2013 Lineup

[thetime]

Can't wait to see them at Latitude, Metronomy then Bon Iver will be excellent. The naysayers may just be eating their words next year, but we'll have to wait and see.

[The Mean Bean]

Well that's what Wild Beasts are for! And I really have no issue with Paul Weller, so it's all good. The big question for me is Elbow vs Los Campesinos, and then there's the possibility of the Horrors on top of that.

[gazza_20]

actually they haven't sold out any arenas yet for their tour. maybe if you did some research before typing stuff like that then it wouldn't make you seem silly. (can still get tickets for all of the dates online via their site )

also they'd surely be more suited to V, because damn their music is garbage

[mrtourette]

Bon Iver headlining next year is absurd. Unlike Arcade Fire or a more likely future possibility like The National he/they haven't been tested with a prime main stage slot before, and he/they aren't currently as attractive to the mainstream or fans of other R&L genres as those other two.

[Yellow_Fellow]

They, by the way.

[mrtourette]

Yeah that's my take on it, but some smart arse is always likely to pipe up saying it's just the one guy.

[The Mean Bean]

It's interchangeable really. To be pendantic, I'd say "he" is appropriate when referring to Bon Iver on record, and "they" when referring to Bon Iver live, but either pronoun will do at any time.

[Mouseboy11]

Even if it is unlikely, I still want Pearl Jam to headline just to hear this!

[lharris92]

Seats in a back row of an arena maybe, becausyou don't like them does not mean they wouldn't gea very high place in the lineup.

I was really disappointed by the footage I've seen. They look really dull.

[Vieuphoria]

Bit of a dumbass thing to say

But I wasn't there. So it's all I have to go by. Hence why I stated that it was only from the TV coverage.

[kev1664]

As has been said, AF got a small crowd, as did Pulp, as will probably The Cure. I will have seen two of them by august end but I like the rest will be the minority.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Pulp's Reading crowd was huge too.

[kev1664]

Also I must say if SOAD were to play r&l again, headline would be the only place for them, they'd smash it, and would sell a mass amount of day tickets, next year however I see Biffy as the more alternative headliner, I can't see r&l having two more alternative headliners, I can also see the prodigy topping the bill on another day so a two hour slot band would be needed to fill the void even though the prodigy probably could make a two hour set.
