2012 Lineup

[dannyv18]

Tenacious d to sub the foos would just be epic!

They are such a good live band, saw them in the m.e.n back in 06 (I think) and they were out of this world!

[Hucksy]

I see your point, and i understand the appeal of the Muse show, but I remember some of my friends who had seen Muse at Wembley stadium last year seeming very uninterested in them as a festival headliner, despite the speciality of the origin set.

And again, with Foo Fighters, I want them to play because I missed out on tickets to the MK shows, but i feel the festivals would be better suited to shift their tickets with a headliner like Blur. Green Day would be a fantastic headliner and tickets would fly out, but people say they wouldnt play a festival?

[Andre91]

I'm dying to see The D! Really hope it happens, good bit of Beelzeboss Green Day would be absolutely amazing, I saw them in Sheffield in '09 and they were phenomenal. Tickets would shoot out too I reckon. Green Day, Foos and Bloc Party would be perfect for me. If you swap any of them for Jay & Kanye, it'd be just as perfect.

Still debating if Bloc Party really would headline

What about the dropkick murpheys? Think well see anything of them this year?

[mrtourette]

Paramore would headline if their new album is good

[mrtourette]

[dannyv18]

paramore arent big enough to headline yet, and in 2010 it was just full of chavs asking hayley to get her titts out and not giving a shit about the music, i cant see them headlining this year.

[GRichards23]

Could The Killers be more better headlining V?

Green Day/Linkin Park, Jay-Z and Foo Fighters would be a good mix on the main stage headliners as long as someone very good subbed Jay-Z, maybe Enter Shikari?

Also, think Paramore may well sub The Prodigy at Download if anything, they subbed in 2010 at R&L why would they do so again?

Green Day/Linkin Park

Avenged Sevenfold

Bullet For My Valentine

Jay-Z and Kayne West

Bloc Party

Dizzee Rascal

Foo Fighters

Tenacious D

Placebo

My first go

Friday:

Last Shadow Puppets

Jay Z

Dizzee Rascal

The Cribs

The Black Keys

NME:

Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds

Sunday:

Gaslight Anthem

NME:

Two Door Cinema Club

I don't see a problem with Dizzee supporting Jay Z, he's supposed to be coming back with a heavier sound and if he has the full band like 2 years ago it'd be amazing.

Think Alex Turner might use Last shadow Puppets as his way of getting back to Reading without losing to much face.

Also think Noel headlining NME up against Jay Z would be a top gimmick!

Other bands I think might return somewhere are Glasvegas, MGMT, Maximo Park, Get Cape (or Sam Duckworth).

And newer bands I'd like to see: Dry The River, Cloud Control, Morning Benders, The White Album, 2:54, Howler, Fixers.

Dont see Greenday Headlining! Killers and Foo Fighters could well be playing but I really have a strong feeling that Melvin will Hgive Biffy Clyro a chance at headlining a Major Festival.

Like MCR did last year they subbed at other festivals but headlined Reading and Leeds.

Headliners

Foo Fighters

QOTSA

Killers

Bloc Party

Biffy Clyro

TDCC

[Andre91]

If two of the headliners are Foos and Jay Z/Kanye, the third on a scale of easy/uninspiring to difficult/mindblowing could be Kasabian - The Killers - Blur - Led Zep. I reckon it'll swing between Kasabian and The Killers.
