Aye it's pretty good.

2013>2014>2011>2010>2016>2015

My personal favourite was 2010- first time I saw Weezer, Arcade Fire, Libertines, Blink, Phoenix and you had plenty of bands lower down the lineup that would go on to higher slots- Maccabees, Mumfords, Two Door, Biffy, Foals to name a few. 

Also, 2010 was just after I'd handed in my masters dissertation, so I remember it for being in a very happy mood!

I know this was just for fun, but if it is a live Pendulum show then this lineup would be physically impossible as 2 members of Pendulum are the same people who make up Knife Party, so they wouldn't be able to do Reading And Leeds (as their sets would clash one day)

any lineup with Kasabian at the top of it is automatically struggling to be anything other than shit but the NME Stage is eye-catching, Justice topping it whereas within three years tops R&L had changed their strategy to the extent they'd never consider booking a band like that at all. Also highlights how bloody long the Courteeners have been stagnating in similar positions at UK fests, and the same story for good old Two Door Cinema Club, subbing the NME in front of a huge crowd as 'the next big thing' back then only to still be playing basically the same slots five years later.

2013 was best year btw

Aware this is a bit old but just looked through the lineups and this is what I'd say:

2010 > 2013 > 2011 > 2015 > 2012 > 2016 > 2014 > 2017

Out of transparency I've been to Leeds 14, 15, 16 and volunteered 17.

Also looking back at the 2011 lineup, the Saturday main stage almost looks as if it could be a Glastonbury Pyramid Stage lineup. If you take out Jimmy Eat World, the run of Seasick Steve > Two Door Cinema Club > Madness > The National > Pulp > The Strokes wouldn't look out of place at Glastonbury, maybe just a little unvaried. Certainly not something that you'd see at R&L nowadays really.

haha looking through the Sunday lineups over the years I realised there's really not been anything for me on the main stage, after Giggs on my lineup its really just picking the best of a bad bunch

Oh I hadn’t clocked that it was day specific. Nah I just thought you might have been joking cos we were all dumbfounded that Vant were third up the main stage this year but yeah if they’re the only one you like fair enough.

That's fair enough. It's a cool idea. I did one just now, which may achieve nothing except to show my age...

(I did it based on Leeds clashfinders which I realise might confuse the process as days changed somewhere along the years, also took advantage of Leeds' coheadliners)

No one good has played that '?' slot in 7 years smh (or the slot above it).

NIN vs Kendrick Lamar was stupid hard. Lemme do it again once this year's lineup is announced and I can have Kendrick in Muse's slot.

The best two Sunday headliners they managed to book in 8 years were Muse and Muse.

[Gucci Piggy]

Blink-182, Muse, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Blink-182, The Libertines, Biffy Clyro/Fall Out Boy, Muse

The Sunday terrible and past it slot. Looks like the people predicting Foos Sunday and Kendrick Saturday were right.

Pretty much why I played it so I could have Pulp headline Sunday.

all 2017 headliners would've been perfect candidates for the terrible and past it slot
