2012 Lineup

[luckysalt]

I know probably everyone hates them but looking likely for The Wombats to be playing as they're playing Area 4 and Highfield which rules them out of V.

[gazza_20]

It starts a 7-10 days after Download and finishes a few days after Soni.

Would be very happy with The Wombats, the new album is fantastic and they're a great live band.

[jonnyx]

I'm the only one going fuuuuucking Wombats!

There is likely to be some shit bands booked, but thats so wrong.

[JIM-182]

Meh :L Sum 41 are more popular than a lot of people think, I was at Soni this year n their crowd was massive and they played an awesome set, so good live, until they got their sound cut for going over by about 4mins!

Back to reading though, I see the RHCP rumours seem to have died down, not just for reading but everywhere else too, is the knebworth gig their only one officially?

[Bisque]

It would need to be huge. If Pendulum can then surely Dizzee could?

Dizzee upstage Gorillaz no question Glasto last year.

[jonnyx]

What's so wrong with them? Decent enough fun band to watch in the sunshine with a cider & perfectly aimed at R+L demographic.

Been wanting to see them for ages & finally got tickets for Brixton but I find out I'm on standby

[TYLER_4]

i really doubt bloc party will headline.

[gazza_20]

So if R&L did end up with these headers, who for top 3?

Soundgarden

Pixies?

The Raconteurs?

The Killers

Bloc Party?

Mumford & Sons?

Foo Fighters

Tenacious D?

Placebo?

It has a top two from 08 and a 3rd band from 08 but it did easily sell out in 08 too.

[mrtourette]

I don't like some of them but it a good collection of bands. Too good in fact.

[JIM-182]

Soundgarden won't headline R&L, I'm that confident of saying it.

[gazza_20]

[Yellow_Fellow]

I have a good feeling Childish Gambino will be doing an OFWGKTA style set.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

opinions?

[chickenfire]

This needs to happen.

Sure there are a few placing issues but I don't care. The possibility of Death Cab into Flaming Lips literally makes me want to cry.

Although I think Flaming Lips and the Killers might be a bit too similar (even though they aren't really) to play at the same time.

[JIM-182]

The poster is pretty good although it doesn't really float my boat. Really hope Laura Marling doesn't play main stage, ever, she bores me beyond belief. I don't think yeah yeah yeahs would play 3rd, well I hope. would swap the enemy with vampire weekend as the enemy are amazing and have a new album out in 2012.

Edited December 21, 2011 by JIM-182

[pablopablo]

Vampire weekend are bigger than the enemy.

[JIM-182]

The Enemy are just as popular, and their music is so much better imo.

[redcarsgofaster]

Maximo won't headline the NME surely? their star has fallen. The Wombats would headline, although they seem more of a V band these days.

Are Foals releasing new material in 2012?

[JIM-182]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Maximo won't headline NME, they're not relevant anymore. Wombats would do a better job, I'd like them to post main though. Tinie Tempah NME headliner?
