6daviesdr Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bloc party play rock en siene on the Friday, GD play it Sunday. So if there is some sort of BP at leeds, GD at reading they'd most likely either both play on the Saturday at the respective fest, or GD play the cure day reading BP play the cure day Leeds. However I realise how slim the chances of this are, but if they did do it I can see them both headlining next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 didnt look to see if they were playing rock en siene aswell. sounds about right for bloc to do leeds sat and geen day do reading sat. funny if bloc do reading on sunday then aswell :L i could see them both headlining next year also.

6daviesdr Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 hope not, Green Day's new stuff isn't good. Oh love I thought was rubbish but it's okay compared to kill the dj and Bloc Party's new album as much as I don't want to admit it isn't good. Though, I didn't think intimacy was great either. It would defo spell the end of my going for me, they'd have to announce something great as the 3rd but I do see if this happens at least Green Day heading next year, but I think Bloc Party subbing them is a more realistic thing than heading themselves. Biffy Dizzee Rascal Blur Mumford & Sons Green Day Bloc Party it all fits in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Would be funny though. Exactly what id do if i was him and not playing :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Gah that would actually be fairly mediocre. Biffy were good heading soni last year and support foo fighters but it didnt exactly set my life on fire. Dizzy is fine, funny subbing chilis in knebworth, but again uneeded. GD/BP dont quite go enough. GDs new stuff sucks. But its still a viable choice. Sub wud have to be going slightly More 'punk rock'.. lol Blur, yes. Works well. But m&sons, well boring to me. That lineup, for me is like 09. And would need a heavy nme one day and a great day lining before green day. Doubt it would stop me going, just not as appealing. Been since '05 and itd take a really terrible lineup for me to stop. But something like gorillaz or god forbid daft punk stuck in there. Hate the killers are at v and we got the cure tbh. But yeah sorry rambled off thatsmore suited to the 2013 thread lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfpint Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 When the Kaiser Chiefs played the secret set in the Festival Republic Stage at Leeds during their height of popularity, they stuck metal barriers and stewards to control the crowd and did not allow anyone else in once it reached capacity. No reason why they couldn't do this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

let's 'ave it!!! Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'd rather see it, the Bloc Party secret set would probably be full of their hits whilst Green Day's would just be new shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Good to know I'm not alone. I'm not a huge Bloc Party fan, but I wouldn't give a shit if Green Day played. Regarding Richie's point, secret sets wouldn't cost a huge amount and would be largely a publicity thing for both band and fest. They're pretty rare though, and I suspect wouldn't ever happen if they're properly predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'd much rather see Bloc Party and would be delighted if they're there, but I'm seeing them in October so I won't be too disappointed if they're not. Saying that, I highly doubt they will be, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
