Imagine IF they weren't the same person and they bumped into each other... that's exactly the kind of situation where the world would just collapse on itself.

[Andre91]

It's going to be like the Hangover! Except it will be a one man Wolfpack.

[dart]

The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Metallica

I'm getting a little bit sick of people suggesting such high metal acts.

Look I hate to be the one to say this, but reading aren't going to chase heavy metal acts much anymore, because their market has changed. The reason why they book people like "Eminem, MCR, Kasabian and 30 seconds to mars" Is because that's where the money is at.

Reading is trying to change, shockingly or not I think the only (metallish) act we'd get is metallica because of the "5 year thing" people go on about.

Basically what i'm saying is stop suggesting "Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Slayer & Anthrax". Because I really don't think reading will book them unless they decide that metal does have a place.

I'm not hating on metal, I bloody love it. I just think that metals days at reading are coming to an end, It's all about eminem, mumford and sons and the vaccines.

I would agree with you but, there is always a but. They cant play download every year can they? Apart from bloodstock there is nowhere else they can play in the uk.

[Matt42]

I just personally believe (contrary to popular belief).

Melvin wants to book more mainstream acts.

[Gingo]

Of course he does, mainstream = money

[thetime]

Melvin wants to book more mainstream acts.

Thats always been the case, it has been since ive been going since 1997 anyway.

[Bisque]

Melvin wants to book more mainstream acts.

Agreed. It won't be pop but it will be mainstream.

[Role Model]

The festival is simply moving with the times, it's logical and makes sense. It's bad news for some, but many will love the new direction.

[Matt42]

I'm just sick of so many people going.

Metallica - Black Sabbath - Slipknot

being predicted as the three headliners.

Please this will never ever happen :') It's annoyed me how many people have suggested lineups like this!

[Lillyfacee]

I vote Richard the third to headline Saturday night. I hear he's making a comeback...

Has anyone been predicting them tho?

[dancelittleliar]

He's making an exaggeration but the point still stands. With Biffy being a heavy (or heavier) act, and SOAD, BMTH, FOB and Deftones all (probably) taking top 4 main stage slots there can't be that much more big name heavy stuff to come, and certainly not another headliner.

Last year the heaviest acts in the top 9 main stage slots were Foo Fighters and Paramore, then three 4th slots (YMAS, Shikari and BFMV)

Biffy, SOAD, BMTH, Fall Out Boy and Deftones fills this quota quite nicely

EDIT: I didn't realise I was talking about 2014 line up the first bit's still relevant so I won't delete it

Is that a Supergrass tribute act?

It's simply incredible how badly timed this post was.

Good points made though.

[truthpigeon]

Black Keys---- Queens Of The Stone Age------- David Bowie

[Tobieski]

To be fair The Black Keys won't headline unless their next record is similar to or surpasses the popularity of El Camino, I'd love them to though.

As for QOTSA, their next album will have to be massive in order for them to gain a headlining slot, personally I think they've reached the pinnacle of their popularity.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I like the way Bowie wasn't even acknowledged which is probably the best course of action.

Not big enough, hes not headlined a fest in years.

Could sub paramore though.

[kaosmark2]

QOTSA's new album has Lanegan back and Grohl on drums.

I expect exciting things.
