Third Sub-Headliner

[Cieran]

I think there will be a band no one has thought of subbing. Faithless maybe??

No chance of happening, but REM would be good (albeit a bit backwards with them subbing MCR).

[jump]

It's only Dave that thinks Mumford will headline, and they aren't even in the poll to sub.

[luckysalt]

I'm not sure when the 30STM ball started rolling, I think people are just trying to match up a similar band as they headliner (MCR). I don't think there's been any leaks or proof, just an idea that's gained a lot of momentum.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I hope latitude dont have a birlliant lineup because I would have to go and the wife wouldnt be happy with me swanning of to 3 fests in july.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

30STM are playing loads of fests in Europe around Reading and Leeds, and they aren't playing Download, Soni looks very unlikely and they aren't playing V. Can't see them touring Europe for months and not doing a UK fest.

[SamSheppard]

Anyone think paramore could do a bloc party and sub-headline 2 years in a row? will have a very similar fan base to MCR.

[Tigerdragon]

Only in Reading and Leeds pay absolutely no attention to

1) how well bands perform

2) The forums

I have a feeling the MCR sub will be fairly strong, and possibly not as similar to MCR as people would think (30 stm and Paramore have been suggested)

[Leyser]

Agreed, looking back at the headliners who have been fairly small in the last couple years they usually have a big sub.

Arcade Fire

Libertines

Razorlight

Kings of Leon

Pixies

Killers

To name some recent ones

Latitude was our second choice for a long time but we won't be going there this year because my girlfriend's graduation is that week, although we don't know an exact date yet so it could be possible.

In all fairness, hype surrounding Latitude for this year has been more or less dead - I haven't heard a peep from anybody really - no rumours of bands - and anything I have heard has made me doubt the general 'feel' of the place anyway. The impression I get from the place is that it's a mixed bag of w*nkers - middle class toff 'lads on tour' types, an influx of a new audience of chavs, and kids who have been dropped off at the gate and left to run riot for their first weekend away from mummy and daddy.

The impression I get of the place is that it's getting much, much worse as a festival.

[rexclark]

Bound to be something shite.

[RichieParf]

Are we making the false assumption that Elbow are subbing to Muse? They're on unknown day on the rumours. They could be subbing to MCR, it would make some of these possibilities look less 'backward'than if they were below MCR.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Is it possible that festivals have always been like this but that you are merely no longer part of the young-middle-class-running-riot generation?

Glastonbury dave, glastonbury .

[kev1664]

It won't be 30STM.

A few comments from what I have read. Firstly rem are way too big to be sub headliners and have probably sold more records than the rumoured three headliners combined. Secondly elbow are a band who play arenas, they are certain to sub, dont agree with the dizee comparison as elbow are a more traditional indie band that caters more for the fanbase. Thirdly korn would be a good addition but not for subs. I cant really see why they would play higher than limp bizkit did last year.

[Stagsfan11]

I had a dream that Scissor Sisters were, so there we go, Scissor Sisters will be the third sub-headliner

Im not sure korn are bigger than limp bizkit. Both are way past their commercial peak in the uk, however when limp bizkit were at their peak in the late 90s they were huge. Im not sure what the bands relative single and album sales are over here, but would suspect your average festival goer could name more songs by durst and co.
