2009 Headliners - Place your bets now

[Ed209]

So who do you think will be headlining 2009's festival?

I'm thinking

AC DC - Reforming and new album on the horizon

Tool

Then one of the following indie bands - Klaxons/Bloc Party/Artic Monkeys/Oasis!?

Any other ideas?

[Ed209]

ooooh, just had a thought. Its possible (only possible mind you) that Chinese Democracy might actually be out by next summer. Could Axel plus support (they're only GnR by name) make an appearance....?

[Ed209]

They split

Anyway, ACDC, Greenday, Maybe Foo's or some other indie band that the NME are bumming at he time.

[Ed209]

Last i heard (on Monday) is that they've got a new album 'Black Ice' out in october and are staring a world tour at the same time ....

[dan666]

Tool wont be there.

Foos maybe, Green day? Or even a blink renuinon?

[Ravislayer]

AC/DC definately.

Green Day will be about then again too i think... the other will be bloc party or someone equally as shit.

[VCK]

Oasis

Green Day

AC/DC

[floateegoatee]

Green Day

Muse

Oasis

lovely.

[benisright]

Green Day / Offspring

Arctic Monkeys / Klaxons

AC/DC / Slipknot

1st and 2nd headliners there for you. Unlike my usual predictions, this one will be quite static.

[micawber]

Would love to see

- Arcade Fire

- Greenday

- AC/DC

But expect a more tepid

- Kaiser Chiefs or Artic Monkeys

- Kings of Leon or Kasabian

- Greenday or Foo Fighters

[Lithium05]

Arctic Monkeys

Green Day

ACDC

Although I'm not 100% sure about Green Day. Think they might not be around til 2010. Will probably be someone like (but not necessarily) MCR or Linkin Park

When are the headliners booked? Will they have been booked already?

[dakyras]

Biffy Clyro will most likely headline a tent if they get another album out.

[Jookie]

Arctic Monkeys

Kaiser Chiefs

Kooks

Kings of Leon

Franz Ferdinand

Lostprophets

AC/DC

The Offspring

Slipknot

[micawber]

LAst year RATM and MEtallica were booked Oct / Nov and Killers a bit later.

[headshrinker1979]

Green Day, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys

[darrenbha]

think its telling that the ac/dc thing that as far as i can tell failed miserably at reading was billed as a dress rehearsal, other than that Green Day and Kaiser Chiefs

[Redcanadahat]

i have a strong feeling that green day are gonna headline.

i hope silverchair play another reading :-( or just come back to the Uk in general.

[uppercrusties]

I think kol would be good. They at least deserve it much more than some headliners over the last two years such as Razorlight and the Killers in my opinion

Not on headlining note I'd love to see Hundred Reasons back! Weezer would be cool to see too!

[ilovemaiden]

Im going with Kasabian, Monkeys, Green Day

[thomasowen]

Anyway, ACDC, Greenday, Maybe Foo's or some other indie band that the NME are bumming at he time.

[benisright]

NME bum the arctic monkeys, but which publication doesnt?

Im suggesting its going to be an odd year, with Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Green Day.

Id rather Kings of Leon instead of Muse though. I think the Monkeys and Green Day are dead certs, with the last position well...anyones.

[Technodanceaphobic]

Look for Glasvegas to probably end up in one of the high slots on the NME Stage cos NME are bumming them big time!

Fri - Some metal band i wont watch!

Sat - Kings Of Leon

Sun - Arctic Monkeys / Muse

Dont book the verve, decent band but pretty boring live i found at V!
