2013 Lineup

[OneTwo]

I think NIN should/would get the headline slot if they ever came back, simply for the amazing performance they gave in 2007, they blew every other band out of the water.

[Vieuphoria]

Should definitely be headliners.

But not sure Reading would book them as such. I hope i'm wrong though.

I reckon by the time Trent's prepared to tour again the festival fad will have died and Reading would be prepared to book them as a headliner.

Would it be the first time an Oscar winner has headlined the festival?

Nah Eminem, Elton John, Bob Dylan & Phil Collins have all won oscars.

When did Eminem win won? Crikey, this surprises me.

Maybe it should be won oscar before headlining Reading.

oh? Who be these?

But Eminem hadnt won his oscar at the time he headlined, so maybe Trent would be the first if they ever headlined.

Edit. Same goes for Genesis aswell Phil Collins hadnt won an oscar at the time they headlined either

I like how far ahead we're getting. Considering NIN haven't even mentioned plans to return as a touring band again and won't for a while, they'd probably spend a year or two stateside first, and there's plenty of other bands that will headline in the interim.....

Its nothing new, yesterday it was the smiths!

expect prediction posters to consist of nin, smiths, origianal gnr.

Everyone always talks about The Smiths. It's as if they weren't a shit band for most of their career who released one cracking album alongside a load of boring moaning dirge.

Now now smiths are legends!!!

But like stone roses and pulp have no desire to see them on a reunion tour.

[kaosmark2]

WHOA. I'll ignore most of that post, other than questioning which record is the cracking one?

Yeah, it's almost as bad as the Courtney Love covering Nirvana predictions.

[jump]

Was that a predictiont though?

[thetime]

Is anyone seriously predicting classic Guns, Smiths & NIN though?

[kaosmark2]

Not yet!

But you know what this forums like the more people talk about it the more they think it will happen.

Blur for example, people thinking it was going to sell out straight away etc etc. Cant see why people think nin would headline though, they were nowhere near headlining when they split, but saying that pulp were not either. The smiths will never reform, But everyone said that a year or so ago.

[thetime]

They subbed R/L and put on the performance of the weekend. The following year they sold out an arena tour and subbed only Metallica at Soni. On top of that, reunions tend to ramp up excitement and popularity as it's been a lot longer since people had a chance to see them.

And I don't reckon NIN will reform for a few years yet, and the music scene will have changed during that time, and I expect a lot of that will include the decline of popularity of guitar music and festivals.

And the Smiths, thankfully, will never reform.
