2012 Lineup

[ArcticGorilla]

To be fair i understand where he is coming from because if he says he thinks they will be there then turns out there not then it brings down his reputation.

[mike12]

Yep true. Even if Neil was 98% sure, he probably wouldnt reveal it untill he was 100%.

[SOAD]

I would love Tenacious D to play but really don't see any chance at all with them doing Download and other fests around that time... they don't seem the sort of band to want to tour for too long. They'll probably do early summer festivals and then maybe a headline tour around november.

I hope so... they were ace last time..and even though I'm seeing them at Download I think they would be better at Reading again

Thought about this earlier when i saw someone put The Killers subbing Green Day...

But, could The Killers and Kasabian co-headline with Kaiserchiefs playing 3rd?

[lan1995]

is there ANY possibility what-so-ever that blur could play leeds festival?

[gazza_20]

Lmao, Dizzee Rascal could probably headline the festival

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Sub mate, if he could headline the festival, he wouldn't be headlining the smaller do's like Nottingham's Splendour and etc.

His new album needs to be massive and then he's in with a shout I'd say.

See with DIzzee this year playing, it does all depend if they decide not to book him again yet and get him back to headline next year but that will still be two new headline acts next year IMO and I can't see happening.

[joe1990]

im seeing a few bands on the rumour page iv not heard of before. is this because they'll simply be on the smaller stages, or is it because Mr benn an co are spending allot of money on the 3 big headliners?

[Tolnai Soma]

I really like that every day you inform something of reading.

[The Mean Bean]

he will sub, but he COULD headline the festival.

[gazza_20]

I imagine Dizzee will sub at Reading this year and then go on to headline Bestival next year as his first decent festival headline slot. We're blatantly going to have Biffy headline Reading this year. In fact I see them headlining T in the Park and Reading in 2013.

[SOAD]

You mean Biffy headline Reading and T mext year?

[gazza_20]

I'm interested how you know this, and whether you're in contact with Dizzee's booking agents to see his reasons for playing festivals such as that?
