Potential/Future Headliners

[OneTwo]

Just wondering who people think are potential/future headliners im not including bands like Bloc Party or Biffy as they are nearly there or thereabout, im thinking more lower bands on the bill, like when Arctic Monkeys were on the carling stage back in 2005 who would of predicted them for headliners then, im predicting people like.

White Lies

Frank Turner

Enter Shikari

Cage The Elephant

These arent necessarily who i would want just the only ones i can think of right now.

One band that really impressed me last and I thought could make their way up the bill were The Joy Formidable

[ReynholmIndustries]

Miles Kane

Vaccines

Joy Formidable

Jim Jones Revue

Magnetic Man

[quilani]

Bombay Bicycle Club. Clearly going places and Melvin loves them.

[Bobs]

Frank Turner will headline.

Should Miles Kane do well in the future, well next 2-3 albums a success then yer hell be there

The Antlers. One day.

[ArcadeMonkeys]

i'm sure that Gaslight Anthem will be headlining festivals one day.

The National, The Horrors, The Vaccines, Enter Shikari. To name a few.

[Jacky Boy]

Any mediocre band that splits up and then reforms 4 years later.

[JT436]

The National could if their next album gave them as much of a boost in popularity as High Violet did, but they'd still be a bit weak... Would be a dream headliner for me though.

The Antlers would be fantastic, but even with the hype their sound is far too alternative for R&L, more likely to headline Latitude or Bestival some day...

Also +1 to Gaslight and Frank Turner.

[DL50]

Would put money o n Florence and Mumford headlining one day

Also chance of Biffy i think and possibly Dizzee Rascal, if he doesn't headline reading he will headline on of the big festivals in the next few years

And Bloc party may even be next years headliners

[Shootenanny!]

Frank Turner and The Gaslight Anthem headlining in the future would make me buy a ticket instantly. Bloc Party and The National wouldn't hurt either!

[kev1664]

I'm gonna call pulled apart by horses. I just think they have something about them to get them to the top. If not r&l then download or soni. Their latest album is quality and if they produce another 1 or 2 like it they will definately be moving up that bill to near the top. Their live shows are energetic and excellent also.

I think that there was a similar thread last year or the year before. In that I suggested.

Biffy Clyro

Dizzie Rascal

Other possibilities

The cribs (one day)

QOTSA

Florence and the machine

Yeah yeah yeahs

Pendulum

Slipknot (r&l)

[rug568]

On this years line up:

Black Keys

Paramore

TDCC

Florence

Shikari at a push

Vaccines

BBC

Foster the People

Maccabees possibly.

Btw, The tent for Arctic Monkeys was beyond rammed in 2005, I couldn't even get near it - I'm sure somebody predicted they might get huge enough to headline at the time. Also - would 'HAVE' not 'of'.

[kaosmark2]

I was just using Arctic Monkeys as an example as they were very low on the bill then, i was trying to get people to chose bands who are a lot lower on the bill and not the usual obvious choices like Bloc Party, Mumford & Sons etc

[OneTwo]

Yeah, but they were NME darlings for 2 years before their album came out.

Edited March 14, 2012 by OneTwo

[kaosmark2]

Yes i know, but i was only using them as an example because they were once on a low stage and are now headliners, thats it.

Who do you think?
