2011 Lineup

[rexclark]

I would f**king love that line up.

Sadly no chance though. Not enough NME pish on it.

At least we can properly rule out KoL now that IOW is their only major festival appearance.

Would love that line up. MBV and Pulp seem a bit low down though.

I think it'll be strange linkin park only playing reading & leeds when there still on their tour of a thousand suns, with the exclusivity. Unless they'd play t in the park and oxegen. But would t and oxegen have both linkin park and blink 182?

Saying that they may just come to Europe for the late festivals punklepop, rock en siene etc.

[jump]

Kasabien can be ruled out now, so 2 (other being Foo's) of the early predicted headliners are gone now.

[Role Model]

Yeah pretty chuffed that the Kas bullet has been dodged probably.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Yep, I think both could be on the cards for 2012 both will have had new albums out for at least a year, and sooner or later reading and leeds will book kasabian. What do you lot reckon of that then?

[kev1664]

Kasabian are a bit of a meh... band for me. With them it's a case of 'Don't believe the hype'. I like Club Foot but otherwise everything else is just a BBC advert; it's the same with Florence + The Machine. I watched her set last year at Glastonbury and heard her version of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' and thought, "she's only doing that so the BBC can use it for Formula 1 - c**ts"

I couldn't give a monkeys if Kasabian were playing or not to be honest. They're trying too hard. It's as if they're sneakily going into record shops with an itinerary of every record John Peel ever liked and mixing them all together with the hopes of being taken seriously by people that run the Mercury Prize, scared shitless in case they get found out and can't name The Fall's first single live on Radio 1.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Kasabian are a band that make me think, "meeeeeyyyhmmmmmmnnnnnoooooyeeeeaaaahmaaaayyybeeeeyyeeeeahhhh they're a bit.... mmmmmmnyeeeeahhh..."

What I don't like about Kasabian the most is how the NME or Radio 1 look to them as the saviours of modern music when otherwise the rest of the musical world is mundane as hell, then thrusts them in front of me and waves them around like a severed head telling me that I should notice them or face the risk of being uncool. It makes me resent them. It's like how - if somebody corners you in the shopping centre and asks you to sign up to LoveFilm.com - just f**k off.
