Can see A7X, Frank Turner and Pendulum as subs next year. Headliners I'm not so sure about but I can see Arcade Fire and The Prodigy but if we are going to ditch the 5 year rule after Blink it would be Muse, but is mainly because I want to see them :D

There was never a 5 year rule, and the only reason that seems plausible Blink 'broke it' is due to a serious lack of options. Muse could play next year with a new album if they are considered a better option than others by the festival, but it isn't as though Blink being booked has all of a sudden changed the booking approach.

Muse could with a new album I guess, would be pretty lazy but FR doesn't seem to care about that anymore

They never really cared about lazy, they cared about selling tickets. Recycling acts frequently doesn't help sell tickets because it puts off repeat customers, which probably isn't as important any more.

Arcade fire will not be touring next year. The black keys maybe I guess, we'll see how the next album comes along.

They won't be touring extensively but they will play a small handful dates - most probably an equivalent to Hyde Park, if not Hyde Park again... They know people will want to see them in the UK in 2015 and will be here even if it's just a brief outing. I don't think they'll want to headline R&L again, I reckon IOW stands a good chance of having them in 15' - maybe TitP.

By 2015 they will have toured the UK twice already supporting Reflektor, plua possibly an autumn tour I thought was rumoured. They will have given UK fans plenty of opportunities to see them and will probably want time off to relax or start working on new material.

They headlined R&L in 2010 after a small handful of intimate dates, returned in the autumn for a full arena tour and then returned again in 2011 for 2 big outdoor gigs - Edinburgh and London as well as another arena show in Manchester. I reckon they'll come back in 2015 for at least one, one-off show somewhere. I'd say that would be in line with there 'style'.

I just reckon that they'll want to have more time at home now win and regine have a kid. And its a long way to go for a one off show. Could happen but id be very suprised.

Fair point about Win and Regine's kid - I guess that'll impact any and all decisions to tour. I guess it all depends on how well the preposed Autumn tour sells as well. If it's instantly, I guess we can suspect there'll be a big outdoor show next year.

Those three headline will alienate the shit out of a lot of festival goers.

If The Strokes headlined next year would they get a 'too soon and they don't deserve it' reaction like Blink or would they get a pass because we mostly like or tolerate tem?

They'd get a pass because it's only a shit booking if I don't like them.

I'd still think it was a shit booking, but at least they've got a nice new albums worth of material to play

Anyway;

Metallica - Kings Of Leon - Pearl Jam
