2013 Lineup

[thetime]

The Prodigy could very well headline, don't see why they're not mentioned as much.

[2rare2die]

I wouldn't call the crowd for The Cure particularly good at Leeds tbh, walked in to watch the first three songs and strolled straight up to the second barrier, and then left Social D to catch the end and was able to walk round the front of the barrier and get central with ease. Seemed to be a lot of people just milling about and not really watching them.

[Mouseboy11]

Everones a warrior.

Prodigy have to be there because they play at festivals a lot even when they dont have a new album out. They were at Download this year and V have had them loads in the last decade and the last time the were at Reading was like 2003 and with their new album coming out next year (How to steal a Jet Fighter) they are an English band and so they will probably tour England around summer and so they should be at Reading. I dont like it the way some people are putting The Prodigy as subs, they are quite capable of headlining as they did in 1996!

I've got a feeling Lostprophets could headline NME. They're not big enough to headline main stage but they've got enough tracks for a monstrous headlining set now.

Prodigy played in 2009, didnt they show arctic monkeys up? Ir it might have been kol.

[Andre91]

I think two of the headliners will be Biffy and The Killers. And maybe Green Day as the third, but it would be nice to get a proper surprise headliner like The Cure were this year.

[Cieran]

Damon from Blur said if Hyde Park was shit, then that was it! I don't know whether it was shit for them or not tbh.

[OllieBaker90]

i would be extremely happy with any of the following headlining: green day, linkin park, the prodigy, the killers, blur or manics. But hopefully i will get two and probably get an interesting unexpected one like the Cure.

Melvin said he has got two headliners secured and hasnt approached the next one but is pretty sure they want to do it. This next band do you think have headlined before?

[Mouseboy11]

Any chance of a Libertines return? Think Carl confirmed they're writing new material.

i would love it if blur were there as i saw them at Hyde Park and they were brilliant but i thought their Hyde Park show was meant to be their last?

[Vieuphoria]

I went to the warmup show in Plymouth and they made a pretty big fuss about how "this is the first time we've played here in 19 years (i think it was 19)... we promise we won't leave it so long next time"

I think this is sarcasm, but you could imagine New Order subbing, however it does seem like they're spoilt for choice with possible sub headliners next year e.g. Biffy, Mumfords, Bloc Party, QOTSA, Vampire Weekend, Noel Gallagher could all do it

[mrtourette]

Might be a reasonable NME headliner but they'd get a small crowd.

[mouserat]

Not my dream scenario but what I feel is realistic...

Top 3 Main Stage Acts each day:

The Killers

Mumford & Sons

Frank Turner

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Weezer

Metallica

Prodigy

Soundgarden

NME Headliners

Jack White

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Seems to be one dance/electronic headliner these days so I'll say Skrillex if he's still popular, otherwise Manics would be great

Some acts who will be repeated from this year (as plenty always are): You Me At Six, Coheed And Cambria, Mystery Jets, The Vaccines, Pulled Apart By Horses, All Time Low, Bullet For My Valentine, The Courteeners, The Hives, Future Of The Left, Twin Atlantic, Dry The River, Django Django, Of Monsters And Men, The Subways, Bastille, Alt-J, Lucy Rose, Fidlar, Don Broco, Jake Bugg, Lower Than Atlantis, Young Guns, Family Of The Year and no doubt many, many more...

Manics aren't big enough to headline.

well they have done before way back in 2001
