[surfwaves]

anyone that can be named a "UK festival headliner exclusive" but is playing other festivals lower down

[mrtourette]

None of the headliners this year were labelled as UK festival exclusives.

emeimen

mumford and sons

bloc party

that would be horrible but would sort out reading and leeds cool tag again

[Spud001]

If Foo Fighters are booked then that'll be brilliant for me. Saw them for the first time on Sunday at Milton Keynes Bowl and was absolutely blown away! Foo Fighters aren't my favourite band at all but that was the joint best gig I've ever been to. They even got out Butch Vig on stage as well as performing with Bob Mould, Seasick Steve and John Paul Jones. If they played Reading next year and played half as good as on Sunday I'd still love it!

I don't think it's a case of being a Glastonbury band, Muse suit R&L and Coldplay don't regardless of whatever other festivals they do. And yeah, Chase & Status headlining the tent is probably a realistic shout.

[huntyyy]

I don't think Avenged would do anything less than sub/headline a tent. Would be utter mayhem in a tent.

Also, Would You me at six not be higher up? Their new album is just going to push them higher up that lineup. I'd even go as far to say they may be big enough to headline the tent, much as i hate to admit it.

Primal scream look too low to me?

Isnt that the same position Gaslight anthem played last year?

I can't see Feeder headlining the tent, Or all time low even existing next year given their last album...

[Spud001]

ah i saw them on the saturday, was a decent gig but we had the biggest pr*cks ever next to us so it sorta ruined it. he brought out alice cooper which was immense.

would be a solid booking, however it would be the same circumstances as muse this year, where they have played everywhere and would be uninspired in that sense (even though they would play a solid set)

[lharris92]

Ah yeah I've heard that the Saturday was pretty rough in terms of the people :/ and yeah I agree that it would be uninspired and predictable but I think that FR will bring a better Foo Fighter's experience than other festivals if that makes sense? As in they got less than an hour and a half at IOW, which doesn't give them time to perform to there best. Also Biffy were superb on Sunday! Loving the new song

[mrtourette]

Pretty realistic (if a bit predictable), I'd normally say that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Vampire Weekend would be too big for the tent but I think the size of it is increasing this year so may be possible. I'd also say QOTSA are unlikely to sub three years out of six.

Just an idea but does anyone think that Tim Minchin could possibly play a bigger stage in the future? Sonisphere have Bill Bailey headlining their second stage this year, and i'm sure mr Minchin would find a fair amount of appeal with the R+L crowd

[petewilson09]

my prediction;

foo fighters

QOTSA

tenacious d

Bloc Party

kanye west

Mumford and sons

Blur

kasabian

vampire weekend

NME

Morrissey

Yeah yeah yeahs

dance headliner???

[Banana Co]

Chase & Status could headline NME there. Kanye West is pretty huge, would he do anything other than headline? Same goes for Kasabian. However; I'd like to think that next year will be big and we could have headliner sized acts subbing with somebody bigger headlining.
