I agree with that point completly, I loved Blink182 last year and the build up and the type of bands that played underneath were all suited. From Limp Bizkit upwards was brilliant, Weezer Paramore and Blink182 to top it off.

Same for G'N'R, Biffy and QOTSA, but who on earth would suit MCR? Good Charlote? It would be such a depessing day. They would need to have some good bands undernath to even make the main stage sound medioca anyways!

Who would Sub and be on the same day?

I just really regret not going to Reading '04... 50 Cent looks like he get annihilated on the youtube videos.

MCR definitely got bottled when they played after Fightstar but I think most ammo was wasted the set before on Charlie.

Id put 30STM under Muse everyday of the week, would be a great end to the day.

Maybe bands like You Me At Six, All Time Low, Lostprophets(Again?!), Sum 41, Billy Talent, House Of Pain!, Good Charlotte?

I could see those been tossed into the mix but thats very similar to last year! I mean its far easyier to find bands thats support The Strokes in there type of genre. Vampire Weekend, The View, Libertines (I missed out last year, I went for CC and Enter and then stayed for Pendulum because im quite the fan lol).

that would be you me @ 6, lostprphets and billy talents 3rd year in a row tho...House of pain would go down well tho in limp bizkits slot from last year .. i could see pendulum playing on the mcr day maybi 3rd down

Exactly, there dosent seem to be any flow if MCR headline! It would all just be a mix match of bands from all genres which means moving about a lot if you a festival goer. Leeds try and put acts that fit well together. Aracde Fire day last year had a very very indie sound to it all day except Dizzee Rascal who was god dam awful and i left after three songs!

He was f**king sick! Good history with R+L too could make him a potential headliner in the future. Reading was the best out of his Glasto & Bestival sets. There were mosh pits cropping up past the mixing desk. Although I was severely hammered so judgement may be skewed.

I dunno, I think it detracts from a day if there's a 'flow' of bands that suit each other. If you don't like that music then it pretty much takes a whole stage out for a whole day. If the main stage was something like MCR, 30STM, Lost Prophets, Good Charlotte, You Me @ 6 and All Time Low I'd be as far away as possible. I think festivals should mix it up a bit.

He's already headlined Global Gathering & Beach Break Live... plus subbed Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. But yeh probably V.

Offspring will need a new album out & be good to get anywhere near subbing these days. Could even see them headlining Lock Up but might be too big (feel free to disagree with me on that, but I can "imagine" them playing in that sweaty tent at night).

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
