2012 Lineup

[Bisque]

I like Dizzee but he needs to take a break.

[Banana Co]

Not without any new material, and that's unlikely.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

GnR, Blink, Libertines, Pulp, Muse, just a few of many.

[Banana Co]

All legends slots or reformed bands.

(so haven't played material in a while = people want to see them/demand).

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Even so they did not have new music. Just proving a point.

[Banana Co]

What point?

Edit- if you mean Slipknot... they are neither legends or a reformed band.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Slipknot are shit, I know, but I'm just saying that you don't have to have new music to play a festival.

All I said was you don't need new music to play a festival. Why is everyone getting crazy about it. You can have reforms and legends that don't have new music which proves my point about not having new music. Muse new record... tell me about that.

Resistance was 2009, they might still be touring it but it's not new. It's the NEWEST.

[harderfaster]

Name one headliner who hasn't had new material out or was a reformation?

2011: Muse, The Strokes, MCR (all new records)

2010: Blink (reformation) Guns And Roses, Arcade Fire (new records)

2009: Kings Of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead (new records)

2008: Rage (Reformation) The Killers, Metallica (new records)

2007: Razorlight, Chili's, Pumpkins (new records)

2006: Franz, Muse, Pearl Jam (new records)

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

radiohead (in rainbows had been out for 2 years...)

[therefused]

yeah, they are, i guess touring the album, but its not exactly a new record. someone like the sex pistols could headline, and theyve had one album that was released over 30 years ago.

[pink_triangle]

And Slipknot doing post-Gray shows is big enough,

They didn't tour Resistance at Glasto/ TITP last year?

It was a greatest hits set.

[ArcadeMonkeys]

[JWC126]

I'm with thesecretingredientiscrime on this one, but Muse aren't really touring Resistance at R+L are they. It's an OOS anniversary set.

[mrtourette]

I guess the argument is that they're still riding the wave of exposure from that release/tour and therefore don't need a new release to raise their profile and be 'relevant' enough to headline.

[MJMilz14]

Jesus... sorry but this argument is just plain boring.
