Probably take away 1 or 2 indie bands and replace with heavier bands.

Florence is a guess. I thought she might be play V but I reckon Noel Gallagher and Snow Patrol might be the subs there so I reckon there's half a chance she might headline.

The subs I'm really not sure of as well. If bloc party did it, that would be the 3rd time in 5 years they've played 2nd from top which would be a bit OTT. But tbh I really can't think of anyone else about who they might think of booking.

I've noticed a lot of people have the Vaccines in there predictions but I very much doubt they'll be there. The band from the NME tour from the previous year who's got the biggest since the tour always plays V. Can't see that changing tbh. Also can't see Mumford playing. I reckon the only reason they didn't play V last year is because they rejected the opportunity, so I can see them been there this year.

That line up would be incredible, unfortunately its mega unrealistic.

That poster line up would be awesome, I'd be there for sure.

[DanLawless]

This has intrigued me far too much. Spent the last hour trying to think of potential venues of that size that aren't obvious. Wherever it is I'm definitely there!

[Kierkegaard]

At the minute the plan is inside Park Hills flats...

[The Mean Bean]

Crowd in the central courtyard bit... people lining the balconies...

This is the most ridiculous/brilliant idea I've heard in a long time.

I hope it's true, where did you find this out?

[mrtourette]

Why would Phoenix play fourth down in the tent when in 2010 they subbed?

[GRichards23]

[she bangs the drums]

Best Poster ive seen in ages, what a great, great line up.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I think people have got to realise it's highly unlikely for the fest to be that heavy. It's more likely for it to go the other way.

On that poster, I've also just noticed how funnily out of place Metronomy are.

[mrtourette]

It's good but not realistic.

[Andre91]

Does anyone think Soundgarden may be one of the headliners?

[purplehaze81]

Why does everyone keep wanging on about Soundgarden? The majority of the youf have not heard of them, and if they ever play they would be third down at best.

[Andre91]

I don't even like Soundgarden, people have just been mentioning them a lot and I wondered if they would be in contention for headlining because I don't think they could and I really don't think they should. And how do you know if people have heard of them or not :S?

Edited January 11, 2012 by Andre91

[purplehaze81]

That's my opinion. But I honestly don't believe that many of the R+L target demographic would either have heard of or care enough about Soundgarden to warrant a headline slot.

[jump]

As fun as this arguement has been for the last 2 years (including the great case that Chris Cornell had a top 10 single from a Bond film therefore they're still huge) MB has said before he'd book them to headline but with them subbing at Rock am Ring it's more likely they'd get a lower slot like Faith No More did.

[purplehaze81]

1 top 10 hit, over 5 years ago.

I stand by my opinion.
