2013 Lineup

[gazza_20]

Probably because they wouldn't offer him a headline slot because he's not The White Stripes.

Bloc into Sabbath?

I wouldnt' rule Libs out as Queens, Paramore and Bloc subbed with shorter gaps and if Libs are trying to whore themselves out I'd imagine FR would be one of the names on the list from past connections. Plans change and it may not even be the same source.

[gazza_20]

He's played 3 gigs in London (combined total of venues less than 13k) and then done Radio 1 and Itunes which people can't buy tixs for.

I expect that the 2nd Alley Palley date to sell out eventually but it's still a very fair comment to say he's not got the draw of The White Stripes.

Not sure The Prodigy will be given it until their new stuff has it's rating,

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Bloc into Sabbath was just a I got nothing else left lol. Obvs not The Killers if they play. Not sure The Prodigy will be given it until their new stuff has it's rating, Blur for reasons I've said is no for me.

could they do a sabbath/jack white, the killers/biffy clyro, mumford/bloc party?

the prodigy, green day and metallica the next year?

this would also be all 3 the following UK exclusive, or i'd imagine.

i've put biffy in due to that if metallica due play 2014, then you'd have potentially two headers that headed and subbed download this year.

The Libs is more a Neil thing, his opinion was is was less likely they would turn out at R&L this time.

The Prodigy are making live show announcements on Tuesday.

However, I don't think his overexposure has helped, as I pointed out. I think it's a fair comment to say he hasn't got the draw, but i'd also point out he hasn't been tested yet in the same venues WS were playing when they last played here. Had he not played in London at all, and was doing a night or two at the o2, i'd expect a sell out.

[Yellow_Fellow]

the next year?

[Mouseboy11]

i reckon and hope its a uk tour.

probably a show in london though

can't see them headlining any uk fests. rockness maybe :/

[gazza_20]

jesus christ stop stop stop make it stop please

[eldest200]

What About RATM with Soundgarden, they may have a new album out by then it would be cool if they headlined and Sabbath could be a headliner, Tenacious D could sub Sabbath and for the last headliner I would love Blur with Mumford and Sons but I'm sure if they will want to headline or not

[lharris92]

rage have been rumoured to be making a new album for ages...

tenacious d, comedy tent for them!

sabbath seems an interesting move if it turns out to be true but to be honest they can't just chuck them headlining with indie bands below. saying that they probably would

[Chrisw16]

Black Sabbath are a pretty good booking for the Festival, much like the cure but slightly more well known IMO.

Still think Blur are the most likely for closing Reading, biggest band which is playing festivals next year and is R/L demographic, if they're not playing then please, please, please Arcade Fire closing. Really like the thought of Jack White headlining, possibly a co headliner with Mumford And Sons?

Friday: Main

Black Sabbath

Biffy Clyro

NME

Foals

Saturday: Main

Jack White

Mumford And Sons

NME

Deftones

Sunday: Main

Blur

Libertines

NME

Chase And Status

What rating? They are already a draw on their own and will probably be hitting the fests to promote the new album.

[DL50]

Poster does look quite likely, seems like more and more people accepting Mumfords as headliners now

I'll do an updated poster when i have time

Also i'm gonna make a claim that if Alt-J win the mercury prize they may well be as big if not bigger than Noah and the Whale this time next year

I'm not buying the Black Sabbath booking, it wouldn't look right on the poster to me.
