...and Rock Werchter last year (plus about 5 other times!)...where I have to say they were magnificent. In fact, I'd take the 2008 RW headliners quite happily (REM, Radiohead, Neil Young & Beck)...but I guess we really only have a realistic chance of two of those.

I listened to Automatic For The People on the way into work.

Brilliant, brilliant album. Saw REM at Manchester Move in 2003 - they were amazing.

So a big 'Hell Yeah!' from me.

just a great band with an awesome catalogue.

i went to see em last year at twickers and they were awesome, so good in fact i went a bought the latest album (i have to admit that i hadnt bought the last 2 cos the stuff since monster had been pretty average IMO) and loved it - a real return to form!!

Which was their latest? The last one I bought was Up, which I love. Obviously, I got 'The Best Of' but that doesn't count.

I'd also forgotten about 'The One I Love' until it appeared on Guitar Hero: World Tour and it got me back into them. I love that song.

They were amazing at T in 2008! The only thing was they heavily played their new album which i dont think is too strong!

However, they were still a brilliant band and could see them headlining this year to be honest!

I'd be chuffed to bits with REM as a headliner. Big fan and never seen them live. I agree that after Monster their stuff tailed off a bit and haven't got/heard Accelerate. I can see some iTunes time in my immediate future though....

R.E.M. are brilliant. I've seen them many times including at Glastonbury 99. I'd be very happy if they headlined but I can't see it happening having played twice before. Second from top or co-headlining would be great. For those that haven't got Accelerate I'd really recommend it - definitely a return to form and earlier sounds. R.E.M. didn't decline with Monster - New Adventures in Hi-Fi is one their very best and criminally underrated.

REM were the first real band I have seen and I still think they are the best thing I have seen live. Not only do they have a superb back catalogue but Stipe is a tremendous front man with a great voice. If they headlined it would be great and no doubt draw a huge crowd.

      Did you camp or go for a hotel? I looked into it briefly and seems easy enough to get back to Nuremberg.

      Been last time in 2018 when the festival was happening in parque Bela vista. ls the new location good for such a big festival? What's the temperature in the evening near Tejo? Should we bring a raincoat or a jacket?

      Chemical Brothers? All for it cause they’re phenomenal live but struggle to see how they’d go down. Would anticipate Chase and Status/Prodigy coming back at some point though.
