mrtourette Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 None of the headliners this year were labelled as UK festival exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud001 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 If Foo Fighters are booked then that'll be brilliant for me. Saw them for the first time on Sunday at Milton Keynes Bowl and was absolutely blown away! Foo Fighters aren't my favourite band at all but that was the joint best gig I've ever been to. They even got out Butch Vig on stage as well as performing with Bob Mould, Seasick Steve and John Paul Jones. If they played Reading next year and played half as good as on Sunday I'd still love it!

mrtourette Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I don't think it's a case of being a Glastonbury band, Muse suit R&L and Coldplay don't regardless of whatever other festivals they do. And yeah, Chase & Status headlining the tent is probably a realistic shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriseede Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 A revision of my prediction from about a month ago ------------ Reading Fri: Main Kasabian Bloc Party Florence + The Machine Primal Scream Foals Bombay Bicycle Club The Subways R1/NME Chase & Status The Courteeners Magnetic Man ------------ Reading Sat: Main Daft Punk (wishful thinking more than anything else) The Prodigy Mumford & Sons The Cribs The Gaslight Anthem Jamie T Kids In Glass Houses R1/NME Feeder All Time Low Sleigh Bells ------------ Reading Sun: Main Foo Fighters Biffy Clyro Bullet For My Valentine Avenged Sevenfold You Me At Six Less Than Jake The Blackout R1/NME Justice The Macabees Viva Brother Realistic or not?

huntyyy Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I don't think Avenged would do anything less than sub/headline a tent. Would be utter mayhem in a tent. Also, Would You me at six not be higher up? Their new album is just going to push them higher up that lineup. I'd even go as far to say they may be big enough to headline the tent, much as i hate to admit it. Primal scream look too low to me? Isnt that the same position Gaslight anthem played last year? I can't see Feeder headlining the tent, Or all time low even existing next year given their last album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 A revision of my prediction from about a month ago ------------ Reading Fri: Main Kasabian - headline separate day Bloc Party - Can't see not headlining, nme headline, 3rd top and two 2nd tops. Florence + The Machine Primal Scream Foals Bombay Bicycle Club The Subways - 2nd nme imo but could R1/NME Chase & Status The Courteeners Magnetic Man ------------ Reading Sat: Main Daft Punk (wishful thinking more than anything else) - would be nice but kasabian here The Prodigy Mumford & Sons - could maybe play 2nd by this time The Cribs The Gaslight Anthem Jamie T Kids In Glass Houses R1/NME Feeder All Time Low Sleigh Bells ------------ Reading Sun: Main Foo Fighters Biffy Clyro - or QOTSA. If they were to headline TITP, would they play 2nd at R+L? Bullet For My Valentine Avenged Sevenfold You Me At Six Less Than Jake The Blackout R1/NME Justice The Macabees Viva Brother Realistic or not?

Spud001 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 ah i saw them on the saturday, was a decent gig but we had the biggest pr*cks ever next to us so it sorta ruined it. he brought out alice cooper which was immense. would be a solid booking, however it would be the same circumstances as muse this year, where they have played everywhere and would be uninspired in that sense (even though they would play a solid set) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lharris92 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Ah yeah I've heard that the Saturday was pretty rough in terms of the people :/ and yeah I agree that it would be uninspired and predictable but I think that FR will bring a better Foo Fighter's experience than other festivals if that makes sense? As in they got less than an hour and a half at IOW, which doesn't give them time to perform to there best. Also Biffy were superb on Sunday! Loving the new song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Pretty realistic (if a bit predictable), I'd normally say that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Vampire Weekend would be too big for the tent but I think the size of it is increasing this year so may be possible. I'd also say QOTSA are unlikely to sub three years out of six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2rare2die Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Just an idea but does anyone think that Tim Minchin could possibly play a bigger stage in the future? Sonisphere have Bill Bailey headlining their second stage this year, and i'm sure mr Minchin would find a fair amount of appeal with the R+L crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petewilson09 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 my prediction; foo fighters QOTSA tenacious d Bloc Party kanye west Mumford and sons Blur kasabian vampire weekend NME Morrissey Yeah yeah yeahs dance headliner??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Co Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Chase & Status could headline NME there. Kanye West is pretty huge, would he do anything other than headline? Same goes for Kasabian. However; I'd like to think that next year will be big and we could have headliner sized acts subbing with somebody bigger headlining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
