The cure, reading and Leeds? (1) no where near big enough after they headlined Bestival (2) Last year at leeds fest I was going to see Jane's addiction but they were called off so I went to see pulp and they had a very small crowd, saying know one was on the NME at the time. If the cure play with someone like enter shikari on the NME stage, the cure would have at least half the crowd pulp had, and they wouldn't make the same mistake again, they also must know about the request of heavier headliners (3)why would they play R&L when they would get a much more respectable crowd at latitude (they are rumoured for both R&L and latitude on efests) , Melvin Benn said on an interview that he is very happy with latitudes line-up this year, my money is on they play latitude and not R&L. I think Green Day could be the third headliner as MB knows they will sell out the tickets and with foo fighters and kasabian who have played alot of festivals last year and many people may have all ready seen them, Green Day are over due the appearance at R&L and many people who will go to R&L this year will have never seen them live.there maybe something about download and R&L swapping headliners (the prodigy and kasabian) which could also hint Green Day's aperance. Foo fighters kasabian and Green Day "Terrific headliners"

Posted here because it's the most active thread, what would the general safety be like around the festival. Me and my mate want to go but we're only 16. Reckon we'd be ok on our own for the weekend?

There's a lot of dirty old men there that love fresh meat so keep your backs to the walls and don't leave your tent after dark.

Cheers guys, think we'd be fine tbh. We're all sensible enough just got to convince my mum haha.

RHCP get a lot of criticism and are certainly not part of that group.

[pat carney]

fuck the cure, queens of the stone age would be a great headliner, give them a boost up from playing sub all the time

[Mouseboy11]

how old are you if you dont mind me asking? im sure youd be fine ive found most people ive camped around at reading and at leeds are really nice.

[mrtourette]

What are you worried about?

[TYLER_4]

16 mate, fairly grown up and sensible though. It does seem that way that most people are fine and there seems a good atmosphere.

[GRichards23]

Green Day would be absolutely epic.

As regards to why would they book 2 huge headliners in one year... Can they not take 1/2 bands off the undercard to give the required time GD would need?

But...

Just for a little play about, what about something like this...?

Nickelback

QOTSA

Evanescence...

Anyone think Ben Howard will play the NME somewhere, probably low down. He's a bit like Ed Sheeran without the masses of chav fans and he's a pretty good live act.

[DanLawless]

I've been going to Leeds Fest since i was 9 and i've been fine, there's loads of 16 yr olds there
