2012 Lineup

[gazza_20]

Right so The Killers are now a R on TITP and R&L, yes I know only rumor but it kind of makes sense. FR have a deal with The Killers to play Orlando Calling, The Killers for a longtime now should really have been the 1st guess after Foo Fighters, and IMO getting Pixies, The Raconteurs and Less Than Jake who were also on the same billing is possible.

From where LTJ were, lockup headliner looked about right.

My latest thought of

The Killers, Mumford & Sons, The Raconteurs also looks possible.

I also Thought Pixies would play below Foo's somewhere.

My instinct thought it that if we have The Killers this time then Blur are nailed on for that spot next time with Biffy and one of the heavies.

Can still see Bloc Party and Vampire Weekend but the headliner I don't know. For the young crowd, Foo's is mixed and The Killers are a stick on young crowd band.

FATM are also a R on there now for V and to be honest I can see it happening

Muse and Coldplay is a bit of a turnup though.

[gazza_20]

Why should The Killers have been the 2nd guess?

And what are you on about with Coldplay and Muse?

[mrtourette]

To be honest, more often than not R&L and V share a TITO act. So Roses for V and Killers for R&L fits well. I'm happy for it to be them.

[gazza_20]

What the hell is TITO?

[jump]

2nd guess due to Foo FIghters being the 1st bud.

Where I put about FATM being a R on the V page, I mean't them 2 in the below. I was surprised they were both rumor.

Would you agree chances are that Blur won't play as well as The Killers?

[mrtourette]

Also I'm guessing you don't mean that V and R&L share a TITO act but that of the TITO headlners one plays V and one plays R&L? Or that at least one R&L headliner and one V headliner plays TITO every year?

Also is Gazza 20 going to have a guess at the line up every single day between now and the announcement next Feb/March in the hope that one of the guesses is right?!

[chickenfire]

He will still probably guess the line up after it has been leaked on the day of the announcement. And still probably get it wrong.

[gazza_20]

No, what's the reason behind The Killers being likely not why are they after Foos.

I'm not seeing any connection between Killers playing 2012 therefore Blur must be playing in 2013.

I'm not thou am I? I'm discussing efestivals rumors. Don't like it, don't comment, simple as.

[gazza_20]

It was just an observation not a criticism, as its an open internet forum, you have every right to make your prediction every day just I have every right to pass comment as long as I am not being abusive towards you.

[she bangs the drums]

Not abusive but you are making piss taking and sarcastic comment. Please don't say it and then pass it off as something else. I post a lot and get involved but don't deny it,

[chickenfire]

I might still make comment :/

[gazza_20]

I'm sorry I have hurt your feelings, please carry on posting your predictions and I will observe without comment.

Gotta disagree, they're still massive with my age group (16/17) and thats defo R/L's target audience. Completely different to HRC as R/L already has that 'rite of passage' status that attracts the age group in the first place.

[gazza_20]

Hot Fuss was released when I was 16 & they were popular then but none of my friends kept up with the hype. Must have been in the minority.

Agree with HRC, although I've never been, I imagine the average attendee is around age 25-35 with the bands usually booked. Imagine if Rod Stewart was booked for R+L

I still don't think they'd shift that many tickets, especially if say the other headliners were Blur, Muse, Coldplay etc. If they toured would they do academies, arenas or stadiums?

[lharris92]

of bands that have new albums next year these are the ones i hope are at R&L (i know one may be very unlikely)

Billy Talent - can see them doing their own shows at the end of the year & doing a few fests so yeah

Green Day - apparently they have a new album out next year but efests says they are unlikely to play again so doubt this will happen.

InMe - probably more likely for soni and maybe download but if the album is a good success then i can have hope

thing is i'm not drawn to download yet because out of the headliners i only really would see Metallica, and if the undercard was good enough then i would.

as for soni & reading, depends on the lineups - if soni is average then i can always work there... and then just hope R&L put up a overall good lineup.

Rolling Stones anyone?

[jump]

Arena's i'd imagine bud, defo not Academies, they are defo popular enough still to sell out 15k venues. The Killers and Foo's would shift them but you;d need a strong 3rd still. Someone maybe that hasn't played in a fair while. Blur are obviously popular but have toured recentish, same with Muse which obvs won't happen or Coldplay.

Just wondering if New Order could do it or they'd have to sub?

[lharris92]

oh and could probably bet on Frank Turner being there, has played the last several years and said he would play again if asked

[gazza_20]

Does a handfull of shows 3 years ago count as a recent tour?

[Bisque]

Dizzee Rascal is due a new album in 2012 (along with the new signings to his record label) !!!
