Stick or twist

[benissright]

This is of course assuming reading has those three headliners. But if you were given the power to move three headliners over, would you?

Cos id stick.

[Mamba]

Can I have Bruce Springsteen, Kings of Leon and Faith No More please. Or does it not work like that!

[beLIEveR]

Personally I think Oasis are "bigger" than Radiohead (the latter are a million times the live band though and hardly tiny), and that Blur are the most impressive in the "I can't believe that band is playing!" sense (again, I'd go for Radiohead personally). On the basis that I dislike most of the other acts I would reluctantly go Reading.

I would also add that this isn't a true comparison with Download in the list. There are a lot of Reading goers to whom none of the other festivals would appeal whoever played. But to them, however mediocre Download's lineup is, that'll get the vote.

[Mamba]

I'd probably go for T In The Park although I'd happily miss the Killers or Blur if something better was on. I just marginally prefer them to Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys.

[jammy2211]

Reading.

[Benj]

Looking at that, Reading (Im seeing Blur at hyde park, would probably have gone Glasto otherwise)

To cherry pick from it-

Blur, Radiohead, Springsteen

[Obsydyan]

I'd like Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Slipknot.

But I'm more than happy that i've got a ticket for reading and i'm sure i'll find something to do if i don't want to see the main stage headliners.

[Budweiser]

Reading.

but i'd have

Kings of leon Slipknot Radiohead

[benissright]

now isnt this nice, not everyone is moaning about the reading headliners.

My plan worked.

[Joshuwarr]

If it was an actual pick n mix I'd have Radiohead (reading), Pixies (IOW) and Blur (glasto)

[fat_man_joe]

Reading. Although V is quite tempting.

[faegesubsig]

I'm only going for the radiohead day, but i don't mind the other two, just i'm stingy with money this year. I'd have gone to glasto, but i missed out on tickets. By far the best 3 headliners in Neil Young, Blur and The Boss, though radiohead are my favorite band and i'm going to hard rock calling, so i'm only missing out on blur really... oh well!

If we are going purely on HEADLINERS, I would say V. Oasis and Fat Boy Slim would be immense. I wouldn't go though, went last year and the festival is full of idiots

But its a daft way to judge a festival, there is 120 acts at Leeds, why piss and moan over 10 that are rumored

[dan666]

f**k off Def Leppard and have Radiohead then that would be a lineup. Faith no more is the best headliner there.

[lidds]

Weel when you put it like that I guess I would have to stick

I guess we spend to much time thinking of our own perfect 3 and dont take into consideration what others have got

[ALLHALLOWS]

I think the Glasto line up is far and away the best line up..ours is pretty lame at the side of it however the other hundred or so bands yet to be added to Leeds/Reading will make up for it.

[ledgend777]

Not that fussed on any of them tbh. I'm not accussing anyone on here and KOL have had big crowds in the past, but so many people have jumped on the bandwagon since the last couple of singles have come out and now they are some sort of awesome legendary band who everyone claims to like.

Arctic Monkeys are alright but over-rated imo, and unfortunately I've never been a big fan of Radiohead although they were alright when I seen them in V a couple of years ago (I watched them as no one else decent was on).

I intend going this year as we're only talking about 3 bands - plenty of others to see which is what I'll be doing.

[moshing]

What we have I suppose but if I could cherry pick I would go for:

Faith no More

Radiohead

Blur

Shame you didn't put Sonisphere as that would have changed my answer.

[moshing]

Would have then had to say, you can pick sonisphere but you arent allowed to have the nme, fr or lock up stage.

[benissright]

Thats just not fair - we were talking about headliners - I want my choice of headliners and all the good bands on all the other stages.

[2reese2]

reading clearly has the best one overall (if only they had slipknot)

for a mix though i would have to go for:

Friday

Arctic monkeys

Kings of Leon

Saturday

Slipknot

the prodigy

Sunday

Radiohead

Blur

that would be one killer line up

[kaosmark2]

Reading.

Pixies, Radiohead, Faith No More if I get to pick.

[MJMilz14]

Reading wins on the basis that im already going to Glasto as well, so wouldn't want the same headliners twice
