Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

I think we're all pretty certain that photo has absolutely nothing to do with R&L.... but we still don'tf know what it is, and it IS very odd, very odd indeed.

I see the sarcasm was lost.

Nine Inch Nails have been more or less confirmed for Roch n Heim festival in Germany the week before Reading.

Trent today said they will be playing shows this summer. After a four year Hiatus.

They are also rumoured for Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.

NIN are definetly headliner material. And along with Nirvana one of the most iconic influential American bands of the 90s . They drew an absolutely enormous crowd in 2007, bigger than The Smashing Pumpkins who were above them, and were without a doubt the best band of the weekend. Proper seriously legendary band.

This is Reading not Download though. They won't headline Reading

[hundhun17]

NIN would never never ever in a million years headline Download as they are not a metal band.

NIN have sold 20 Million records? Biffy Clyro sold how many? They can sell out stadiums. If The Cure can do it why not NIN. Cure have not had a hit in the UK for about 20 years.

I don't know what is and isn't sarcasm anymore

[Com Truise]

Also, the Cure were a bad decision. The crowd was terrible, and with a new booker, I don't think he's going to make the same mistake as the last.

I do agree NIN are worthy headliners, and they would get a huge crowd, but I just don't see them being booked as headliners for Reading.

I'm just going to point out N.I.N won't headline because Melvin actually wants to retire with a pension.

What a crazy elf he is.

Honestly not sure if you're being serious, but here goes..

If System aren't headlining I doubt NIN will, sadly. Looking very likely for subbing Biffy though I think...

[Yellow_Fellow]

I'm telling you all, NME headliners.

[Hart Attack]

Wasn't there a rumour a few weeks ago that Green Day would be the final headliner with NIN either subbing or headlining NME?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Who are?

[Gucci Piggy]

If NIN were against Biffy I'd cry. Against Eminem though, and it'd be perfect. Won't happen though surely.

[thetime]

NIN.

[mrtourette]

NIN headlining is another in a long line of preposterous 'predictions'. Have people who think this is possible ever been to R&L before?

Would go down very well with a small crowd, fits in with recent headliners like fnm and atdi.

Ive only seen them once and was very disapointed, so would love another chance to see them.

[mrtourette]

Who has predicted nin as headliners?

[mrtourette]

Yeah it seems that way with the older type bands recently when they've been put in the NME they haven't attracted a decent crowd, sometimes I think it would be better to have those types sub headline, at least the crowd would've bigger, also having newer stuff in the NME often attracts a larger crowd.

Maniacs was small

Atdi was tiny

FNM was small.
