[Joe-]

So you put Van Halen could headline Reading these days and tell me in another thread to ignore complete bullshit, re-read your own thoughts 1st.

[gazza_20]

Wow, you're getting way too worked up over this.

Having an opinion is a bit different to going around saying Van Halen will headline because I've just spoken to a 'friend'. Don't you think?

[Joe-]

Yeah, I do think that they could headline. If it was a fact I would have said "They're headlining".

Unless, my opinions become instant facts? In that case, I think that Pearl Jam, REM and White stripes could headline. *zing* yayyyyyy can't wait to see them in 2011.

[RichieParf]

Its a veyr very minor point, but I don't think Bowling for soup would play the lockup, I can't think of anybody similarly pop-punky who's played it, tends to be the harder or skankier side of punk, though I stand to be proven wrong if anyone can provide a counter-example.

[scottt]

Rancid wont play in the lock up either, and Frank Turner is bigger than FR stage surely?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Frank Turner is bigger than FR stage surely?

[Electricityscape]

Deadmau5 - Some where high up on NME.

Wolfgang Gartner - Headlining the Dance Tent?

Two acts who are constantly touring.

[OKB]

Plain White T's & New Found Glory probably some other shit too but that's all I think of off the top of my head.

paramore have played lockup

[gazza_20]

Final prediction until january from me is:

Green Day

MCR

30 Seconds to Mars

Strokes

Pixies

Suede

Blur

Flaming Lips

Offspring

[gazza_20]

Ill explain in the other thread. I agree MCR will most likely headline but the Green Day rumour never goes away.

[gazza_20]
