Curveball acts?

[thetime]

I would be so chuffed if we got Bjork but yeah I see her doing Glasto and Latitude/Bestival

[rexclark]

I'd like to see The Chemical Brothers play again, that would be an excellent surprise.

[Leyser]

Michael Stipe, if you're reading this - sack V Festival off in favour of Reading and Leeds,

[SOAD]

Yes please One of the best live acts around, bigger than Blink 182 and Arcade Fire. And they're my favourite band of all time.

R.E.M. have the power to sell out outdoor gigs, that's enough credentials to be a festival headliner. Like I said, I don't think Melvin Benn would have second thoughts about putting them at the top of the bill.

[mrtourette]

she headlined one year in the bygone era, 1995. foo fighters played second stage haha.

[VCK]

Man I agree REM should still be headlining festivals... BUT do they really still sell out outdoor shows in the UK? I honestly don't remember... all I remember is on the last tour they were downgraded from Cardiff Millenium Stadium to Cardiff International Arena and still took them a while to sell that out with Editors as support..

[thetime]

They did Old Trafford as well, I'd have gone had it not been the night the Manics played Leeds.

[Leyser]

TV on the Radio would be a nice surprise. Or My Morning Jacket

[micawber]

There is pretty much no chance of this happening, hence a curveball, but it would amuse me endlessly to have Neil's favourite band - Talking Heads - reform and headline Reading.

[Role Model]

Dylan can't do it live anymore, just sayin'.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

A completely off the wall idea would be putting somebody like Slayer on the bill - any Metal band, really. Limp Bizkit were a nice surprise last year and they always get the crowd going; Korn are a bit shit nowadays.

Deftones anybody?

[Leyser]

Deftones is a possibility, and I have heard Korn mentioned on here before as well. I would like to see Mastodon there again

[Leyser]

Oh he can!

Its the voice of singing for 50 years, living and breathing music.

[lharris92]

i don't know whether i'm alone in this opinion but i think InMe should play! they have played before in 2003 i think but it would be a suprise if they did as it has been so long, and they have hardly gained mainstream popularity since then

[lharris92]

You're not alone. But I don't think Reading is really their crowd. Soni or Download usually sees them play to a packed tent. I doubt Reading would.

What about U2?

What about U2?

[pigshair123]

would love broken social scene or mew to play
