VCK Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Which combination of headliners and 2nd headliners do you think have looked best? I reckon: RATM/QOTSA - 2008 Pumpkins/NIN - 2007 Franz Ferdinand/Kaiser Chiefs - 2006 Linkin Park/Blink 182 - 2003 Foos/Muse - 2002 Oasis/Primal Scream - 2000 Not a massive fan of some of those bands mentioned, but they're all combos of bands with similar fanbases. Whereas the likes of Pixies/Killers, Green Day/50 Cent, The Darkness/The Offspring and Travis/Green Day just look like chalk and cheese.

rockgeek Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 2008 was awesome and possibly best for me 2006 was good (Arctoc Monkeys & Muse) 2002 also Sunday, 2000, main stage, Reading... pure class Friday, 1996, main stage, Reading... pure class and probably 2nd if not 1st. Top 7 just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasowen Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Definatley Arctic Monkeys/ Muse, although Muse were disapointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leprekorn Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Look back a little further when I first went and I think these are hard to beat Neil Young & Soundgarrden 95 Smashing Pumpkins & Green day 95 The Prodigy Rage Aginst the Machine 96 Metallica & Marillyn Manson 97 Beastie Boys & The Prodigy 98 The Charlatans & The Chem,ical Brothers 99 RHCP & The Offspring 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Even further back...Iggy & Sonic Youth 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymp Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, actually that's another one I forgot. And possibly Metallica/SOAD in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) In a way, not Main Stage, but Manics/BFMV on the NME stage. Both Welsh bands who have very strong Metal influences and sing songs about depressing subjects. Edited September 25, 2008 by VCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallimuse Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 manson was great, maiden opting to play off the first four albums at a festival that's not their traditional demographic went down like a lead balloon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Well I only went on the Foos day that year but apparently there was no Can I Play With Madness = Fail. Edited October 4, 2008 by VCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral_Low Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Smashing Pumpking/Nine Inch Nails last year was very good, as was Iron Maiden/Marilyn Manson back in 2005 and Metallica/System Of A Down in 2003. Pearl Jam/Placebo in 2006 would have been very good as well if Placebo hadn't of had those technical issues, but billing wise yes! This year Metallica/Tenacious D worked well, and RATM/QOTSA would have if QOTSA hadn't have turned a bit rubbish since Nick Oliveri left.

VCK Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 QOTSA were terrible, second biggest dissapointment in the four years I've been going to Leeds fest behind RHCP's poor excuse for a set last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sorry to bump this topic, but I've read some old prediction posts for 2008 on several forums. Some people predicted this as the top four on one day: Rage Against The Machine Manic Street Preachers Queens Of The Stone Age Weezer What dreams are made of.
