the_mars_volta Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Despite them headlining so many other festivals, does anyone else think Foo Fighters may still turn out to be headlining Reading and Leeds 2011? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 There's always the chance of the long standing rumours that they may play secrete set but no chance for headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBarbour Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Old thread I know but dont like starting new ones.. Still a big Reading/Leeds gap in the foo fighters tour dates... Would still count as English exclusives but not UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyser Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I heard they might be announced for Rock en Seine. R/L and Rock en Seine often share a headliner or two, but Foos will definitely not play R/L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbour Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Still praying MCR don't headline. Foos is my only hope of attending this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahn Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) So no hope at all then. All reading and leeds headliners are exclusive in England. The foos are booked for isle of wight, not to mention 2 mahoosive gigs at Milton keynes bowl. Edited March 2, 2011 by Bahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 is it impossible for them to sub-headline before any one of the three headliners? they wouldn't headline, but i think dave & co wouldn't mind if they wanted to play. they're definitely staying in europe mid to late august Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dave Grolh has recently said that Reading/Leeds is his favourite festival, and that it would be the perfect way to end the Euro leg of the dates to promote the new foos album ..... but he was referring to playing in 2012.

pink_triangle Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Foos are a great live band although I think grohl is very overrated as a front man. Would love then to play as long as they ignored their new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Overrated as a front man? He has character, personality, stage presence...he may not be the best singer, but he is a fantastic front man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwl89 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I would say Dave Grohl is the perfect frontman IF he didn't insist on turning Everlong into a massive ego masturbation and instead would play the full version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieParf Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I find grohl just too nice. He is just like the type of bloke you could go for a drink down the local with. Theres no mystique about grohl, he is just a nice guy. The likes of cobain and morrison were flawed genuises but it was part of the unpredictability which made them so great.

mrtourette Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Foo Fighters are at that size that they'd only ever headline, 2012 is the best we're gonna get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
