Lineup 2016

[#FreeComTruise]

I think Paramore as a 'worst case scenario' is a bit unfair. They earned their co-headline slot, and arguably (along with QOTSA) deserved an outright headline slot. I think it would be good for both bands to return in a few years and headline alone.

In fact Queens in 2017 would be good, they'll probably have new material, but maybe a bit soon for a return.

Matt42 you have the wrinkliest forehead ever I would recommend a nice face mask. Someone actually invited me for a girly face mask night today - you can join!

I would actually love a girly face mask night drinking pinot and bitching about guys. I kinda fancy her though so don't want her to think I'm super effeminate (even if I am).

Paramore won't break up, they're all good mates and they've changed their sound to the music they like nowadays, they're gonna go for a while yet

You Me At Six will do one more album and break up, that's my prediction

[conroy17]

If we're doing predicitons.

£20 on Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker quitting Blink-182 and being replaced by Dan Adriano and Derek Grant, essentially becoming Alkaline Trio. But it's Alkaline Trio doing Blink-182 covers. A year later all the original Blink-182 members regroup to form an Alkaline Trio tribute band.

[Gucci Piggy]

Is Derek Grant DGrant261?

[conroy17]

I sure do hope so, I sure do hope so.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Quiet Will you'll have the Navy out on you again

[metalicbear]

Early guess -

The Black Keys - The Prodigy - Muse

Blur or The Strokes could be an option too, surprised they haven't booked High Flying Birds yet either.

Think the black keys will stick to where they are now (Sub level)

[dentalplan]

They're headlining IOW.

[Andre91]

2017 :

Royal Blood

You Me At Six

Tyler, The Creator

Die Antwoord

Arcade Fire

Bombay Bicycle Club

Peace

Don Broco

System Of A Down

Deftones

The Gaslight Anthem

CHVRCHES

[DGrant261]

They're headlining IOW.

Rephrase that as 'Sub level for R&L/Glasto/TITP'.

As a co booking with The Prodigy they look like a decent headline booking for IoW but on their own they'd probably look weak. Unless the next album drastically outsells Turn Blue I don't think R&L will be wanting them back as headliners

I know we're predicting stuff that hasn't happened yet, so everyone's guess is as good as each others, but I'm genuinely surprised people are talking about Peace as potential headliners, I can't see them getting anywhere near that, they'd have had to have made some more progress by now even to be a slow burner. Of the bands to have broken through in the past 3/4 years only really The 1975/Royal Blood/Bastille look to me like they'll ever be headline size.

Blimey, lots to look forward to there

[DGrant261]

Blimey, lots to look forward to there

Yeah not a great picture is it But that was of the bands to 'have broken through in the past 3/4 years'. If I were to make that the last 10 years and add BMTH, Foals, F&TM and Frank Turner to the list it begins to look a bit better

Yeah I agree, I don't see Peace ever getting there, same for Bastille. I'd add Alt-J and Disclosure to your list though.

Well, there's nothing to really suggest there's a difference if they're not subbing at one of those this year. I could see R+L going for it in the future but I think their tour will end this year so probably not next.

I also agree about Peace but I haven't seen anyone suggest they'll headline either so I can't say I'm surprised at the level of predictions.

2016:

Florence and The Machine

Kings Of Leon

Foo Fighters

2017:

Foals

Arcade Fire

Kasabian (Or some band who might reform between now and then: MCR, Oasis etc)

As for next band to break up I reckon The Killers maybe

[DGrant261]

2016:

Florence and The Machine

Kings Of Leon

Foo Fighters

2017:

Foals

Arcade Fire

Kasabian

Slipknot for KOL

Royal Blood or Biffy for Arcade Fire

And yeah I think that's right

Don't think Arcade Fire would get a positive reception at R&L anymore so will probably stick to IoW/BST & maybe Latitude. As for KOL I think they'll be off the festivals circuit all together when they next come to the UK, a Hyde Park gig and a few arena dates I reckon.

[conroy17]

Catfish & The Bottlemen have the potential to be future headliners; but I reckon they'll crash and burn in all honesty.

[Tobieski]

Hopefully

[DGrant261]

Catfish & The Bottlemen have the potential to be future headliners; but I reckon they'll crash and burn in all honesty.

It is hard to tell at this stage whether they'll end up being a Twang or an Arctic Monkeys (In terms of size NOT quality). In all honesty I can see their fan base sticking around for the long term

[conroy17]

I think Catfish will do what The Vaccines, Courteeners, The Wombats etc etc etc have done and gain a huge following of the success of their first album; and that fanbase will remain loyal but they won't really grow much bigger in the future.

[dentalplan]

I reckon Catfish and the Bottlemen and The 1975 will be Sportbeat headliners before the decade is out.
