Lineup 2014

[Com Truise]

Plus we're led to believe the new album won't be out before Glasto, so anyone who gets them next year will have them on the hype of the actual album, rather than the prospect of it

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm a 'youth' & they're my favourite band.

I'm also rather youthful & they're certainly in my top 10 favourites.

[PDAD]

I think the new album is to be out by the end of 2013.

Yeah I think it will be out in the Summer, it was meant to be out for Glasto wasn't it, but was held up by Matt's hand

The hype of the prospect is much more powerful.

[PDAD]

The cure are not popular in the UK anymore, the youth just don't like them... (i'm a youth too so I understand this!)

What a stupidly general comment.

They headlined the festival last year so there is no argument as to whether they are big enough or not.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

The hype of the prospect is much more powerful.

Tell that to the crowd at R&L 2009...

Anyway, it depends how it goes I think R U Mine got a lot of people interested in them again, so we'll see.

Depends, hopefully this album is as good as I'm expecting it to be, but maybe R U Mine got my hopes up and it's going to be a let down.. hm

Great. If 'R U Mine' is anything to go by, it's not gonna be bad.

I didn't say hype makes a good live experience, I said it got a lot of interest.

[the wonderwhy]

I'm hoping they announce the album before Glasto.

It must be finished now, they went back out after the NME awards to put the finishing touches to it...

[thetime]

Its a huge gig for arctic monkeys as glasto with the big crowd, most of the gig will be on mainstream tv, worldwide audience, snippets of the new album.

Will be interesting if they nail it in the same way radiohead, coldplay and muse did to go to the next level.

[Com Truise]

They are taking the piss now a bit with the album, it will be interesting to watch them on TV though that's for sure

[Dead throne]

0/10 will not watch

Make it fun, play a game called "count the fangirls in the first five rows"

Make an efests flag

[Gucci Piggy]

Calm down im only playing with you.

You've just established he's a teenager. Come on man.

[Gucci Piggy]

They're as big as The Vaccines, who people have down to sub

Not saying Vampire Weekend won't sub, but they're definitely not "too big for 3rd", and neither are The Vaccines.

[The Placid Casual]

That's true, I'd even argue that they're a similar size to Bloc Party nowadays

You'll probably have The Vaccines/Vampire Weekend playing above Bloc Party next year (Which to me, would be a fantastic 2 and a half hours)

[lightning1000]

I dunno - I'm struggling to think of an act with such a... passionate and large UK fanbase.

One direction?

I'm 22 and I like them. I also know plenty of people my age and younger that do like them.

They got the smallest crowd of the three headliners at Reading but that is hardly surprising. It wasn't a tiny crowd in any case.

Your comment is quite ironic considering the two UK festivals they have headlined recently have got fairly young demographics. The majority of Bestival-goers are in their early to mid 20s.

Thats actully a very good point.

[Dead throne]

Black sabbath have just announced a UK tour....
