2012 Lineup

[ArcticGorilla]

They're not a V act. Unless they release a poppy enough album to get them in.

More to the point, the crowd at V wouldnt consider them a headline act.

Just like we wouldnt consider Plan B a headliner. But they did play v in 08 under foos

Neither does the crowd at R&L, if they were booked to headline there would be a load of bitching they aren't big enough.

Kele isn't Bloc Party. Kele makes commercial house music, something very different to Bloc Party. Dance music can generally fit at most festivals.

[Hawky]

I see my kele comment was ignored

[jump]

i disagree.

[ArcticGorilla]

You are seriously telling me people wouldn't say Bloc Party aren't big enough to headline if they were announced? The arguement in this thread proves otherwise.

[mrtourette]

Three people on an online forum prove a point wrong?

[jump]

My point was that R/L crowd would appreciate Bloc Party's music, like V would appreciate Rihanna's music.

But heres some quotes that prove your point wrong anyway.

Anyone know if Neil has said anything about Bloc Party?

I have now.

They're shit.

[ArcticGorilla]

I have now.

They're headlining.

[dclarke12]

They're shit.

[huntyyy]

The Killers and bloc party to co-headline V? Do not want Bloc party to headline reading...

[luckysalt]

No chance of that happening! Not quite mainstream enough

[jonnyisRFC]

Anything ruling out Smashing Pumpkins? Not a massive fan but i think they would be definitley worth watching, headlined in 2007 but weather they would headline now i don't know.

[Role Model]

How come Pearl Jam still haven't announced a show in the South? They're doing one in Manchester. Or does IOW count as their show down here, which is ridiculous.

Not that I can see them headlining Reading, obviously.

[rug568]

Well your clearly an ignorant fanboy who doesn't actually know anything, more people would make a fuss about bloc party than either of those 2! bloc party have done nothing of importance since they last subbed and the reformation factor is certainly not enough to push them to headline - loads of bands take 2 years off without breaking up, does that mean they can be pushed up slots on festivals?!

[The Mean Bean]

Yes, Bloc Party could easily headline, we know MB likes them, and they ARE a hit with the R&L crowd. People on this forum shit themselves over Mumford And Sons because they're shit (and they really are incredibly shit), but they're a massive draw for the R&L crowd, this message board is not really an indicator of the R&L demographic.

Lastly, I demand that The Cure headline! If they don't then I'll just turn up at the Main Stage, pissed as a fart and just sing Cure songs until somebody kicks my head in.
