I can't see Reading bothering with a metal headliner, but if they did wouldn't Maiden be the smarter booking than Metallica? They haven't been over-festivaled to the same extent. Haven't Metallica played a festival pretty much every year bar one since the last time they played Reading? Only other band I can think of who've played that many is Muse.

Without meaning to sound like I'm generalising music genres, they're three very similar bands. In terms of their sound and how long they've been around. I'd like to see Arctics or Biffy headline, but not The Killers at the moment.

My hope for next year:

Biffy Clyro

Blur

Green Day

I know that Blur are supposedly finished now and Green Day never seems to happen, but I'd love that line up. I'd love to see Iron Maiden if they decide to bring in a metal headliner again but I can't see it happening. I agree that they'd be a better booking then Metallica, given the amount of festivals that Metallica have played over the last few years.

Any chance of Linkin Park? I know they are a bit of a marmite band on here but they have a new album out this year, are definitely a headliner in terms of statute and with Soni unlikely to return R&L seems to be the only festival they could play other than Download.

Thinking about future years:

2013:

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Blur

2014:

The Prodigy

The Killers

The Stone Roses

2015:

Elbow

Arctic Monkeys

Metallica

Bloc Party and The Killers are interchangeable. And if The Libertines reform I'd slot them in for Bloc Party, on either year.

If The Stone Roses don't last till then, move Metallica to 2014 and swap The Prodigy for The Black Keys.

I've thought this through too much, I know. It's a miserable day.

Also, I hope White Lies to be headlining by around 2015 :D
