Lineup 2014

[Matt42]

I've been thinking, the work with the release of their new album do you reckon black sabbath could of asked for a go next year? After the sucess of their tour (it'l be sucessful, & album).

I can imagine it would be a good booking, with the way reading is going, to have one heavy headliner is a real coup! + the relevancy would tie in well!

Would Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Arctic Monkeys be a good set of headliners? Or is that too heavy?

I would say its a big risk booking sabbath 18 days before a fest nevermind 18 months.

Already 92 pages lol

One thing ive noticed about peoples predictions is how strong there nme suggestions are, have people not seen this years?

Based on this year's I'm going with Bastille, Crystal Castles and The Horrors. Seems weak enough for R&L to be happy with it.

Can't believe this thread is going to prosper with an incorrect title.

I think Bastille will be at Reading actually. I think they will be like The Vaccines and Flo last year and Jake Bugg this year, everyone was sure they would go to V. I think FR will give Bastille a high slot and bag them

Yet but by 2014 will have no indie cred whatsoever (unlike flo and the vaccines) V is a way bigger market for them and typical V goers much prefer them to typical reading lot...

I dunno, I think they are actually more popular with the Reading crowd, their music is in the same vein as The 1975 (who have even less indie cred than Bastille). FR would probably give them a higher slot than V

Based on my friends, all the ones who like indie rock (i fall into that crowd) think bastille are just a shit version of 2door, all my friends who listen to more chart/mainstream music love bastille, I reckon V would give them a higher slot and reading will give an alt-j type bump up to an act completely out of the equation atm (or haim if their album sells well/gets critical acclaim)

A shit version of 2 door? Sound nothing alike to me.

Friday

Main Stage: Paramore//Queens Of The Stone Age//You Me At Six//The Horrors//TV On The Radio//Tribes

Nme: Vampire Weekend//Haim//Mystery Jets//Grimes//Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

Saturday

Main Stage: Jay-Z//The XX//Yeah Yeah Yeahs//Public Enemy//Miles Kane//The Fratellis

well just a shitter version imo

[Tobieski]

Nme: Vampire Weekend

Vampire weekend would sub at least nowadays

[the wonderwhy]

There'd be a riot if Queens subbed Paramore.

Started by me.

I know what you mean but you can't really say "version" if they're nothing alike. Although Bastille have grown on me and I actually quite like them now, whereas I hate 2Door so maybe I'm just being picky

[Spud001]

Yeah I agree, Bastille are far more enjoyable to listen to than TDCC

[Dead throne]

Tdcc are ok tbh

At least? Are you suggesting they could headline? I still think they're 3rd main size. Would have said NME headline size as well based on previous years, but not based on this year.

At least was a very poor choice of words there I apologise. I'd argue with the album this year they'll be a solid sub sized band (presuming it does well commercially etc), and if another album is released and is as successful as the others I reckon they could be pushing for a headline slot

[Com Truise]

Why are Vampire Weekend so popular, think they're awful
