this is from a mixture of what i've heard, read and been told so here's my guess

so headliners are pretty much 100% confirmed as muse, the strokes and MCR which at first i was like WTF!? but now im starting to think that they could actually pull off something special


So here we go

Friday
Muse
Elbow
Lostprophets
The Streets
Feeder
Taking Back Sunday
The Blackout
Bring Me The Horizon


Saturday
The Strokes
Pulp
Mumford and Sons
MGMT
Jamie T
Foals
Friendly Fires
Two Door Cinema Club


Sunday
MCR
30 Seconds to mars
not sure atm
Panic! at the disco
Sum 41
Good Charlotte
Avril Lavinge
Boys like girls (on tour with Good Charlotte in USA so just a guess)

[mrtourette]

My thinking is that if that's the main stage, I'm going to the tents.

The missing spot on Sunday could be someone like Korn of Deftones.

[Tigerdragon]

just a filler really, new album coming out this year, not playing other festivals, gotta love a jam to skater boy haa

[Yellow_Fellow]

i wasn't aware sunday was officially sponsored by the readers of Kerrang Magazine

[JWC126]

I'd be happy with the Friday and Saturday. Maybe Sunday as well, provided there's some decent stuff on in the tent.

I still think feeder would get 4th headline as they are one of those bands loved by the reading/leeds crowd. Taking back sunday would never be that high. Also think in 2011 sum 41 and good charlote wouldnt get that high.

[Leyser]

That Sunday wouldn't happen, in fact many of your days are too focused on one genre. I just can't see it

i would love deftones actually!

Weak Sundays

[bennyk]

that sunday is horrific

[matt123]

Saturday would be ideal for me, don't usually spend that much time at main stage but could gladly spend the entire day there. Apart from mumford & songs of course. Sunday is weak, would probably be in tents the entire day.

[madday_]

i think the sunday's actually pretty good, i love mcr/30STM/panic. although avril? she'd never do reading. she's pure pop now.
needs variety though as they have to have something that caters to everyone not just pop-punk fans.

[rexclark]

I'd be staying as far away from The Main Stage on  tthe Sunday as possible until perhaps MCR.

[Clemo]

Sunday would become an annual day of celebration for 14 year old girls all over the world if that was the line up.
With that in mind I wouldn't mind seeing Sum 41 or Good Charlotte for a bit of nostalgia & maybe Panic if they went back the their old line up.  
But yeah, in my opinion the Sunday needs a couple of older acts with slightly more credibility than Sum 41 & Good Charlotte, like having Weezer, Cypress Hill & Limp Bizkit last year.

[jump]

What a shit line up, thank god it has no chance of it being announced.

[DaveElNino]

That line-up feels almost too Reading like to be the line-up. lostprophets played last year and weren't particularly well received. TBS, The Blackout and Bring Me The Horizon would feel like lazy repeat bookings for early main - having been early on the main in 2008 (and in the case of BMTH and Blackout, played FR in 2009). The Saturday looks believable, though probably missing one of Jamie T/MGMT and one of Foals/Friendly Fires. The Sunday however is pretty unrealistic. It wouldn't surprise me to see Panic! high in the R1 stage, but I think their star has dimmed too much for them to play Main. Good Charlotte or Sum 41 would be reasonable for a middle of the afternoon Limp Bizkit type feel, but Avril Lavigne wouldn't play that low and would be bottled if she played higher.

I put this in the prediction thread, though I'd probably swap Jamie T for The Streets after thinking about it. That said mine feels a little too indie, even if it's diverse indie:

I'd imagine this is the role that The Offspring will play.

Would be pretty good, although I'd need something on Saturday - if Offspring and JEW were on the second stage that day it would work for me.
