do R+L Friday and Sunday nights as they're at Creamfields Saturday night only?

What don't you understand about the word 'exclusive'? - they are exclusive to that weekend at Creamfields as they have said it will be their final UK Outdoor show of the summer

[Reading Local]

I wasn't having a go - I was saying its fairly obvious that they aren't playing R/L as if they did then Creamfields wouldn't be their last UK Outdoor show of the summer & a festival is a festival so if they are exclusive to Creamfields then you won't see them at R/L that weekend....Anyway to be honest now I think (& much to my annoyance) Reading/leeds seem to have made a conscious decision to shy away from booking big proper dance bands/acts - not talking about bands like Prodigy/Pendulum/LCD Soundsystem as they have become big crossover genre bands - am talking more about stuff like Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, Orbital, Daft Punk, Underworld etc...the last times I can remember truely big/renowed proper dance bands/acts playing the R/L weekend were Underworld in 1996, The Orb in 1997 and Chemical Brothers in 1999...I guess you could say Justice in 2008 and Deadmau5 in 2009 have been 'exceptions' but even Justice probably have crossover appeal as well

They are a dance festival exclusive, R+L is not a dance festival.

Last outdoor show of the summer, that's a very specific claim which could point to them playing a tent at another festival

[rexclark]

Like I keep sayong. the only way they'd do it if they were headlining or in the tent. Their lightshow is amazing.
