Festival Republic Stage

[rockinthecasbah]

The National to headline, they have a big gap in their tour dates http://www.americanmary.com/tour.php

The Antlers also have a big gap, would be epic http://antlersmusic.com/tour/

Frightened Rabbit my third choice hopefully will also play http://www.myspace.com/frightenedrabbit

Keeping my fingers crossed lots and lots. If I ask for it enough then who knows, they might play.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The National, Hadouken and Kids in Glass Houses I reckon for headliners.

[MrG]

A little late to the sonic youth praise part of this thread, but i thought that Sonic Youth would be sure-fire headliners after they released the eternal... damn you festival republic!

Honestly, my very best dreams involve seeing them play the diamond sea in its full 25 minute format live...even if that is just a dream

And given their recent reform and such, any chance of Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Or will the fact that they are curating ATP scupper that?

[Nathan113]

The fact that barely anyone at Reading cares for them scuppers that.

[j...rox]

Looking at those National dates, I think you could be right. Headlining Friday or Sunday and I'll be there. I've assumed Frightened Rabbit would play for a while now, could get slotted in mid NME on Saturday or Sunday, or top 3 on FR stage. In fact, I'll keep my fingers crossed for these being the top two on Sunday.

[Bradders]

They'd probably stick them in around 4th top like they did Belle and Sebastian in 06. It just disgusts me that someone like Sonic youth would probably get a medium sized crowd.

[ALLHALLOWS]

The National would be perfect for Reading Sunday assuming I don't like the dance headliner. Not sure how popular they would be, however I can't think of a better way to close the festival.

The National on sunday night would be fantastic, any other night though and I'll be gutted.

[wilf_hall]

Any ideas when it's likely to be announced?

[Vieuphoria]

Headliner guess...

Laura Marling

Marina & The Diamonds

Ash (even though i still swear they are far too big)

[j...rox]

I'm going for The National, Ash and Marina and The Diamonds.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

They'd probably get a decent sized crowd full of confused/bored-looking people who've read their name on that Goo tour t-shirt and think they should like them... Talked to a guy wearing one of those once who couldn't name a single song or anything at all about them. Bit like what happened with RATM.

[jackthebassist]

I reckon Freebass will play it.

[ellsbells11]

Im hoping the xx will play but it looks like they're doing gigs in other countries around when leeds is on.

[JaggySnake92]

Am I the only one with the small ray of hope that Julian Casablancas will play?

[EFC Forever]

Still got that hope over here too.

[james backway]

But yeah,

Bloody Beetroots, Empire of the Sun and the xx

PLEASE

with darwin deez and blood red shoes slotted in somewhere

[Electricityscape]

Hoping for:

The XX

Juliano

BBC

That really would make my festival.

[1karim]

I reckon Ellie Goulding, Plan B and Julian Casablancas to headline..what do you reckon?

[mrtourette]

Plan B's at V so no chance there.
