2010 Predictions

[Lithium05]

dont know the answer to this to be honest.

but are tool big enough to headline a major festival? I know they headlined download a few years ago when it was trying to there foot on the major festival circuit.

[pink_triangle]

In think theres even less chance that tool would headline than system of a down. I think there would be a massive proportion of festival goers at reading/leeds who couldnt name a song by the band. Although I think they would be a good choice, I dont think its what organisrs are looking for,

I would love rem to headline but sometime gets the impression that the organisers are obsessed with being "cool" and these wouldnt really fit in with that. Also how much of a pull do rem have with the late teens target audience???

[thetime]

Rem pink triangle, no chance!

Its going to be the same on mainstream indie/rock like your green day, foos, muse or let's have a change and get metallica to play yawn!

[thomasowen]

It seems to me there is a misunderstanding between the words 'would' 'should' and 'could'. Just because a band could or should headline doesn't mean they would headline - if that makes sense. Yes SOAD and TOOL could (and may well should) headline but they almost certainly won't.

[gazza_20]

No idea, must have been on my mind! Your quite right, I meant Offspring Slipknot ARE bigger than Kasabina worldwide, no question but in England it is a lot more debatable, much closer than Offspring / Kasabian which is Kasabina hands down.

[inspectedinspector]

If that was the line up i'd deffo be going Download next year.

[rivalschools.price]

it could be worse.imagine if we ended up with the likes of coldplay and girls aloud.at least the organisers havent gone down that route yet.

[pink_triangle]

only 1 thing i can really say is that offspring have headlined download. kasabian were chosen for a support band to a headliner in a stadium.

[moz4pm]

I would watch girls aloud

[Vieuphoria]

Id be happy with the Friday and the Saturday. Just put the strokes over the libertines.

Then get some heavier bands on the sunday and it would be pretty good

[thomasowen]

why?

[rivalschools.price]

I would watch girls aloud

[thomasowen]

ha ha.i meant for musical purposes.

[rivalschools.price]

The irony is that Girls Aloud are probably more respected as a musical act than many headliners are. Their greatest hits got an 8.5 on pitchfork media and their recent album got 8 in nme (higher than recent scores for Arctic Monkeys and KOL). I doubt many people would agree with these reviews but its worth pointing out.

[Jaybles]

why?

[gazza_20]

I dont get the comparison, kasabian wouldnt headline download as they are in a genre that is not often seen at that festival. However a british metal bands with the sales kasabian have had would havw headlined download.

AC/DC will never do Reading (again? (I think they did it in the seventies))

I suspect that Pavement will be in there somewhere.

Pavement will be snaffled off to Latitude.
