Enter Shikari have done reading and leeds for like the last 5 years of something like that, Time for a break?

[thetime]

Hopefully a permanent one!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Yeah I agree with that, same as Frank Turner and The Joy Formidable.

[micawber]

Agreed, melvin has to broaden the fest out a bit and get some acts he wouldn't usually. If they stick to the 'demographic' bands its going to be the same old bands all over again.

Put crystal castles in that list as well

I don't buy that, people said that about last year but Beady Eye, The Strokes, Pulp, The National, Muse, Elbow, Interpol, Jane's Addiction, The Streets and The Offspring were all in prime slots and weren't exactly going to alienate older festival-goers. There will also be bands aimed at youngsters but there will also always be older bands, there's a good mix but people tend to jump on one and say that there's too much of it. Anyway festivals are a young person's game so of course they're going to try and attract them, I'm in my mid-thirties but I'd hate to go to a festival aimed at people my age (the thought of somewhere like Hop Farm makes me shudder).

[LeifErikson]

I want it to be Daft Punk, Blur and Foo Fighters. I think it'll be Blur, Bloc Party and Foos which is still very good for me.

[dawsonator]

i want the killers, foo fighters and green day and that is what i think will happen aswell

[Hucksy]

[dannyv18]

foos, daft punk and SOAD would be an epic line up

probably be something like foos, blur and killers though :/ not tooo bad i suppose

[dawsonator]

i would much rather for bloc party to sub headline than headline

[dannyv18]

would love tenacious d to sub foos, prodigy/pendulum to sub daft punk and slipknot to sub soad, would be a strong lineup also ill go wake up now

[pablopablo]

Foo's, Blur and The Killers would surely be pretty strong. Stronger than last year anyway. Not the most inspired bookings though.

Is there anything to realistically suggest the Jay Z/Kanye stuff thats been floating round here for the past few months?

[grinaa]

any chances for Queens of the stone age this year?
