my line-up 2010

[rockinthecasbah]

And the majority of the Friday NME lineup could make a decent claim to be headlining the tent.

[jordanuk90]

You know what they say about opinions ..... Although not a bad lineup but people don't go to R/L just for music it's just a good atmosphere

[rexclark]

No way Kasabian would headline NME (too big) or Alice In Chains (not big enough). Biffy I could see though.

If you ask me this is one of the closest and probably one of the better line up predictions.

Id of thought Kasabian would of played above The Strokes nowadays?

[thomasowen]

Your lineup looks accurate to me, but the thought of The Enemy and The Pigeon Detectives playing above Modest Mouse saddens me deeply. Unfortunately it would probably happen.

[VCK]

It's a sorry state of affairs but they probably would.

[rexclark]

I love The Strokes but I'd be happy to see Kasabian play above them.

[VCK]

I'd rather spend an hour watching Michael McIntyre and I f**king hate Michael McIntyre.

[Poleski]

A few bands i think should be put on the bill to help the annual problem of complaints about the line up.

coheed and cambria

fall of troy

the mars volta

the dillinger escape plan

mogwai

lamb of god

slayer

mastadon

i personally think 09s line up was good. wasnt too attracted to the headliners but the 3rd stage and the republic stage nearly encouraged me to get a ticket

[rexclark]

Thing is, unlike their fellow Indie bands KOL, Arctics, Killers and Razorlight, I can almost guarantee Kasabian will know how to headline a festival and put on a great show.

[tomisnothere]

I've got to disagree I'm afraid.

I saw Kasabian on their recent arena tour and it just paled in comparison to Muse and Arctic Monkeys, two bands who I had seen recently playing at the same venue.

The trouble with Arctic Monkeys at Reading/Leeds was that they could've played the perfect festival set this year, but chose to delve into the new album which was relatively unknown at the time instead. A poor choice as far as appealing to the masses was concerned, but they definitely could've pulled it off if they wanted to - Glastonbury being an example of when they play a "traditional" festival set. However, they played a similar styled set to their Reading/Leeds performance on their arena tour and it worked - because there were less casual fans.

Muse, of course, is a bit unfair to compare to.

Kasabian played the ideal set in an arena focusing mainly on singles new and old, but there was still something lacking. They do have massive songs which would work well in a festival, but there's something about them which was missing, though I can't put my finger on it. Either way, an arena was too big for them, so I'd be worried about a festival headlining slot. They were brilliant when I saw them in an Academy in April though.

Basically - if Arctic Monkeys can play the sort of set they played at Reading/Leeds in an arena and it pulls off really well, but Kasabian play an "ideal" set and it doesn't quite pull off as well as it should, then it's a bit unnerving considering Arctic Monkeys were slated at Reading/Leeds.

I'm judging on the people I came across, not magazine reviews. Sure, loads liked it, but loads seemed to not like it too. I heard more negative opinions of them than any other band that weekend, mainly people feeling let down.

I didn't mind that they played new songs - I really enjoyed the whole set. I could see why people wouldn't though. Humbug does take a new direction, one which not everyone warmed to.

It had only legally been released for a week, was it? Not everyone downloads leaked albums, the majority of people don't download leaked albums. Not everyone is into the downloading culture. While popular, it hasn't completely taken over.

[rockinthecasbah]

I'm not so sure that it would. Modest mouse have a big cult following whereas everyone is sick of pigoen detectives and the enemy and neither's last album did very well at all.

Some negative responses along with some positive responses is not a slating though - it's just mixed reaction.

Edited November 29, 2009 by tomisnothere

[thomasowen]

Oh cmon, you're just arguing semantics now. Either way, it was the most negative response I heard that weekend for sure.
