3rd Headliner?

If FATM headline then that is very weak, plus it completely abolishes a lot of people's theory about having only one new headliner every year. I'd prefer Bloc Party to do (and I don't even like Bloc Party). If this was the case then the undercard below FATM would have to be very strong.

Maybe sommat like this:

Kasabian

Placebo

No Doubt

Florence + The Machine

Dizzee Rascal

Kaiser Chiefs

Foo Fighters

The Black Keys

Tenacious D

I'm putting my money on Bloc Party just as they seem the most likely atm. I don't think The Cure would headline R&L. I want Green Day but I don't think it will be them. I would love it if we didn't know until the annoucement but if that's the case and it's Bloc Party I will cry.

Whilst they are big they are aren't huge, there's also a rumour that they headlining Coachella as Sabbath were meant to headline but pulled out due out to Tony's illness before announcement and if you look at their albums most of them haven't sold nearly aswell as FATM or Bloc Party, even their new and best selling album has sold less than theirs and if you look at the venues they played it wasn't a huge arena tour.

The Sabbath rumour is probably true but they're still playing ahead of huge acts including Pulp, Arctic Monkeys and Swedish House Mafia.

Their albums haven't been sold much due to little hype that surrounded them. 'Brothers' and 'El Camino' have got them fairly into the public eye, and their back catalogue will become more popular as people get more familiar with them (ala Kings of Leon and their early albums after Because Of The Times and Only By The Night.) FATM and Bloc Party are much more chart friendly, obviously than Blues Rock.

They sold out 2 nights at Manchester Apollo which is more than one night at the MEN Arena would have been so ..

I can't see them settling for 3rd/4th down the Main Stage after their sudden burst in popularity. And it seems as if they are playing so who knows.

But I'd say they will go down a storm if they headlined .. They put on an awesome show!
