Added as a rumour, caught a glimpse of them in 2007 wern't to bad.

Thoughts? Would you like them to be added?

Wouldn't mind but seen a few times already so no big miss.

What's intresting is where the f**k could they play though? Maybe Sunday Main, as they must be far too big for FR stage unless they are a NME headliner like last year with Faith No More & Lostprophets?

[Lithium05]

Nah, when Zane Lowe made the first announcement he confirmed the three bands currently topping the R1 stage are the headliners. I think they're pretty much set in stone.

Are Ash really that big a draw anymore? I reckon they could be FR headliners the one night these days

[KingOfTheRodeo]

Ash headlining the FR stage on the GnR day would make the line-up perfect.

[dirtydenzel]

Going to see them tomorrow night and can't wait !

They are mint live !

I agree, except I'd put then on the Arcade Fire day.... Unless there's a good lock-up headliner that day.... In fact I'd just have them clash with whichever lock-up day is the poorest.

I can see it happening as they are no longer the powerhouse they were but they are playing big venues  and headlining John Peel stage at Glasto and the other headlienrs are Jamie T/Groove Armada. Jamie T was 2nd on NME lat year and it's about what I would expect them to be so maybe under NME headliner.

With them being short of bands on Sunday main I'm leaning there but if they were suited to Lock Up/Dance I'd say they would be one of the headliners as the FR is still a small stage and it would get rammed if they are upgainst Arcade Fire.

I think it was '96 when Ash had the best festival t-shirt for years "3 boy hard-core action"

Oh yeah and they're great live.

[pink_triangle]

Ash may not have mainstream success anymore but are still popular with the reading/leeds festival crowd. I think the tent would be rammed for festival republic and thye could easily pull a decent crowd high up in the radio 1 tent.

Ash on the rumour list? That's good news. No idea where they'd fit on the line-up though.

[Vieuphoria]

Stick em under LB so i dont have to sit through YM@S. Would be 4 great acts in a row before i look elsewere

[ArcadianDreamer]

Apparantly, at their Leeds Met gig the other night one of them said something along the lines of "We'll see you again in the summer at a well known near by festival."

[petewilson09]

saw ash on sunday at newcastle academy and were awesome, a lot better than i expected! wasnt sold out though so could headline FR stage, hopefully on GnR day!

they said they would be playing gigs agin in autumn which opens them up for leeds/reading.

parlotones were good support aswell!!!

[ap3311]

This was a nice surprise when logged on today. I'd love to see them but not over GnR/Blink. FR on Saturday or slotted in somewhere please.

[fat_man_joe]

I'd love to see Ash but would never spend the like £23 they're charging for it, so this would be perfect.

Definitely, I've seen them supporting someone else last year and really really enjoyed them. I can see them getting much bigger as time goes on.
