The cure, flaming Lips or even Kooks or Kasabian - a commercial act who haven't played here in a while.

I would go for sigur ros, but think alot of the average r/l customer would be a little confused.

Some great shouts made, I'd love The Flaming Lips to play again, they were amazing at Rockness.

I'd love to see a 90s band play like Super Furry Animals or Supergrass but sadly I can't see it happening.

Beck would be fantastic as well , it's been 6 years since he last played so he's due back.

[rossg123]

Pixies

[Budweiser]

Weezer,Deftones,Offspring..

[Museaholic]

Anything would have been an improvement.

[robsadler]

arcade fire, soulwax, death cab for cutie or interpol would all be sweeeeeeeeeet.

[JakusMaximus]

All the suggestions have been awesome haha - Flaming lips, Tool (!!), Offspring, Sonic youth... Loads of bands spring to mind, that being said i never bothered to see Bloc party the last 2 times they played, so maybe i might do this time.. They seem pretty insistent!

i don't think Bloc Party are badly placed this year, it's just a waste of time them doing the same thing every year!

Arcade Fire would have been a good call

arcade fire would be good, enjoyed seeing them twice in 07 at glastonbury & reading

however I don't think they have any new material out?

Ahh The Kooks, if the Kooks played I'd quite like them to play some old songs, Naive/She Moves In Her Own Way


But

Oh yeah, Kasabian. I forgot about them. Enjoyed them at Glastonbury and the Leeds/Readiong crowd would surely lap them up?

Funnily enough, I dreamt not long ago that Pixies played 2nd to Radiohead this year. Would be reat to have them on the bill but it would be a bit odd, having a band headline not long after they reformed then a few years later play 2nd on the bill.

I've also just reminded myself about how I dreamt last night that Blur played 3rd down on the Radiohead day. Strange how I keep dreaming about this year's line-up actually having jaw-dropping names on the bill...

[j...rox]

Kasabian never disappoint. Would have liked doves there maybe knock up YYY or throw Lostprophets onto main as that clash disappoints.

Seen bloc party 2 times this year, amazing at Olympia and well supported by foals, rubbish at the itunes fest. Sunday 30th should be interesting.

[smeebob]

ah yeah, arcade fire or strokes would be mindblowing...

As has been well documented on here in the past, if I ever met Morrissey I would try to set him on fire. Or maybe just punch him as hard as possible in the throat, depends how much time I have

I agree with this.
And a Lostprophets/Bloc Party switch around would make me a happy person.

[jonnyisRFC]

Deffiantly Offspring.

[Jefrow]

anything other than bloc party..
NIN, offspring or weezer would have made me happy
