moz4pm Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Daft Punk - Seen them once and they are hands down the best act I've ever seen Rush - Saw them play Moving Pictures in full at MEN last summer and its the only thing thats come close to Daft Punk The third would be Metallica, but there here every summer anyway so Weezer, but not playing a greatest hits set like they've done last two years, I'd want album tracks from blue, pinkerton, maladroit and other rarely played songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieuphoria Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 we had some album tracks from Blue last time didn't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Rammstein Daft Punk (pre-shit) Red Hot Chili Peppers That would do me, and an undercard of Rob Zombie, Elbow, Pixies, Specials, Manic Street Preachers, Madness, Space, Streetlight Manifesto, Transplants, Weezer, NIN, Prodigy, Metric, Mad Capcule Market, Frank Turner, Gogol Bordello and Beatsteaks would be nice too.

Vacant0 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) If we're simply naming bands that no longer exist then... Abba The Beatles Led Zeppelin Probably not suited to Reading though... Otherwise, Daft Punk Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (NME Tent) Nine Inch Nails (reformed for the main stage or NME) Edited April 10, 2012 by Vacant0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoz Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zep, Pearl Jam, Rammstein, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Muse, Oasis, Arcade Fire, The Smiths, Radiohead, The Verve Any combination of those would be incredible for me!

Vacant0 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 The bands named so far are all possible though, unlike The Beatles, Nirvana and The Experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Err... just a quick look through some of the suggestions so far... Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin The Smiths Guns N' Roses (original lineup) RHCP (when they were good) The Kinks and these that are also no longer big enough to headline anyway: Smashing Pumpkins (original line up) Sonic Youth My Bloody Valentine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Chris Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Smashing Pumpkins, pearl Jam, Led Zep, Nirvana, Beatles, oasis, NIN, Tool, Rammstein, white stripes, green day, iron maiden, ratm, Pixies, radiohead, Cure, Any combination of them would be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ride - Personally I believe these guys never got the recongition they deserved. Can't see this happening for obvious reasons, If a reformation ever did happen I could imagine them headlining NME but being top of the bill main stage is just complete dreaming! They did sub-headline in 92 and I advise that you should check out the live album they released of that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT436 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Daft Punk, Arcade Fire and Radiohead headlining with Pixies, The National and The Flaming Lips subbing and Weezer, Death Cab For Cutie and Modest Mouse 3rd down. I can't imagine it selling particularly well, but it'd be the best weekend ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 RHCP are doing gigs this summer. Led Zep played only a few years back. The Smiths are very likely to reform. Guns and Roses are still performing. How are these acts 'NON EXISTANT'?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rug568 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think you've missed a few things.... Led Zep played a one off gig where tickets went out by lottery. RHCP aren't good any more, and that was specified. He said original GnR, and they haven't played together in ages. The Smiths said they'd only reform if the government fell apart. They're all busy doing their own thing, there's demand, but since when did that make a band 'very like to reform'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 He was talking about 'before RHCP were shit,' implying they are shit now, implying he won't want to see them. Led Zep are very unlikely to play again, let alone Reading. The Smiths hate each other, so i would hardly say they are very likely to reform. He was talking about the ORIGINAL GnR line up, before it became the Axl Rose vanity project. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecretingredientiscrime Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Smiths very likely to reform? There's as much chance as Abu Hamza being employed to drum for them as there is of Joyce doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mean Bean Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, The Smiths aint reforming, there's just no way it's happening. If they did it would be shit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 But in a perfect situation these bands could play, which is the point of the thread. The Beatles, Nirvana and The Experience can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoptildrop Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Faith No more - bloody guttered Soni was cancelled Others would be Daft Punk, White Lies, Blur, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Skunk Anansie, Prodigy, Portishead, Fleetwood mac, Joy Formidable or Depeche Mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Exactly this was my point, I presumed these dreams were reasonable and possible rather than people who REALLY don't exist anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
