Every cloud has a silver lining

[VCK]

With the apparent headliners seemingly weak - Although they all deserve it collectively it's just not cutting it - does anyone else think this might make way for acts with expansive back catalogues to get a place further down the Main Stage bill, rather than just the usual one hit wonders reaping their fifteen minutes, some of which may be quite pricey? Acts such as:

Manics

The Flaming Lips

The Offspring

Soundgarden

Happy Mondays

The Specials

Primal Scream

Super Furry Animals

Weezer

Jane's Addiction

Morrissey

Belle & Sebastian

Bright Eyes

Death Cab For Cutie

Reef

Suede

No Doubt

Rancid

NOFX

The past three years has seen MF/FR capture some really coup-ish headliners in RHCP, Pumpkins, RATM, Metallica and Radiohead but the downside is that the Main Stage has, save one or two bands, mainly been bands who had only recently found success. So maybe with My Chemical Romance, Arcade Fire and Blink 182 all headlining this might give Melvin and co. a chance to get a number of acts that could really add some "meat" to the line-up.

What do you guys think?

I bloody hope so! Biffy, Offspring, Weezer, Lostprophets, Feeder, Idlewild, Jimmy eat world and Incubus all underneath would be lovely.

I think there will be, but I wouldn't like to predict who. Rancid would be amazing, I can see weezer and the offspring. Flaming lips are headlining green man but people would love that.

Well I just booked tickets to Isle of Wight so this is the first year in 4 I won't be going to Leeds for the weekend.

[Role Model]

just throw Pavement somewhere onto the line-up and all will be forgiven

[micawber]

Throw in as well:

Primus

Carter USM

Dinosaur Jr

Sonic Youth (every year, eh?)

Silverchair

Silversun Pickups

and we can stop worrying about the headliners
