2012 Lineup

[eFestivals]

^ Is a Talking Heads reunion actually on the cards or this I wish kinda thing?

having spoken with ex-members about it (tho about 10 years back) I think it's hugely unlikely.

[festivalfollower123]

pretty sure talking heads reunion won't happen, more wishful thinking

Hmmm

I would say Garbage are highly likely to be playing the festival. They'll be doing the festivals next year and I can't see them doing V. A fantastic addition IMO.

Hmmm

[ArcticGorilla]

Think and hope it will go something like this:

Foo Fighters

QOTSA

Biffy

Kasabian

The Black Keys

Mumford & Sons

The Killers

Bloc Party

Dizzee Rascal

If not...

and for some reason R/L wanna turn into V for a day...these will probably be here on one day....

Jay-Z/Kanye

Kanye has his own album due out in the summer, maybe just him on his own.

Also, Eminem must be in with a shout. The last two festivals he played in the UK sold out in record time, Melvin must be aware of this.

[Andre91]

Biffy won't play 3rd I don't reckon they will be at the fest this year tbh, I can see them headlining in 2013, which suits me just fine Kanye on his own would be great, I watched his Coachella show on YouTube and it was good

[iPaulo xD]

Black Keys wont be 2nd

[iPaulo xD]

Thats a dream line up for me, but never will you see it

[calsmith182]

me too.. most are fairly likely, expect paramore:/ but i agree we'll never get that.

[Andre91]

I second that, I'd be first online for a ticket if that was real.

[calsmith182]

is there any chance of paramore? i think theres a new album soonish.. maybe, was just a stab.

[Gucci Piggy]

For the few people who have mentioned Editors, they won't be there this year. Confirmed by Tom a while ago, no summer shows.

[calsmith182]

i wanted editiors, but ya'know.. you cant have everything.

[Gucci Piggy]

The Midnight Beast headlined the FR stage last year, so they won't do it again, but other than that it looks fine.

[calsmith182]

opps, forgot about that :L i thought i was lonely island that played, well im not sure who to put as that headliner.. i'll have a think.

[Andre91]

Damn, I wanted Editors too :/ Bands im hoping for: Black Veil Brides, KoRn, The Vaccines, BFMV, Four Year Strong, Franz Ferdinand, The Enemy.

Paramore would be alright too, new album soon so they're still in with a shout to sub someone huge.

Edited January 4, 2012 by Andre91

[Hucksy]

If i could choose 3 headliners i would definitely go for Linkin Park, Green Day and Foo's, but Foo's are the only one that seems to be locked in, and I reckon the actual line up will be something along the lines of The Killers, Jay-Z/Kanye West, Foo Fighters.

To be honest i'm praying Jay-Z/Kanye don't play as i'm really not a rap/hip-hop person, would much prefer Green Day. What happened to the rumours about this being the year for them anyway? I know they're a name that get's thrown around every year but that pause from Melvin in that interview a few months back did sound slightly suspicious..

[iPaulo xD]

Paramore would headline if their new album is good

[dannyv18]

Not been able to read the full topic but where's this huge jay-z/kanye rumour come from?

Also any chance of seeing tenacious d this year?

[iPaulo xD]

I have tipped tenacious D to sub Foos all along as they are touring together in Australia. I would love it so much if it happened!

[huntyyy]

Of course, but by their very nature bands that aren't saturated in the UK market are less available than those that have been. Blur would be a far more attractive proposition there than Kasabian with regards to selling tickets and having a unique act but also less likely to be available and/or willing. It's a very good point though, I guess we'll have to see what FR do, especially given that Foo Fighters are another band that were everywhere last year.

[Hucksy]

Wouldn't be surprised to see The D sub foo's, would be amazing! Also with their new album out this year
