2012 Lineup

[eFestivals]

Can I just say, that's the worst clue ever.

people always say that if they don't get the clue.

It was a decent clue. It just wasn't a very obvious clue.

[Dukeeyyy]

I reckon the other headliner(s) will be SOAD/Slipknot, Greenday or Linkin Park - some rocky band

[Andre91]

We get the Casa part, and could Bian come from "End up in China" means you would BE IN China. So CASA BE IN-CASABEIN-KASABIAN

[FortMorris]

So...

Friday

Kasabian

Bloc Party

Kaiser Chiefs

NME : Enter Shikari

Saturday

Green Day

Florence And The Machine

LostProphets

NME: The Maccabees

Sunday

Foos

QOTSA

Tenacious D

NME: Two Door Cinema Club

Thoughts?

[Justiceforcedave]

Because it happened last year and now people think it's all the rage.

[pablopablo]

Shoulda got the cassa bit when you said something about language skills.

I don't think Foo's/Kasabian/Killers sounds that bad but something like Foo's/Kasabian/Blur would be incredible.

It just says very "Standard". I guess Foo Fighters would take the rock/heavy day.

[pablopablo]

Probably means nothing at all but this has just been added to the R/L wikipedia page...

• 2012: The Killers, Kasabian, Foo Fighters

[TYLER_4]

i guess the killers are the most likely now.

[calsmith182]

kasabian + foo fighters.. well its surpassed last years efforts with 2 headliners.. my moneys on a heavier 3rd headliner.. soad maybe. that would make my life.

[mb23]

Can't see Killers being the third headliner to be honest. Think it will be someone heavier, either Green Day or SOAD is my guess, though I'd be happy to see Killers!

[lucastang]

Well if Foo Fighters take the 2 hours (LIKELY), Kasabian for the hour and half, I can't see a 'classic' band doing a one and half hour set, e.g. Green Day, Blur etc. So much for The Cure headlining :L

[VCK]

Yeah, Kasabian/The Killers/Foo Fighters is about as textbook UK Festival headliner booking 101 as you can get, without having KOL, Muse and Snow Patrol in the running.

But I hope we get a strong undercard full of curveballs. That's what I liked about the 2010 line-up, so much strength yet so many unexpected bookings and was a bit leftfield compared to your average Reading and Leeds line-up.

[iPaulo xD]

Kasabian

Bloc Party

Kaiser Chiefs

Foo Fighters

Tenacious D

Lostprophets

The Killers

Pixies

Mumford and sons

[mrtourette]

If Bloc Party aren't headlining (of course they could be third headliner) then I think as with Biffy it would be a poor move for them to sub, as it pretty much rules out their chances of headlining next year. Both are on the verge of headliner status and with new albums out towards the back end of the year I'd have thought that getting those out there and potentially headlining next year would be more attractive than subbing this year. if they sub this year they won't headline in 2013 and they'll lose the momentum of the new album to push them up, they'd more than likely have to wait for another album to come out and be successful before being pushed up to a headliner slot.

I don't think Foo's/Kasabian/Killers sounds that bad but something like Foo's/Kasabian/Blur would be incredible.

I've absolutely no idea on the third headliner at this moment, but I'm under the impression that it won't be Blur.

I believe they'll be doing a Hyde Park show, which pretty much rules them out of the running for R/L.

[RedGlover]

If you went round houses so quickly you ended up in China...you're going to quickly...and the whole experience would've probably been Blurry...

I know we've guessed that clue...but can I apply it to the last headliner, and it'll happen? Cool. Thanks.

[firecracker]

Noel G will no doubt be under kasabian sub or third..

[FortMorris]

Well, I have never watched all 3 mainstage headliners. this year could be a first!

[iPaulo xD]

Noel G will no doubt be under kasabian sub or third..

[calsmith182]

just putting it out there.. kasabian, foo fighters + queens of the stone age.
