Next years headliners.

[Jaybles]

I agree,

If ever a petition for a band is needed, its to get rammstein playting next year

[BobbyG]

The idea of The Artics headlining is immensly boring, they were dull as f**k when they played under Muse in '06 and are ridiculously overhyped. I'd also be shcoked to see AC/DC play when they'd not only suit Download more, but could probably still fill a stadium by themselves.

[Sparticus]

whilst i'd like to see arctic monkeys again, the crowd for them at leeds that year was full of c**ts, bit of a shame. The prodigy would drive me back to leeds, but other than that gonna try something like rock werchter next year.

[dan666]

I think Rammstein would be much better at Download, As they have been asking them for years and years.

Would love to see them.

[Duffbox]

Maybe:

Friday - Arctic Monkeys

Saturday - Oasis / Kasabian

Sunday - AC/DC

[Dirty Boots]

Oasis have got a single in a month, then an album coming out in October. I believe they've also got some live dates in October/November. Can see them headlining T and Reading next year.

[Padley]

Kings Of Leon, Oasis, AC/DC

The Streets, Kasabian, Slipknot, Weezer

Klaxons, Glasvegas, The View

[TheUnpolished]

It will be:

AC/DC or Green Day

Kaiser Chiefs or Arctic Monkeys

Radiohead or Oasis

Kaiser Chiefs are aching to headline leeds cuz it's their home town!

I generally think it's gunna be radiohead and to be a festival geek I've made reasons on why:

1. Reading & Leeds can offer them a crap load more cash than Glastonbury (glasto can only pay them them £200,000) whilst R&L can pay em a million and as much as ppl argue - MUSICIANS LOVE THE CASH

2. They've headlined glasto before they've never headlined R&L

3. R&L have dropped their main sponsor (carling) - which radiohead have criticised them before for having!

4. Radiohead have criticised glasto for not being eco friendly - R&L have much more public transport to the event

5. Radiohead didnt do any english festies last year in order to tour in rainbows - so they will b lookin for an english festival to play - though Latitude prob is a more appropriate festie for them tbh

[charley]

Blur or New Order would never headline the Sunday unless you're talking about the Sunday at Leeds in which case I can't see any other slot for either.

[Timmah]

Hmmm... thinking about it New Order would be pretty sweet, but quite farfetched...

[SOAD]

Alright SOAD? Pretty realistic line-up there.

[zahidf]

Accoridng to Melvin Benn int eh nme, they are going to try to get a band headlining who've never headlined the festivla before...

So, that could be Artic Monkeys, Kings of Leon or Kaiser Chiefs...

[Brock_Lesner]

Have AC/DC ever headlined Reading?

[pink_triangle]

I can see both pendulum and vampire weekend flying up the bill next year.4th headliners at the lowest or possibly headlining radio 1 tent which is probably the equivalent.

[Brock_Lesner]

Having thought about it for a while and just seeing a video on Scuzz, I think that MCR might do Friday, KOL or other indie band Saturday and AC/DC for Sunday.
