2012 Lineup

[gazza_20]

Yeah I reckon so. As long as new album release goes decently. I see this years tour working really well to conclude the Only Revolutions part of the band's history and really hyping everyone up for the new album. I'm sure I remember T's booker already suggesting that he wants them to headline soon and if they headline there I'm sure they will headline Reading as well.

[gazza_20]

Plenty of bands have done Reading, Leeds and Rock En Seine.. A recent headliner that comes to mind are Arcade Fire (think Blink did all three that year also). Although I still can't see Reading getting Green Day AND Foos.

[SOAD]

To be fair it'll be a totally natural thing to happen. Since the 2010 festival tour I've been certain they would headline Reading and T in the same year. Wasn't sure what year but I guessed it would be on the next album cycle. It'll be interesting to see if they do a big arena tour before hand. I'm guessing they will.

interesting. this guy has posted a lot of very true to happen stuff. If so, that's R&L out the window.

I think since it started in 2003, rock en seine that is. R&L have shared 11 headliners or subheadliners and as said we had all 3 in 2010. a headliner and 2 subs.

[lharris92]

Thought you were going to quote R&L references there. It will be funny if it turns out to be them as didn't they post a long time ago on twitter R&L or something similar. If he's booked them, I'd say, no proof but I'd guess he's had them for a good time.

[gazza_20]

Am i right in thinking LCD Soundsytem also did ReS in 2010, same weekend they headlined the NME tent?

[gazza_20]

that was dealt with at the time, i believe that meant "rage n Love" (can't remember rightly but was something along those lines).

anyway even if they don't play r&l then will still see them on tour.

and crap i talked about green day when i said i wouldn't

dizzie rascal is no where near big enough to headline, especially with benn saying he's booked the 'ultimate headliners' do you really think he would be classed as ultimate headliner?

[lharris92]

ah was it, fairplay. it's a bit unavoidable when a little teaser comes up that they may play france the same weekend lol. let's hope a little light by early morning is sprung on this.

[lan1995]

No, we're not saying he can headline this year but with another top selling huge album, he will no doubt be big enough.

there will always be bigger bands that suit the festival better than he does that would be happy to take a headline spot

[lan1995]

yes but when he keeps getting bigger with every album he released and every few years the reading and leeds crowd look forward and are happy to see him back and see him a a good booking, where do you expect to see him go? he's not going to keep getting offered sub. he was 3rd last time and is arguably much bigger now than in 2010.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Dizzee is definitely an act who should be making his way to the top of the bill soon.

[gazza_20]

i can see where you're coming from, but i just cannot see him headlining, he could possibly be sub next year, if he ever did get a headline spot it would be a highly controversial decision and a huge risk...

saying all this , it is only my opinion, i don't know how benn's mind works (seeing some of the previous line-ups it works in strange ways, even though he always seems to pull it off)

btw, i cannot wait for the announcement for this year!!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

It wouldn't be controversial at all. Maybe a few years ago, but not any more. It would also hardly be a risk. He plays and sells out the biggest venues in the country, and has already subbed at festivals bigger than R&L. He could easily sub this year, but judging by his festival schedule this year so far, I'd say it's geared towards him making a push for the big slots next year.
