If this does turn out to be true and they book them then I wonder what Reading's line up will be. Foos have apparently been heavily rumoured as it's the 20th anniversary of Nirvana playing, I guess they won't be exclusive

Asked if he would consider booking either Foo Fighters or Red Hot Chili Peppers for 2012, he said: "They're both two that we're talking to, amongst a whole list of others. I also think we could have Green Day and Blink-182 here, but none of those are confirmed."

RHCP they're welcome to, one of the shitest live acts going. I wouldn't care if they miss out on the Foos as long as they go for an act of equal size. I think next year could be very interesting for all fests.

I expect Foos will do some of the other Sonisphere's other than the UK one. Really can't see them being at anywhere other than Reading and Leeds next year.

Another non-story from NME.

Really means nothing, I can imagine any fest would want to Foo's about playing. I reckon their a cert for R&L next year though, they'll want a massive act to shift ticket, especially after this year. Added to the fact Dave loves Reading and it's the whole 20th anniversary of the Nirvana show, I can see FR going further to secure them.

So they're talking to 4 bands for 2 headliner & a mini slots and none are metal. Not going to happen but I can see them grabbing Blink though.

[mrtourette]

Yeah if Soni and T are the same weekend again then Blink will play both.

[The Mean Bean]

I couldn't care less whether the Foos do Leeds or not, absolutely no interest in seeing them. I would like to see RHCP, but seeing that we have to settle for half Chillis - half cover band then I'd be easily swayed by a good NME headliner instead.

I'm not sure about Foos but could see RHCP doing Soni & T that weekend.
