Heres my take onit, Looks a bit strange but if this year is anything to go by then it'll be fine.

The other thing is Q.o.t.S.A going 3rd down but i just thought it'd work of Foo's day.

[thomasowen]

Here is what I'm thinking about some of the predicted bands

Muse - I'm pretty sure they will be at Glasto or Download next year, and seeing as Reading don't usualy share headliners with glastonbury I can't see Muse playing. It isn't completely out of the question but I think its more likely they will play elsewhere in 2010 before coming back to Reading and Leeds in 2011

Green Day - They pulled out of the 2009 lineup so two options look likely. One they pulled out saying instead they would play in 2010, or they pulled out and FR don't want the bother of trying to get them so they won't ask again. Of course they could be playing stadiums and refuse to do festivals altogether which is also likely. Personaly I think there is a big chance they will be there.

Blink 182 - If they play they will headline but they won't play if Green day play. I think that if Greenday are not headlining then Blink will.

The Libertines - Pete's been wanting to reform the band for many years but Carl says he won't reform unless Pete cleans up which I can't see happening in time for next year. Also Carl has a solo album coming out so I can not see The Lib's headlining anything anytime soon.

The Strokes - I'm almost certain they will be at a festival next year, so it may well be Reading or V. Hopefully they will still be big enough to headline but we can't rule out them playing second.

Iron Maiden - I think these will be back at a UK festival soon although there is stron competition from Sonisphere (surely Download will have Metallica and therefore not Iorn Maiden?) Personaly I think Sonisphere is more likely.

AC/DC - Haven't they said they have been offered festivals next year? They certainly wanted to do this year but couldn't because of other commitments, so If they are still touring or promoting next summer then I think Reading and Leeds could be very likely.

Kasabian - I'm sure they will have finished touring and promoting by next August and will there be the intrest in them for them to headline? Personaly I don't think so.

Foo Fighters - I don't know if their 'break' will be over by then, but they are festival favourites and if they are back with a new album next year then they are surely very likely...

R.E.M - we always get a headliner who is quite out of the blue, eg Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Radiohead. R.E.M may be an outside choice to headline then...

My Chemical Romance - I really hope this doesn't happen but there have been those annoying twitter updates and I would be quite surprised if they didn't play. Question is where abouts? Headline or below the headliner?

It may be someone more out of the box such as Beatie Boys, Aerosmith, The Who, or Blur if they want to play more shows.

I think there will be a good chance of Hot Chip headlining the NME stage. They should have a new album out by then and have been quiet on the festivals front this year. I'm not a fan but they can pull a huge crowd.

[thomasowen]

With lostprophets and Faith no more headlining the NMe tent this year, how you sit there and make a suggestion like that? Hotchip are no way big enough to headline NME tent.

Edited September 8, 2009 by thomasowen

[pink_triangle]

I can see elbow playing next year. Either headlining nme tent or 2nd/2rd headliners.

[dave_mac]

Of course she could. She has the power of love.

I think we'll share Blink 182 as a headliner with Download, and Green Day will do V/Sonisphere. I dont think Muse will play Glasto,cos havent they said theyre getting bands who are Glasto legends cos its the 40th anniversary? V fest could get Kasabian. I hope to god Bloc Party dont come back; theyve become the festival republic house band.

[Messi30]

I will only go back to Reading if some of the following play; Pearl Jam, Primus, Ween, Pixies, Echo & The Bunnymen, 80's Matchbox, FNM (again) becoming like Danny Glover in regards to Reading.

[inspectedinspector]

I really hope the Cribs are there, I like the new album a lot!

[Budweiser]

You convieniently left of gossip... Hot Chip could easily headline next year if they have another hit as big as Ready for the floor or over and over

[thomasowen]

But they co headlined ..

Hot chip couldn't headline the NME tent and if they did i would be very suprised with NME getting a new decent editor.

Not too sure tbh just though with the Blink comeback they are likely to Headline?? Not too sure though tbh??

[inspectedinspector]

Blink over The Offspring ?

[gazza_20]

There's no way in hell Kasabian will be third down the bill. Kasabian are bigger now in the UK than Blink, The Offspring or Slipknot ever were/have been.

[thomasowen]

bigger than the offspring is debatable

[pink_triangle]

Kasabian are confortbaly more popular than the offspring, if both released an album on the same day the record sales wouldnt even be close. Offsprings populairty peaked in the uk in the late 90s/early 00 and has been on a steady decleine ever since. There is no chance they would ever headline and I wouldnt be surprised if they were relegated to 3rd headliners.
