To be honest, I doubt the majority of reading/leeds fans have heard of gray, so dont think that will make much of a difference. I personally think slipknot are more likely to move down the lineup than up.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Not a chance in hell of them going down the line up. Last time they played they were 4th (depending on the site that year) and booked 3rd last time and since then they gone on to be headliners of the 2 major rock/metal fests in the UK. They'd be subs at least.

I'm not sure R.E.M would even play R+L anymore, and I can't see Green Day and Linkin Park in the same weekend.

What's the feedback?

[Banana Co]

Can't see Editors & Fall Out Boy subbing & can't see Kooks & MGMT playing let alone be NME headliners.

[jump]

If Fall Out Boy played, where do you think they would be positioned.

[Banana Co]

Main stage 5th-3rd is most likely, probably stay 4th as they have been forgotten since they last played along with most emo bands but maybe their reunion would keep them there imo.

[jump]

But look at this year we have TSTM subbing and IMO third would have been a fine position. I suppose I just thought that because of a reunion they would be high up.

[mrtourette]

What's the feedback?

[Banana Co]

The Kooks aren't big enough to headline the tent (The Wombats probably are though) and I would be surprised to see them at R&L again. Weezer are too big to headline the tent and I doubt they'd be back round to R&L so soon. Feeder and Fall Out Boy too high, although they haven't been at R&L for a while and that may peak some interest they'd need something to make them appeal to current youngsters to play that high (that's why 30STM can sub; Pulp can sub without being current as they were way bigger than Fall Out Boy). I'd be surprised if Foos and Green Day played the same year. Biffy and Editors subbing looks pretty realistic if they have new material out but I'd expect Bloc Party to be subbing somewhere as well. Foos and Kasabian headlining would make me very happy.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this. When they were at their peak The Kooks were bigger than The Wombats are now but I don't think there's any interest nowadays in The Kooks from the majority of people who attend R&L. V or Glasto maybe, but not R&L. The Wombats are far more current so I think they'd be higher. If The Kooks did play R&L again I'd put them at fifth on the main stage max, but that's a very big if.

The Kooks are like Stereophonics; they aren't suited to the R&L demographic enough to get a high slot without a decent current profile or exposure. They will at other festivals and other bands will get high slots at R&L without new material because they're still relevant or are still an attraction to enough R&L-goers, but The Kooks ain't one of them.

[kev1664]

The kooks are on par with the futureheads or the pigeon detectives I would say. Futureheads played second from bottom last year and the pigeon detectives are playing there this year.

[harderfaster]

The Kooks are like Stereophonics;

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

The Kooks are no where near as big as they used to be. The Wombats meanwhile have stayed in the public eye, carried on promoting, and have a new record out.

Gaslight Anthem shouldn't be third. Noah and the whale back again in the NME isn't likely. If Mumford clashed with Gorillaz of be so angry.
