Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[lharris92]

It's only been five years once

[lharris92]

I'm still convinced that SOAD aren't big enough to headline

If they are big enough to headline Download.... They are big enough to headline Reading and Leeds.

They'll go where the money is, they've always made that pretty clear.

I think SOAD is a good shout, I reckon if they did play they would headline the Friday at Reading. Deftones would fit very nicely 3rd down too. Black Sabbath just doesn't come accross as a band R&L would book (I know they booked Guns n' Roses). Plus after doing Download last year I can't see them drawing as many fans as SOAD would. A combination of Eminem & SOAD would be very appealing to some people. Then you have Biffy who are making the jump and are a British band so I think it fits rather well.

Frank Turner has some major news to be announced tomorrow.

He's definitely the third headliner. He's played the Olympic Stadium and The Excel Centre, he has the back-catalogue and he's played enough shows over the years to have earned a spot as headliner.

I'm going with SOAD. Don't know where people are getting the idea that they aren't big enough; they've been headlining festivals all over the world over the last few years. They subbed Reading in 2003, but that was without comeback demand (which there ought to be plenty of still since they've only played the one UK show since reuniting, and that will have been two years ago by the summer) and that was also before they released Hypnotize and Mezmerize, two of their most successful albums which added a lot of the more popular songs to their catalogue.

Blur/SOAD wouldn't mind either of them!

Your right the third headliner is a little bit of a blur at the minute...

[Mouseboy11]

just terrible haha

[mrtourette]

Editors and dEUS have headlined festivals across Europe. Headlining festivals elsewhere means jack shit.

[kev1664]

Whoever it is I think the girls and boys will love them.

[lharris92]

May have been slightly tongue in cheek, though he may very well headline. Just not the main stage.

[mattgimmeshelter]

My prediction, biffy subbed by soad (anything can happen), Mumford subbed by vaccines, & eminem subbed by the xx. Seems reading enough.

The Vaccines won't sub. In fact, I think they'll be at V.
