2013 Lineup

[MAD HARRY 27]

My predictions at this point would be something like:

Download- Kiss, Tool, Iron Maiden

R&L- Bloc Party, Killers, RHCP

Glasto- Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Fleetwood Mac (possibly Beach Boys instead)

V Fest- Coldplay, Beyonce

TITP- Biffy Clyro, Prodigy, Jay-Z & Kanye-West

IOW- Arctic Monkeys, Eagles, Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Bestival- Arcade Fire, Portishead, Morrissey

[BTK1609]

I still disagree with your R&L prediction Mr Shankley but the others look spot on to me!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I don't actually think Bloc Party will headline unless they have another massive album to push them up... I just couldn't think who else to put at this point, as I don't think it will be Biffy next year either, hmmm.

[BTK1609]

Even though they have already been everywhere else I can definitely see Metallica being back next year. Bands often play R&L last and they are a core R&L band that will sell tickets. I just think that the headliners you have for R&L look particularly weak compared to the others you have listed (this is of course taking into account the demographics each festival targets). Saying that it could just be that the R&L headliners aren't to my personal taste as much as some of the other festivals you have listed.

[Whittick]

My Predictions:-

IOW- Arcade Fire, Green Day, Radiohead

R/L- Biffy, Pearl Jam, Stone Roses

Glasto- Stone Roses, Fleetwood Mac, Kasabian

Download- Maiden, Bon Jovi, Rammstein

V- Kasabian, Lady Gaga

T in the Park- Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Suede

Hop Farm- Peter Frampton, Verve, Billy Joel

[AcademicPistol]

Hasnt bowie retired from live performing? Adele wouldnt do it even if there was the slightest chance of being asked.

[thetime]

Why wouldn't Adele do it? A lot of people say there a are done with stuff but then change their mind.

[Mouseboy11]

Hope RHCP don't return and I wasn't at the Reading performance. I just don't like them haha.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Reading - Biffy/Bloc (co), Slipknot, Linkin Park

[Vieuphoria]

I live in hope that they don't. terrible band.

[willutalk]

Download-Rammstein ¬ Foo Fighters ¬ Slipknot (if Sonisphere doesn't run Iron Maiden to replace Foo Fighters or Slipknot)

R&L -The Prodigy ¬ Bloc Party ¬ Green Day

Glasto - Radiohead ¬ Rolling Stones ¬ Lady Gaga

Sonis - Iron Maiden ¬ Linkin Park (if it runs or not (one or two or three day event))

I don't know enough about the other festivals to predict headliners!!! I need to get a better knowledge in others! More or less some mainstream bands though!

There should be a 2013 general festival chat thread for mainly headliner chat.

[kaosmark2]

I can guarantee that I have no interest in who headlines V next year.

[AcademicPistol]

Shes said she would never do festivals, she shits herself infront of a couple of thousand people nevermin 100,000 people, has she ever actully done a full tour?

Wont happen.

[thetime]

I will bow down to your Adele knowledge I literally don't care to know about her so that fact she doesn't do festivals (except small ones like iTunes) is all good for me.

[AcademicPistol]

I didn't know she didn't do festivals or i wouldn't have predicted her.

Just seems like the logical one she would do.

[AcademicPistol]

I was probably brainwashed by the media to put her in there.

[Gucci Piggy]

IOW - Arcade Fire, Muse, The Prodigy

R&L - Biffy Clyro, The Killers, Blur

Glasto - Radiohead, The Stone Roses, The Rolling Stones

Download - Avenged Sevenfold, Iron Maiden, Van Halen

V - Lady Gaga, Muse

TITP - Biffy Clyro, The Killers, Arcade Fire

If KOL are back on the scene I could see them headlining V instead of Gaga, and her playing somewhere else. Or I could see KOL headlining it TITP instead of The Killers or Arcade Fire (Probably Arcade Fire).

If RHCP are doing festivals I could see them at Isle Of Wight. Maybe TITP or Soni if it runs. Or possibly R&L, but I don't see it.

I don't think R&L and TITP will share 2 headliners like I've predicted, but those bands just seem the most likely headliners for each festival to me.

[rug568]

IOW: Green Day, Arcade Fire, Muse

R+L: Arctic Monkeys, Prodigy, Bloc Party

Glasto: Radiohead, Foo Fighters and The Stone Roses

V- Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon

TITP: Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Biffy Clyro.

[GRichards23]

If Green Day, Arcade Fire and Muse headlined the IOW festival then I would scream with joy.

[Babyquack]

IOW - Arcade Fire, Muse, The Prodigy

R&L - Biffy Clyro, The Killers, Blur
