Next years headliners.

[Technodanceaphobic]

Please if there is a god, not the Arctic Monkeys.

Just imagine the twats in the crowd if they headlined, it was bad enough them being so high the other year.

Awful, regional NME band.

Gossip

It's all a bit soon really... feel confident on the headliners though. Foo's headlining Glasto, Oasis at V / T, AC/DC do no festivals and MEtallica / Slipknot / Rammstein for Download.

One part I'm not sure on is Fall Out Boy could headline Download.

Also not sure on Kaiser Cheifs.... could see Kooks 2nd and someone else 3rd, just struggling to think of a suitable band at the moment.

sure, in this country, fine. It's not that i don't think it's the way the organizers want it. More that i don't think the strokes would accept the slot. Anyway, i reckon Bloc Party might come back....again...*sigh* to go under Arctic Monkeys headlining.

[MM Punk]

Awful regional band that headlined Glastonbury last year!

Come on then who would you prefer rather than just slagging off a bands region?

[HoTWire]

No one has mentioned Franz Ferdinand yet. 3rd Album out in Jan, reckon they could take a 2nd slot easily or higher depending on the albums reception.

I also sometimes wonder if the Gorillaz 3D thing could be done for a headline set, but doubt it would be now, due to cost. Would also need a new album or the movie to finally happen for it to make sense for next year. File under wish.

Korn's new album comes out next year apparently.

Also Morissey is likely to be out and about next year.

Would love to see Rhymefest play as well... but doubt it'll happen.

Right now though I'm going to start the rumour that Refused will headline the Lockup Stage*

My prediction

Fri-Arctic monkeys (although i really hope not)

Kaiser Cheifs

Sat-Muse

Lostprophets

Sun-ACDC

Slipknot

[sixlinepoem]

Dude,possibly the most conservative headliners possible? If I do go back next year,I want one band who aren't radio friendly,mainstream rock.

[King Blue]

I know! I'm boring, but that would make the weekend perfect for me

I don't think I could tollerate standing through Kanye West or Daft Punk for over 30 minutes though! But each to their own!

[micawber]

Surprised at all of the Muse shouts. They only just headlined in 2006 and I expect them to be recording next year. I really don't want to see a repeat headliner from the last three years, and I don't think that we will.

I know lots of folk want Daft Punk, so put them in a tent somewhere please, but I'd have to take a shotgun to my head if I had to endure more than 5 minutes. I'm getting old!

Here`s my stab in the Dark (Leeds);

Friday: Linkin Park - Korn - Deftones

Saturday: Bush - Fallout Boy - Lost Prophets

Sunday: Artic Monkeys - Kaiser Chiefs - Weezer

(Probably replace Bush with Blink 182,MCR, Green Day or Muse)

Beastie Boys, Marilyn Manson & ACDC please

Too big for a tent man. Headlining or nothing. They most definitely have the songs,size and performance to put on a fantastic headline show,even if its not to your taste,and to be honest,it has to be better than the majority of bands being bandied about this thread no?

[King Blue]

i really don't think they'd headline the whole thing. They aren't THAT big. I mean, If the Manics can headline the NME, i don't see why Daft Punk couldn't.

[VCK]

(Leeds)

FRIDAY: Green Day, Marilyn Manson, KoRn, Paramore

SATURDAY: Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Weezer, Primal Scream

SUNDAY: R.E.M., The Prodigy, The Flaming Lips, Maximo Park

NME headliners: The Streets, Ian Brown, Enter Shikari

[Greeny_Musicchild]

Daft Punk headline festivals all over the world and there's no tent big enough for them. They would have to headline,and they are definitely big enough to pull it off. They are a bigger act than Manic's,without a doubt.

[micawber]

Well, i said The Strokes would never fit under AM's. Rightly, in retrospect, someone said in the UK they would...

I reckon in the UK Daft Punk arn't big enough to headline reading and Leeds....well, I don't think they are the typre of act that would headline this festival in particular.

although i'd like it, im sure it wouldn't go down that well with the main audience, and i think Festival Republic would be aware of that.

Get Flava involved, get X back off his ostrich farm and lets see Public Enemy.
