I think thats the only reason people are thinking 30stm are going to play, because they are the only band "suited" to play under MCR, but R&L have never really gone by the book (50 cent before green day) and I think we could be in for a shock.

yeah i doubt mumford will sub. unless of course pulp don't play. reading can't have three lighter subs, especially considering one of them will have to sub to MCR. i'm not saying MCR are the heaviest band in the world but it would look pretty strange having mcr playing after any of elbow, pulp and mcr. unfortunately i think it will be 30stm, but you never know... if pulp don't ply then i guess mumford could take their spot before strokes, could be very interesting.

Maybe Bullet For My Valentine?

Somewhat similar to My Chemical Romance, established arena band, they're heavy which is needed for the possible line up, not played in ages and Download & R&L both have had bands that have played mainstage before.

Why are so many people thinking it's gonna be 30STM as they fit with MCR but so much denial about MCR headlining? I don't care who it is as long as it's not 30STM, MCR I get but don't like but 30STM just plain piss me off.

Any chance for Placebo?

Placebo? Good shout. They would do nicely.

How about the Manics? I reckon they have quite a broad appeal and could fit in on any day. But the question is could they still command a sub headliner spot?

Manics are at V and I doubt would command the spot. Placebo as far as I know aren't really around by I stranger things have happened.

Lets get Avenged Sevenfold down. Mostly same reasoning as Bullet plus have been booked before but had to pull out.

I suggested placebo a while back but under muse. I'd like it to be Placebo, yet I think it will be 30STM. After seeing 30STM live there is no way they deserve to be in that slot, I hate it when singers give the mic out to the crowd to sing along, andJL does it every song. OK on record apaling live.

I'm reaching again and going to say Jane's Addiction?

Not played any english fests since their 2nd reunion, got an album coming out soon, are playing other fests and would give some crediblity if MCR & 30STM are playing the same day.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
