The lockup bands (save for the first 3 on each day) are in no particular order. I'm thinking maybe Noel plays 4th sunday but with an extended set (like Madness this year). Take Specials out and replace them with someone and switch Saturday and Sunday around on all stages.

lol, you do realise by Rudskii I mean't you? Just put a s accidentally dude

So from 2009 you have Bloc Party, The Prodigy, Maximo Park, The Kaiser Chiefs, Placebo, Vampire Weekend, Lost Prophets, You Me At Six, and Eagles Of Death Metal from 2010 you've got Biffy Clyro, Lost Prophets (again) Gogol Bordello, The Futureheads, You Me At Six (again) The Gaslight Anthem, Mumford and Sons and Kids In Glass Houses.

I'm not saying it's not possible and FR do have a history of repeat bookings but as I've said earlier, far too many 2009 acts if you ask me, I would hope they would go for some originality and not just a rehash of the previous three line ups.

You missed out The Joy Formidable

[Dukeeyyy]

This is probably my most realistic guess, not wishful thinking. Chase and Status i think would be good in that spot, they probably won't play on the main, but it worked at Bestival last year

[GRichards23]

Not a solo album dude, just a solo EP.

[harderfaster]

I'd welcome R.E.M but would enough people know them. Are just a couple like that really going to get older people and a different crowd going when the majority of the bands are the same?

Are people even making predictions anymore? Every one I look at looks just like the last one, I swear they are just being copied and pasted now.

[VCK]

R.E.M. could easily sell day tickets, they may not be as relevant now as they were 15-20 years ago but they're still a pretty big name and have a large following. Plus I'm sure they'd draw the casual fans in who want to hear Man On The Moon, Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts. They're at least as big as The Strokes, Pulp, My Chemical Romance, Arcade Fire, Blink 182 and Smashing Pumpkins.

Also, what's with all the predictions for Kasabian to close Reading?

[VCK]

I guess it's because they closed the IOW Festival this year, when many thought the Foo Fighters would. They proved to do a great job closing as i gather from my IOW buddies.

Who knows.

[VCK]

I've not really noticed a pattern like that?

Other than perhaps heavy Sunday, but obviously that's died a death.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Heavy Sunday was there in 2010.

[VCK]

I guess me and you have different definitions of heavy.

[Hart Attack]

Update:

[Dan R]

Heavy Sunday was there in 2010.

[Bobs]

I'd love a classic headliner.

Kiss for me would be great, whilst not everyones cup of tea, they put on a hell of a show, and certainly everyone will know 'I wanna rock and roll all night', and a few other hits amongst others, I felt this year at Pulp people only knew Common People and Disco 2000 in the Majority, So i don't think knowing the songs would be a massive issue.

For me i'd be looking at

KISS - Foos - Kasabian

With Subbing slots from Biffy, Bloc Party and Slipknot

NME Stage:

Friday: Manics

Saturday: The Courteeners

Sunday: Jane's Addiction.
