2011 Lineup

[VCK]

Looks realistic but I can't see Lostprophets and Deftones moving back up the bill.

[iPaulo xD]

Nice effort, the friday would be nice. Im pretty sure that the offspring are headlining NME though..

[MJMilz14]

MCR not even sub-headliners at Oxygen, and the Strokes and Arctic Monkeys both subs.

I know there different festivals with different crowds etc, but... why can't we have bands like that in those positions? Size-wise I mean, not nessicerily those exact bands.

Then again they do have The Script sub-headlining but they are Irish I guess which probably counts for something.

[Role Model]

Why do so many people think Offspring will headline the tent?! it's all because of that fake poster

That and the fact they are in Europe at the time. Personally I think they will be third top main stage.

Here is the edited version:

They were good at Leeds last year, although their set did feel a bit rushed.

I thought they were one of the best bands in 2009, was glad I skipped most of Radiohead to see them.

Last Train Home & Last Summer are two of my favourite festival "Anthems" if u like... and they always seem to go down well. I'm pretty sure Huw Stephens was also banging on Twitter last year how Lostprophets got one of the biggest crowds... so they may not have been the best act of the weekend, but they do seem to keep drawing the Reading and Leeds crowds.

[Andiee]

Must disagree I thought they were poor , biggest cheer was when they did a cover of Prodigy track !

As my other half said " what does that tell you ! "

And the set never really got going imo !

[kev1664]

11/30 I think, it's okay.. but could be better.

Muse and The Streets clash would be quite annoying.. and Mumford and Sons and Frank Turner. Loll.

[Cieran]

If that was the line up frank turner would probably clash with pulp mostly due to different set lengths between stages.

[Joe-]

Does that mean Crystal Castles would clash with MCR? Good class.

Make the special guests good (so I can see something other than Mumford) and I would take that lineup.

According to the youtube clip below MCR never said they were going to headline a festival at their Wembley Arena gig in february, just play some festivals in the UK, so either people within the media interpreted it as they are going headline festivals because of insider knowlege or they just misquoted the band.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Magnetic Man can't play now.

[eFestivals]

Or they said it at various other gigs.

which they did.

While I'm still not 100% that MCR are headlining, everything still very strongly suggests that they are.

But if they're not, who is? No one seems to be putting forwards any other realistic possibilities.

[Hart Attack]

Are Green Day definitely ruled out, or just probably? Still holding out hope...

Pearl Jam...

I wish

[eFestivals]

Something tells me your getting less and less sure about MCR

Nope. I'm in exactly the same place I've always been with them (and the other names I've had long rumoured here) - that they're more likely to be right than wrong. This is based on the fact that those names came to me from two different sources who both have a history of getting good info.

And recently added to the idea that the names are right is the post by Keese, who we know from his history gets good info - and he's said the same names.

on the point of realistic possibilities I think people have made tons

Green Day, Blur, Iron Maiden, 3 bands off the top of my head that could easily be headliners this year.

They might sound realistic possibilities to you, but from where I'm sat and what I've heard they seem very unlikely. The most likely of them is Maiden, but I'd class that as quite low.

[j...rox]

Kasabian have headlined T, Oxegen and V why wouldn't they be big enough for Reading, the MCR and Strokes as Sub headliner at T and Oxegen respectively suggests Kasabian are big enough and good enough.

[Joe-]

Kasabian are headlining a few festivals anyway so ruled out.
