2012 Lineup

[purplehaze81]

System of a Down subbing at a stretch? What :L System of a Down as NME headliners? Even bigger what :L

[thetime]

You make that sound like I am the only one who says how much a band will be to get.

A band that never does arena's, never plays higher than sub headline. In contrast with a headline band who would I would imagine in 9/10 cases cost more, that's why I think this.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I realise the chances of the Cure actually playing are pretty much none existent, however here's a line up I made on how I think it might pan out if they did:

[mrtourette]

Not bad position wise, although Kaisers too big for the tent and MGMT wouldn't be given a tent headline slot. Doubt Yuck and Funeral Party would play a third year in a row without a new record (which I don't think they have). Band Of Skulls, Bon Iver and Dinosaur Plie-Up would probably be a slot or two higher and Dinosaur Jr wouldn't play. And for God sake man take out The Temper Trap.

MGMT where supposed to be "co-headliners" with Justice, a bit like The Streets & 2 Many DJ's last year.

Dinosaur Jr was quality in 2007, shame no-one was there to see them.

Totally agree gazz, seems to be your an easy target on this forum what ever you say...but you dont give up, so good on you.

Its a bit obvious qotsa will be alot cheaper than the likes of foos, blur, stone roses etc etc.

I love a strong line up through the bill, rather than a top heavy line up. This has put me of ever going to iow and download in the last few years.

[TYLER_4]

Foo Fighters wiill have someone better and more simular to them as sub, bloc party wouldnt go down well before them.

[TYLER_4]

also http://www.nme.com/news/the-cure/61448 the cure are around then? so you never know mate.

[rug568]

IOW has good headliners but shite undercard, but that's my opinion, others may like it.

Exactly mate, I mean, in a way, no disrespect to anyone, but come on, it's standard stuff that QOTSA would be easily in the cheaper pricing bracket for a headliner than others like Blur etc. Foo's i don't think would cost the earth cause Grohl loves Reading but that's besides the point.

Of Course I'll keep going bud, I know what I'm saying and that most of it it more relevant than what half of those who slate me come up with. And it all extends really from one time, get over it, move on, I have.

Would Stone Sour be the kind of band that Reading would book? Because I'd love to see them there!

is there a website people use to make posters? would love to give it a go. shit at photoshop though

[gazza_20]

It's quite obvious IOW have spent all their money of Bruce and Pearl Jam.

I really didn't understand why people took the piss out of you earlier. It really is common sense that Blur/Green Day/Foo Fighters (not saying that these bands will play) will be more expensive, simply because they are much, much bigger.

Also these forums would be so dead if you didn't post.

[rug568]

Bon Iver should be a lot higher. Daft Punk won't play but we can only hope

To be fair other than a few placement issues i do really like that line up.

[Andre91]

yeah they are, but i dont think theyre together this year are they? corey is still with slipknot i think.
