Lineup 2015

[lharris92]

If those are the headliners I'll buy your ticket.

just 3 bands I plucked out of thin air ages back, there's nothing to go on to indicate any of the headliners so its as plausible as any.

and seeing that I don't predict anything they can stay that way even once its proved wrong (undoubtedly at some point).

as for the ticket.... depends if I buy one as might be low on funds for next summer

Think Radiohead would go down like a lead balloon at Reading and Leeds nowadays.

[5co77ie]

eyyyy no foos (let them tour the shit out of Wembley in the tour that doesn't tour the UK)

the trio of

Muse

The Black Keys

Radiohead

is still on.

Except Melvin said he's got headliners that no one would expect for Reading/Leeds Edited October 21, 2014 by 5co77ie

That to me says...

1) getting desperate, deffinetly have to go in a new direction due to lack headliners available

2) a rap artist again thats not Eminem eg Kanye/Jay Z (no way Drake etc)

3) run out of money for anyone massive so bumped up some bands (they won't get any oldies in)

3) Daft Punk

4) ^ another electronic headliner

So a far bit.

[dentalplan]

It was rather that he said there was one that wasn't a regular, wasn't it? Like Linkin Park.

Regardless of the fact that Scott is misquoting, they sold out with ease last year. Where has this notion that they're down money come from?

[lightning1000]

Leeds isn't pulling it's weight, could mean that? Either way, I'm sure they're fine on the money front.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Never has, fucking Northerners

[rawaudioinput]

DFA1979 were incredible last night; I know it'd be a big booking but does anyone think they could headline FR?

[Yellow_Fellow]

They subbed NME in 2011 so they can headline that okay

[dentalplan]

They were third down and on a reunion ting. FR would be fine.

[Yellow_Fellow]

bite me

[Bisque]

That & they haven't really had a massive mega bucks band (I mean real top dollar, which I don't even think Foo's are...) since *checks previous line ups & shits himself*

But maybe all the megabucks headliners are prob not on their teen demographics wish list.

[Bisque]

Ok Eminem would cost a lot.

Edit: & that only last year!

But you don't know how much bands cost, son

[sjseabass]

I'd say megabucks bands, in general, don't do any festivals at all. It's not just R&L not booking them because of their supposed target demographic.

Or 5) talking out of his arse as usual.

That's his face, believe it or not.

[Asdaprice]

Linkin Park do fit both the not regulars and album in the top 10 last year quotes though. Although I don't know why Melvin would suddenly book them 1st this year.

How many times have they played? Is it just 2003?

Can't call it an unoriginal booking, but it's still a pretty shit one

[Bisque]

Yes I do(ish). Like Lorde is ridiculous when bands with bigger set ups are £50-100k less. Mega bucks is like Stones, Coldplay, Muse with a big set up, The Who etc

But I didn't take into account cost of travel from wherever they to be coming from though granted.

Are you going to show him (and all of us) a spreadsheet now?

Well it was IMO. Never said like matty & that other guy who set up two accounts, denied it, still DM'd people & I feel is looking looking over my shoulder as I write this (totes forgot his name)t as 100% in your face fact

No spreadsheet. Just one of Kasabians roadies moaning.
