Who will be announced this week?

[mrf1shie]

If you change the article number from the last one, (Oasis) 43910 to 43911 it says festival news, but no article yet. So it looks like it's coming.

Laugh all you like, when the reunion happens (and it will, no doubt about it) we shall see

[Im_in_a_tent]

why hasnt efestivals got a leak yet

[scottt]

The Libertines where offered 2 million to headline the mainstage where they not?

[HearnyIchiban]

The Libertines were asked to headline the main stage this year according to Pete. A reunion would be huge.

Twitter now says 11pm tonight - a chance for FR to take the limelight away from Download?

[Jamesyp42]

When did pete say it was main stage?

They would be an awesome NME headliner. I could see them headlining NME, defo. NME bum them.

Or second to The Strokes on Mainstage next year would be nice

£2million for an NME headliner?

Just think about that for a second

Fair play lol

"Could you imagine the uproar if they headlined - they had (have) an hardcore number of fans but no where near a KoL, RATM, Arctic's, Radiohead - seriously "

I think they have a fan base size similar to Arctic Monkeys though. But they arent a headline style act though

Have you people forgot that the guy who books bands said it was gunna be 2 big rock bands headlining the nme that gunna make up 4 the lack it on the mainstage.

The Libertines (though as good as they are) are not a big rock band!

[tomdsjames]

I'm still hoping for Lostprophets and The Offspring although I'm a bit worried by the fact that The Offspring have been removed as rumours for Leeds Festival

libertines jazz would be quite interesting

[wheres the mudfight]

must've missed the 'Heavy Rock' bit. do Sonic Youth count? that'd be cool. I guess lost prophets are a certainty so only leaves one more...

... The Ramones! just gimme a time machine and I'll make it happen
