2013 Lineup

[Vacant0]

A mixture of what I think and what I want. I chose Green Day because if they do headline (they probably won't) then it will be off a new album.

The Prodigy Bloc Party Green Day

Queens Of The Stone Age Mumford & Sons Weezer

Lostprophets Fun Lovin' Criminals Placebo

Bring Me The Horizon Maximo Park The Enemy

Serj Tankian Gogol Bordello Mastodon

A Day To Remember The Futureheads Bowling For Soup

Funeral For A Friend The Temper Trap Cage The Elephant

Kids In Glass Houses One Night Only Four Year Strong

While She Sleeps Warpaint Tribes

[2rare2die]

Still don't think they look brilliant at all. Isle Of White looked dull. This looked alright. I'd still really like to see them.

Soundgarden are, and always have been a better band. Would prefer them.

[Whittick]

I want Cheap Trick or Skid Row, no matter how unlikely they are. Although I know that Reading won't get decent acts like these for a while. Realistically, I think Sigur Rós will sub, probably on the Sunday. They're in a similar position to the Black Keys.

Sigur Ros similar to the Black Keys? Their popularity was years ago when Hoppipolla was everywhere

Have to agree with the previous comment. Too many bands that were bigger a couple of years ago (and Fun Lovin Criminals who haven't been that big for at least 10 years). I'm not convinced that The Prodigy would headline a day that's completely a 'heavy' day either.

[alex28]

I think we can all agree by now that Bloc Party headlining is simply not going to happen? Futureheads would probably only open main now, not be fourth on. Bit high for One Night Only too. Doubt Mastodon would play again, much more likely for Download or Soni, also too high. Can't see Fun Lovin' Criminals playing third. The Friday is feasible, but maybe a bit similar to 2010? Unlikely Lostprophets would move up a place since then too.

Just my $0.02

Black Keys were fairly popular then you know.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

The Cure's undercard is heavier than everyone expected. Plus recent years the heavy day has been the Friday regardless of who has headlined. Kings Of leon '09 for example.

[mrtourette]

The Black Keys have their songs all over mainstream radio, adverts and sports highlights packages. They have the profile right now to sub-headline a mainstream indie rock festival that they didn't have four years ago. Sigur Ros might have had that four years ago but even that's questionable, they certainly don't now.

After hearing about them from friends who went to Download and seeing videos of their Hackney Weekend performance, I think Chase & Status would be a brilliant booking to sub next year

[Vieuphoria]

Ok. Hang the fuck on here. Sub? Are Chase & Status really that big? What have I missed here?

[sjseabass]

Everything you say is true, however I haven't heard anything to say Bloc Party would headline? Then again I haven't been on here in a while. Admitedley FLC won't play, but that is a dream of mine lol

[Andre91]

Why would they only be able to sub The Prodigy? They subbed at Download to a crowd that generally were not their usual audience, so why couldn't they sub at Reading where the crowd is more likely to be suited to them and vice versa?

[Vieuphoria]

Chase & Status are NME headliners. Nothing more.

[the wonderwhy]

I still think The Prodigy are subs. Prodigy into Daft Punk would be awesome.

[Vieuphoria]

The Prodigy are far bigger than Daft Punk

[kaosmark2]

Daft Punk are far better than The Prodigy.
