2012 Lineup

[gazza_20]

Yeah I can see why Placebo wouldn't play but I guess that one was a hopeful guess. True about TDCC but Magnetic man played last year and didn't appear at Reading. TDCC would be below Brand New and The Cribs easily but probs not on the NME stage.

[alex28]

Yea Nme is what I mean't. DIdn't magnetic man sub it though? It's the headliner of it I mean generally are nailed on

[gazza_20]

yeah i think they subbed to crystal castles. TDCC are probs a dead cert then, I personally hate them but can see them subbing on the NME, possible headlining it, or somewhere on main but as they did that last year it will be NME

[gazza_20]

I actually feel based on rumors elsewhere that Foo and The Killers are going to play this.

You have a rock band, the indie band. just need something different and a bit alternative.

If dizzee plays i think he subs the killers, can't see him subbing foo's and as has been said whenever rap has headlined if jay z played, rap has not subbed.

[Yellow_Fellow]

2005 - 50 Cent

yes it has.

[mb23]

Jay Z

Dizzee

The Killers

Florence

Foos

Bloc Party

A bit different from everyone else's guesses I know but could be feasible I guess. I would have put BP under Killers but that would be an exact replicate of '08 which would not look good for the festival. Since Florence has already been announced for Beni she could pinch a high spot at R + L too, alternatively you could put Dizzee under Killers, have her 3rd and then have a dance act under Jay Z. Can see Green Day playing as well though...

Just had a dream that it was announcement day, and we got Biffy Clyro/Slipknot co-headlining Friday and Foo Fighters on Sunday. Saturday was some indie band, don't remember who. That would work for me IRL though.

[alex28]

just noticed some random rumors for Download. Blink 182 been added and Tool, surely these are headline acts? what's the logic behind them? Plus Rammstein rumored for soni again which is more likely and muse...

Reading Friday/Leeds Sunday

KIllers

Bloc Party

Reading Saturday/Leeds Friday

Kanye West

Noel Gallagher

Reading Sunday/Leeds Saturday

Foo Fighters

Biffy Clyro

Strikes me as a pretty solid line-up, shift a few tickets, no?

With a decent headliners on at least one of the tents on the Foos day, that line-up would suit me right down to the ground.

A heads up by the way to people. Only a R, but Blur are on the London Live Rumor page now. I reckon should this prevail and happen then my thought of them being even stronger a possibility for the year will get stronger. Livenation events which means pretty much FR events.

[The Mean Bean]

Can't see them top two on friday, I could see The Killers with The Raconteurs 3rd with someone different 2nd but that looks way too soon to just be 2008 again. Noel will be at V Fest, Biffy won't play I don't think.

[iPaulo xD]

Blink182 wont headline second stage at download..

[gazza_20]

Ah yeah, I hadn't clocked that 2008 similarity, too bad really, would have been pretty good. Does Noel have to be exclusive to V? It's not like he'll headline either fest.

Tool are rumoured to sub Black Sabbath...

Blink 182 cant play the friday or saturday, perhaps headline the second stage on sunday? Unbelieveable but could happen.

Think Rammstein is the only big miss for me at Download for next year but The Prodigy will be amazing.

[gazza_20]

Because Reading loves to book headlining bands that play elsewhere...

[Bisque]

What with Glastonbury off, why is a bit of a struggle to be getting the headliners (I remember a few this time last year that turned out to be them, & the year before except GnR- I think)? Is it too early or do we already really know?

Thats what I was going for, did you see how fast V sold out this year? Under an hour and Reading and Leeds sold out when? oh, it didn't, like Neil says Melvin will try and book acts targeted at a younger crowd, it that happens that it has a more V feel to it then so be it. At least its not that poppy, it could get worse, and it probably will, Download and Sonishere are the place to go for people wanting those acts, it showed in last years ticket sales.

Its like Reading doesn't know what it wants to be anymore.
