Predictions for Monday announcement

[thewayiam]

In other news, Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy are UK festival exclusives apparently.

Gazza why do you come here looking for admiration from the internet when we all know the internet is only for condecension and mockery, no need to point out you were right, we would be here till the end of time listing everything you got wrong

[dip]

Where else will System be then?

[SOAD]

Also he got his postings restricted and re-appeared as someone else and has turned into a laughing stock.

Thats a side issue and its not about him tonight, for me its all about a great announcement and so glad I bought a ticket last week.

Dude, the subject is done. I admit putting it in capitals was wrong, so apologies to yourself and all for that but it's done now.

[thewayiam]

That's probably the most decent reply I've seen you make. It's nice to see lol.

[Mouseboy11]

Gazza is, whatever you say he is. If he wasn't then why would he say he is. On the forum, the threads every day he is. I don't know it's just the way he is.

I believe this was the 'We still cater for the old R&L crowd' announcement we hoped for

Really? If it is, i can't see it attracting them back, unless they build on it.

I think so, biffy, SOAD and BMTH. Even though fall out boy are shite they're not exactly the softish/indie/rappiest band around

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I'm a bit surprised about that. It's the basis of a good line up, but when you consider how R&L have had great acts in the past, but fucked up the positioning, and my understanding has been that BMTH were always viewed as the embarrassment of the metal/heavier world, I'm not convinced it would do that well.

I know a lot more ex reading goers who have been put off by BMTH, and the reaction to them has been general amusement (I'm not sure if I should admit I've seen BMTH several times).

I'll buy after system have been announced. Biffy headline is a bonus.

[the wonderwhy]

System HRC at Olympic Park maybe?

[mrtourette]

Pretty strong announcement, although ultimately that will depend where these bands end up playing. I can see FOB and Foals 3rd/4th, BMTH 4th/5th and Jake Bugg subbing the tent. Any higher for any of them and it'll be a weak placing.

[Gucci Piggy]

So, it's...

???

System Of A Down

Eminem

???

Biffy Clyro

??? (Please not FOB, that'd be embarrassing)

By my reckoning, that sure as hell rules out Mumford as a headliner...

System of a Down are headlining Latitude... Serj is also doing a spoken word political rant in the Literary arena

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Like others have said prodigy seems to fit.

[Mouseboy11]

Rage Against The Machine as the last headliner as they play every 5 years.
