Reading Festival 2011

[lharris92]

I think slipknot look doubtful now.

[Vieuphoria]

Is it? Just stick the same mask on a different guy and you still have the gimmick of like 9 people in masks playing average music.

[RichieParf]

Presumably Green Day will be rumoured at some point, would be a shame for me to avoid the getting my hopes up only to end up having them dashed. Its become something of a tradition for me now!

[pink_triangle]

you are also going to reopen the debate on Soad being headliners or subheadliners. for me they would have to headline as they would easily get that position at festivals such as soni and download (why would they take r&l subheadliner if they know they could be top of the bill elsewhere)

[XrtVra]

They may have subbed while they were active (stress MAY, but in my opinion wouldnt have), but if they play, they will headline since they are coming off hiatus

[j...rox]

Think it will be:

Linkin Park

Jay-Z

Muse

Biffy Clyro

Foo Fighters

Interpol

Would be pretty damn good.

[j...rox]

Would be fairly solid I guess but personally I don't think it has any 'wow' factor

Linkin Park don't really have a huge amount of relevance these days, Jay-Z would be good but nothing inspirational

Muse just seem too much of a safe bet and headline festivals constantly

Also really hope Biffy don't become the new Bloc Party with repetitive booking

Foo Fighters would be pretty good, but again not very imaginative, and I doubt Interpol would be that high, they were 3rd a few years ago (07?) and i haven't really seen any evidence of them getting more popular

Personally I'd love to see all the bands but it'd just be such a characterless line-up

[lharris92]

Foos well they're nailed on in my opinion.

[james backway]

Is there ANY chance of the Cure playing in the next couple of years?

The Cure are fantatsic, superb live, and their last album was really really good. So much better than anything they've released in a good 15 years or so.

[adustlandfairytale]

Pending on their next album i really do think Vampire Weekend could be headlining Festivals when their next albums comes out.

2011, Muse will definitely be headlining

[pink_triangle]

I love the first vampire weekend album, it was full of summery sing along hit but the last one never gre on me. As for muse, they are good live but i think they are overexposed on the festival circuit they will never beat playing in the rain and overshadowing the foo fighters in 2002 I think, one of the best festival performances i have seen.

[cheeseisamazing]

Friday: My Chemical Romance/Kesabian/Bloc Party (if get new album out, but unlikly)/

Them Crooked Vultures (atualy think are likly, if the 2nd album is as succesful and the massive demand for them would allow them to headline, rember stokes headlined after just one album in 2002 and linkin park and franz after 2 in 2003 & 2006 respectivly

Saturday: Foo Fighters/greenday/Muse

Sunday: Pixes/Iron Maiden/Ratm

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Nobody's mentioning Soundgarden...

*shakes head*

[swordfish]

I can't see many smaller bands getting big in the next few years

Maybe Biffy, The cribs as they are working with Marr, Hate to say it but Florence is going to be massive last year she played 4th on the nme if she was playing this year she would be headlining the nme or playing like 3rd on mainstage with one album give her two more albums she will be massive Can't stand her though)

[XrtVra]

Itll probably be all the ones they couldnt get this year/couldnt fit on the bill

Soundgarden, Green Day, Strokes/Muse
