We can hope.

Indeed, i still feel the line up will be completely different to what people believe and hopefully Green Day will be one of those differences.

[Rough Trader]

I love the three bands we have at the moment regardless. So while it's not the biggest and best line up for all concerned, I'm pretty lucky. Green Day wouldn't hurt a bit though. Better than some awful, overweight GnR tribute, put it that way.

Yeah i agree, i love all 3 bands too just feel AF and MCR aren't headline material tbh.

First post for me (be nice)

in response to the headliners I would say that Blink, AF and MCR would be extremely weak, and if Green day were added it would undoubtably make it a stronger lineup. I just have a funny feeling that we don't know the whole story - and obviously wont until late march. Expect the unexpected is all i can say (and hope).

However headliners don't make a festival (they may sell one though), for me if any of these bands were to play I would be a happy bunny

Biffy
Wolfmother
the offspring
BRMC
the cribs
Foals
Editors
Feeder
Julian casablancas
LCD soundsystem
The xx
Weezer

Chances?

[Lithium05]

All of those are pretty strong posibilities

[revert]

Not Feeder. Renegades possibly, but not Feeder.

Chances?

Editors are at V Festival so they won't be at L/R

[borobud]

So do we think MCR will still be at L/R (hopefully subbing to Green Day) now that their drummer has left? as the new drummer will have to learn all their new material aswell as their previous 3 albums.

Unless they have an understudy drummer

[Role Model]

this drummer issue isnt going to stop them playing, people need to let it go.

[Lithium05]

Aye, I remember the drummer missed a good chunk of the Black Parade tour because he got badly burned while filming a video ("Famous Last Words" I believe the vid was for, him getting burned is still in the vid), they had no problem sorting out a temporary replacement then, I doubt very much they will have any trouble finding one now, be it temporary or permanent.

Yeah i remember this hense the understudy comment like most bands have. But will it affect confidence etc or MCR wanting to play, we never know. I'm not fussed if they headline as i like them would just prefer them under a 'bigger' band

[jammy2211]

But MCR's music is so complicated could they possibly find someone talented enough to learn it in just 7 months?

[TomDB]

From the statement MCR have made it almost seems as if it was them kicking him out, or at most mutual consent so i don't think in any shape or form any of them were surprised it was going to happen when it did hence i think that if they knew they would've organised a replacement already, maybe for the album but definitely for any shows they'll be doing, the 'new' drummer has 5 months to learn between now and the festival and it seems Bryar has been out of the band for about a month anyway so make that 6. May or may not affect the headlining (or playing, depending on what you believe) but i think it'll be the latter and we will see em this year
