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.

An educated guess would be (this would seem quite possible)-

Friday-Weezer

Saturday-Muse

Sunday-AC/DC

My dream lineup-

Friday-Muse

Saturday-Pink Floyd

Sunday-Radiohead

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*

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!

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?

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.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
