Alot of talk about Headliners

[matt93]

The headlines make a festival good...... the other bands make it amazing

What are the chances of some of these..... and put our own

Feeder - Mid Main, High NME....... or even FR Headliner(Ash did it)

Editors - Mid Main, High NME

Sum 41 - Low Main, Low NME, FR Headliner

Black Keys - Mid Main

Airbourne - Low Main, Low MME

30STM - High Main

Dinosaur Pile Up - Low NME, Mid FR

Bowling For Soup - Main + Lock up double show

Wolfmother - High Main

What do you lot think!?!?

Black keys would be fun. In terms of where they would be playing I am awful for predicting.

Speaking of Americans, I believe Wilco is putting out a record sometime soon, hitting the studio this month... thoughts?

Black Keys would be in so nicely about where Gaslight anthem were this year.

I think Offspring subbing is very likely, reckon JEW or death cab will also sub or 3rd.

[Leyser]

what an awesome album brothers is? absolute monster.

[John92]

Feeder would be good, they arent as big as they were anymore, so they would probably be quite low down on the main stage.

Everyone was expecting 30STM this year, so maybe next year???

Also, id like to see (both a bit old, but oh well)...

manic street preachers (subbing)

James (unlikely, i know, but would love to see them play live)

[mrtourette]

Garbage are rumoured to have a new album and tour next year.

[Welshyyy]

i can see..

Dead by april - Really low NME/Lockup/Main i actually don't know.. maybe they could be like Young guns?

Bombay bicycle club are said to be returning

Good Charlotte..?

Jimmy eat world will probably be back, with Brand New Subbing, or close to where-ever Jimmy eat world play..

I Think MCR will be booked, and Killswitch engage, both playing somewhere on mainstage

and Jacks Mannequinn for FR stage or something?

Bring me the Horizon?

Personally i'd love for Rise against to come back, but they played in 2009.. i can always wish?

also sum41..

can't think of many more

Not a chance for both of them unfortunately.

I did have doubts wether to put SSSC down but they did a few Festivals this year. But The Specials? Thought they'd be in quite a few rumour lists. Unless i've missed something.

I want The Black Angels back. They were, put simply, the best band at the whole festival in August.

If we can't have The Black Angels then I'd appreciate Spiritualized or a reformed Spacemen 3, and most definitely Swans. My ears still hurt after their show in Manchester on Saturday. Then on top of that a lovely set from My Bloody Valentine, perhaps Sonic Youth, some Jesus and Mary Chain...

Anything that involves large volumes of face metling noise and feedback.

[Vieuphoria]

I want Warpaint back. NME Stage..... These were the true best band of the weekend.

[sm93]

For me, personally, the smaller bands made the festival. I loved seeing Arcade Fire, Guns N Roses and what I could of Limp Bizkit but I enjoyed more of my time in the smaller tents listening to smaller, lesser known bands. I got better photographs (and so better memories), I got close to a lot of great bands, the music and setting was a lot more intimate so I took more from it and it spoke more to me, and for the most part I took heart knowing that a lot of the people I saw the bands with in the smaller tents were making an effort to see the smaller bands because they were interested in the music rather than popular culture.

Who the headliners are in 2011 (and beyond) makes no difference to me, really, because the chances are I won't get close enough to see the f**kers anyway - and if I do, I won't enjoy seeing them because there'll be a crowd of a thousand other c**ts behind me making my life at the front a misery. I didn't experience that in the smaller tents so in future, that's probably where I'll end up spending most of my time...

...much in the same way I'll probably either stay in Leeds city centre at a hotel or in the farthest corner of Brown. The further you get away from popular culture and people who enjoy popular culture, the better your festival experience.
