Eminem for reading 2009?

Eminem apelas a hell of a lot more to the rock audiance. He went down really well in 2001(?) I thort he was really good, didnt perticularly like him before I saw him that year but his live show convinced me. Hed defiantly headline if he did play again. The press at the time seemed to think he really enjoyed it, and thats probably why 50 cent came and played too so you never know it is a possibility...

I very much doubt he'll tour anything to be honest, when he 'retired' a couple years back the main reason was because he hated touring. So I can't see him doing any dates at all especially in the UK, and I just can't see him doing Reading and Leeds when there's a wealth of headliners next year who'd be more keen to do it and would probably draw in more rock followers.

Anyone questioning if eminem is big enough to headline, bare in mind the kind of places his tour was going to call at before he decided to f**k the whole thing off. There was definately a date at the MK bowl, and some googling says he's already played there before. If you can play dates to over 50,000 people in one night, you are a headliner and nothing but that.

No... we definitely don't want Eminem.

I was unfortunate enough to go and watch the twat at Milton Keynes Bowl, worst thing I've ever been to in my life.

There was a huge technical fault, I only really went to see Cypress Hill who appeared for one song..?? For about 4 hours we just sat looking at an empty stage that looked like a poor mans travelling funfair.

Once he hit the stage, I was wishing it was empty again like the rest of the day. Xzibit was good though, much better than Eminem.

The crowd were all angry 15 year old gimps in tracksuits, a funeral would have been a better day out.

Don't book Eminem.. he's shit.

I see you talk for everyon who attends the festival, Thats quite a tallent. Also Im sure that it was Eminem who personly scupperd the technical equpitment himself, infact I heard he makes a habit of it at every show!

I dont know if he was on a good day when he played last at Reading or he was on and off day then but he was really good at Reading. I went thinking he would be shite but he won over the whole crowed.

If Eminem headlines I will sell my ticket. (I'm sure you are all bothered!)

Let's start a better headliner prediction/rumour........TAKE THAT. I bet most people would love it,probably secretly, but they'd still go down a storm.

    • 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. 🙂
