The Killers

[TomDB]

The Killers today announced their triumphant return. They play the Lollapalooza festival at the beginning of August and traditionally many acts that play that often fly over to play the festivals in Europe at the end of August, including Reading & Leeds. The band last played in 2008 so it meets the organisers' wishes not to have headliners return until at least 3 years after their slot. They would live up to the exclusive and staggering comments by Melvin Benn this week and could leave us with a Muse // The Killers // The Strokes headlining bill, very modern Reading & Leeds friendly. Just to show, in 2009 Kings of Leon played Lollapalooza and played Reading & Leeds that year as did Rise Against, Arctic Monkeys, White Lies, Kaiser Chiefs and loads more so it happens often

Too soon. Deftones, YeahYeahYeahs, Janes Addiction, Kanye, Fatboy Slim and Armin Va Buuren though!

If it ends up being Muse/The Strokes/The Killers I will be exstreamly dissapointed.

This years RnL is my first and I would be destroyed after watching 5 years of great headliners on BBC coverage to then have RnL turn into this.

More chance having Joe1990 plaing an Oasis medley on his own banjo string. Main Stage of course.

The Strokes/Muse/The Killers

..

As much as I actually really like each band, that would be an awful year for the festival. Bit of diversity, even if it's in the form of MCR, needed.

Always seen Lollapalooza as the American cousin of Reading and Leeds, similar sort of line-up and all that.

However, can't see The Killers coming back this year.

On a side note, hope to have Sublime (With Rome) booked.

I thought the policy was not having headliners return within five years, not three?

[John92]

Foo fighters headlined in 2002 and 2005... So that suggests it's 3...

[sm93]

I'd say it's definitely possible but I can't see it happening this year, maybe next after their new album is out.

Killers would be a better headliner than MCR but I'd be surprised.
