2012 Lineup

[luckysalt]

I know it isn't being thought of but I just read about Eminem turning down £3.8 million basically to headline Big Day Out next year. V Festival and T must've chucked a shed load at him.

Big Day Out is a traveling festival that does 6 shows in 2 weeks, they were offering him £3.8million to do six festivals essentialy, £633,000 a festival headline appearence. The artical then says he decided to do 3 of his own shows in Australia instead which made 5million Australian dollars per show.

V probably paid him £1- 1.5million per date. so £2-3million in total I reckon

The money V make thats nothing.

around 200,000 tickets times £180 = £36,000,000. Then they make a fuck load from stalls and merch

PULP for headliner Fri-Sat-Sun. Just been watching their set. They were the best.

Just been listening to a bit of Soundgarden and to be honest, going by AC comment about R&L, they would suit subbing Foo's down to the ground. 20 years of Nirvana and one of the big grunge bands. If he knew he hadn't got them but R&L had, surely this is a move he would do to deter people wanting to see them from Soni?

I don't think Biffy will play, when they do, they headline.

I think it depends on realistically if Mumford will play 3rd or 2nd.

So a little alternate guess of:

Jay - Z

Bloc Party

Pixies

The Killers

Mumford & Sons

The Raconteurs

Enter Shikari or similar

Foo Fighters

Soundgarden

Placebo

TDCC

If Mumford can do 3rd, them below BP, and Pixies under The Killers.

The other year it was about £7,000 to have a pitch for a burger van at Leeds and that had to be paid 30 days in advance I think

[ivan]

depends on where the pitch is, for example i got told by some of the people selling food that a pitch could cost way more than that.

don't know if it was true though

[VCK]

Correct me if i'm wrong but have Biffy not only headlined Sonisphere which is a fairly new festival, they have played TITP around 9 times and never headlined, Reading and Leeds around 4 times? and never headlined and are subbing at Isle of Wight this year so I think its a bit presumptuous to say that Biffy only headline festivals

No the worst guess man but saturday main except for the killers isn't good IMO. sunday top 3 is a good shout but soundgarden seem like a new good choice for Foo's sub. I couldn't see Lostprophets 3rd either, not done anything to warrant the higher than 4th last time in my view but all opinions and all

[gazza_20]

Fairs, I thought Lostprophets were meant to be releasing something next year? I could be wrong though...

I think everyone's been round in circles several times on the topic of Bloc Party already, but Kele's going to be on when Zane Lowe takes over the Radio 1 Breakfast Show for a week in January. Now, obviously he's unlikely to come straight out and say 'Yeah, we're playing R&L below Jay-Z' or whatever, but it's being billed as him talking about the band's plans for 2012, so there could be hints...

[Gingo]

Try 7. They seem to be one of those acts that Reading and Leeds have as a "house band", like Bloc Party, Frank Turner, The Subways and The Futureheads.

[jump]

Haha I thought I might have been a bit out with that one

My point still stands, I have no doubt they could headline a festival (Sonisphere proved they could) but I think a lot of festivals will want to wait until their new album is out and how big that is before making a decision like that

you missed Placebo from that list.

[MJMilz14]

To be fair, they are subbing one of, I'm not going to the say the biggest as I can't clarify that although I don't in past results for this sort of thing they have came out the biggest.

[gazza_20]

Seriously? Do you ever read back your posts?

I think it's the English rather than the content, which is sometimes hard to decipher. That quote above about them being the biggest took several attempts to understand.
