rug568 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Definatly at least one of the Titp headliners will headline R/L as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just spoke about this in V forum but it could be Mumford & Sons. Neil said they aren't co-headlining with The Killers. As much as people hate them, their debut sold absolutely fuck loads, and Im sure if a festival had to choose who to book as headliner between Mumford or Bloc Party, it would be Mumford. They're just more current, and a lot of people won't have seen them live yet, making them a big draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow_Fellow Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 First off I hear Bloc Party headlining, now I'm hearing Mumford & Sons?! What has gotten into you people?! I personally think it's Green Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRichards23 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Big statement on Mumford and Sons headlining, although i cannot see it and i think we would probably see them headline something like the Isle of Wight Festival before any other of the big wig fests, its an interesting option. Green Day are the obvious first choice for me, Linkin Park are not far behind though. Both would be amazing to see so i wouldnt be fussed on either. Slipknot and Rammstein are the most unlikely as i couldnt see them billing a metal headliner, although it would go toward the ultimate headliners tag, which is IMO (Metal, Rock, Indie) for R&L anyway. Who knows though, will be very interesting come March 12th, hoping not to find out before then, makes this so much more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-Mo'Fucka Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 suggestion of mumford and sons headlining is about the same as saying kasabian would headline titp a week ago. Its not an ideal booking but the promoters would book them if they can't get anyone better, which IMO is the case with kasabian and titp.

The Mean Bean Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Weather you like them or not Kasabian have been a legitimate "headline" act for a couple of years now and are worthy of topping the bill at any festival imo where as Mumford are only one album in, they need to a bit more work until they can headline R/L or Titp.

Dukeeyyy Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It would be a safe booking but what about a co headlining of Twin Atlantic and Lower Than Atlantis? Joking aside, Lostprophets would never headline R&L, and Mumford not this year maybe in a couple of years if they bring out another big album, i can still see it being Linkin Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mean Bean Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It would be great if it was some brilliant band that none of us expected to see, and we don;t have any idea about it until we see it on the lineup poster. But on the other hand, I'm impatient and I want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcademicPistol Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Agreed and Kasabian might not be quite the quality of T in the park headliners in the past (i personally rate them) but they are one of the highlights on this years weak bill and we need to get behind rock damn it otherwise Katy Perry and other such people will headline festivals and I don't want to be alive in a time where that happens.

Jelfridge Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Kasabian are far from a weak booking. If you have seen them live they sold out the O2 for 3 nights and played to 60,000 people. Iv Seen Kings Of Leon and The Rolling Stones their and Kasabian filled the void of the O2 more than the other two. If you dont like them fair enough. But they are not a weak booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah personal opinions don't mean shit. They're only a weak booking because they've headlining T recently, apart from that they're a legit headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dip Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 They're a good live band, but they're very samey. Been doing the same show since the empire tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Im just going to go back to Mumford and Sons here. Yes they're headlining Rockness. Erm who headlined last year? Kasabian. Im not even a Mumford fan but lets face some facts here. Brit Awards album of the year 2011. 9th highest selling album in the UK in 2011. 3rd highest selling album via download in the US in 2011 Sold over a million copies of their debut Mumford could headline. Im just saying people are mentioning Bloc Party, but at the moment Mumford are the MUCH bigger act. They're bigger than Razorlight were when they headlined, they're bigger than Franz Ferdinand were when they headlined. Im not saying its gunna happen, im just saying they could be in the running. I can't believe Black Keys are on everyones predictions as sub, but the notion Mumford headlining is so crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
