Guns n Roses expected to play Wembley Stadium late August/early September,  does this rule them in or out for Leeds and Reading? 

Stadium tour, not festivals.

not confirmed for next year but they're currently recording the album so would be weird if it came out any later than next year

Their fee will, I very much doubt Reading have them.

Paramore couldn't have headlined in 2012 - sub was definitely right for them. people were questioning their status as a co-headliner in 2014. it would've been a big push if they'd have done it outright in 2012, especially considering they were (at Leeds, at least) dreadful that year

Which was silly as they were clearly big enough to headline outright.

I don't think that Paramore were big enough in 2012 at all. They had released one EP since Brand New Eyes, which was the album they were touring in 2010 when they subbed. 2014 and the release of the self titled album was when they were ready, because that album got them loads more mainstream attention than they had already. 

*edit* I misread that. I apologise!

You Me At Six are clearly trying to branch out into the mainstream with the new direction they're going in. Who knows whether it will actually work or not though. 

I'd be surprised. If their lead single is consistent with the upcoming album, jumping on an already done-to-death post-El Camino blues rock wave seems much more desperate than calculated and I'd think that a lot of the folk they're trying to appeal to will know YMAS as one of Britain's foremost pop punk bands and give them a wide berth because of it. Could be wrong but as said, I'd be surprised if it took off for them and I should think if you compare the listener/sales stats on the lead tracks off BMTH's last two and YMAS' upcoming one and last one I guess there's a case for the difference between a successful shift and a less-than one.

How come all your posts are getting downvoted? You been making enemies?

Paramore in 2014 has been the most enjoyable headliner I've ever seen, they were excellent and it was a really fun set

Right now I'm going Paramore, Kasabian and Green Day

Maybe Bastille, Jake Bugg and some dance act that people like on the NME

I say we get Queens Of The Stone Age back next year instead of Paramore

I hope you do because then I wouldn't have to consider a day ticket.

nope. As much as I retain an interest in the fest the less it books I like the better.....as £60 for a day is a lot more tempting.

Went into QOTSA set at Reading with an open mind. Left after 20 minutes to watch Giggs instead.

Really? I thought they were easily the best headliner that weekend. Only act that I thought were better than them was The Wonder Years and that is probably due to the fact that I fangirl all over TWY

Just thought it was pretty boring personally. Giggs on the other hand was banging.

And that is exactly why I don't lol, they have probably 3 songs I'll listen to but that's it.

QOTSA were boring as fuck at leeds.

[JSmurphy]

Queens are by far the best headliner I've seen at Reading, something like:
Queens > Foals > Paramore > Metallica > Biffy '16 > Green Day > Disclosure > Fall Out Boy > Eminem > blink-182 >>>> The Libertines

I'd love them to play a few more off Rated R if they're back tho. 

[Andre91]

QOTSA were really good at Leeds, I thought. They still remain the loudest band I've ever heard.
