Mumford and Sons Will Headline R/L 2013

[Whittick]

I think Bloc Party could headline the NME, there seems to be a theme with reformed bands headlining the NME tent. Janes Addiction, At The Drive In, Faith No More. I know they haven't been gone long enough to fit with those bands but a reunion none the less. Plus I think people have lost interest.

[Luke Routledge]

How is it even a slight reunion? They were just in between albums, like how most bands do it.

[the wonderwhy]

Because Kelly left the band then rejoined

[Luke Routledge]

How did he leave? They all stopped playing and went off to do their own thing for a bit...It happens...

[lharris92]

pretty sure that was a joke cause like a few days later they posted something on facebook.

Is that a hint? or just just a general dream you had about reading?

You cannot use Foos as an example against Bloc Party

The Foo's have been headling their own fests and playing plenty of other festivals around the world in the meantime !

Bloc Party have not !

I really can't see them headlining, i think it's more likely they'll sub to an act they respect or like.

And obviously it has no bearing on whether or not someone would headline or not, but i read Marcus Mumford said he doesn't want to become as big as Oasis.. Maybe he is quite contempt just playing his music to a crowd who appreciate it... just an assumption there though

point proven lol, but I stick to what I said about losing hype and being able to headline NME

[thetime]

I doubt they'll drop down to NME yet. I reckon theyre in a similar position to Kaiser Cheifs, not a huge draw in terms of people buying tickets to see them but theyve got enough big hits to draw a huge crowd.

[cheeseisamazing]

Just saying, to cover my fucking arse. They may headline Glastonbury instead...

With the reaction of the last album, as kinda predicted, Really Really Really can;t imagin them not headling

And for any belivers in 'a band can't headline glasto after 2 albums': The arctic monkeys did it in 2007.

so to sum up, if they headline glasto i'm at least right about them being headliners.

La la la te lar de dah

They've already headlined Rockness so you're already right.

[cheeseisamazing]

Is rockness as 'esteemed' (for no thought of a better word) as reading?

i thought so,

Na it is a mid sized festival but its big enough to be counted as a decent festival for them to be headlining

Yes, I believe someone did. I think it was about TITP.

[Gingo]

'hazzamid11

If the Boss were to play, i could see it on the NME stage'

did someone write that? i mean in a serious non-trolling way?

[cheeseisamazing]

that's amazing. i am speechless

[Bisque]

Yes, as Tourette said it was about TITP, I was both shocked and in hysterics which is why it is still in my sig to remind me of such nonsense and give me a chuckle from time to time
