2012 Lineup

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

So? Metallica are THE biggest metal band in the world, yet in 2005 they still subbed to Rolling Stones.

[gazza_20]

I agree that SOAD can sub at R+L. In tems of otherf metal bands, Metallica are much bigger. Download/Soni is directly SOAD crowd.

IMO, if SOAD played under Tallica in 03, they can sub someone bigger now. If R+L was their comeback gig then yes headlining they could've done. I think they'll need to record and release new material before they annouce a show anywhere else.

They're one of the biggest metal/crossover bands of the last decade. They're massive, and considering the amount they'd cost, I highly highly doubt they'd be anywhere but headline.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Answer my question.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Can you not understand how completely irrelevant that is?

[mrtourette]

What the f**k have the Rolling Stones got to do with R&L?

magical thing right, it's called google

[Banana Co]

X is bigger than Y, but still subbed to Z.

X = Metallica/SOAD

Y = other metal bands

Z = Rolling Stones/any other band bigger than SOAD

not irrelevant

[gazza_20]

Agree with the second and third sentences, the issue is whether they can find (and afford) someone bigger than SOAD for them to play under (especially if SOAD are asking for headline-type money).

[Banana Co]

I don't think that's 'going all out'.

You only have to look at past years glasto hasn't been on to realise reading will not go all out.

[gazza_20]

I think this could happen;

Green Day - Maybe, like Linkin Park, I feel it hasn't happened for a reason again. Bloc are nailed I think.

Slipknot - Will not happen anytime soon I doubt, defo not with Corey Taylor, he's said as much.

Avenged Sevenfold - Maybe

Kasabian - Yes

Flaming Lips - No, no indication ata ll from how the fest has goen that these wil play.

Editors - Yes, but I put them 4th so a bigger band could go higher

Foo Fighters - Yes

Chemical Brothers - When does this ever happen? I can't remember it ever happening.

Biffy Clyro - Would surely play 2nd now?!, Headlined Soni, yes different crowd but actually more a R+L band so likely based on that to play higher at R+L than that.

[Banana Co]

It was more about going all out.

[mrtourette]

Biffy would sub and I doubt the Chems would play unless it was dark. Foos - Biffy - Placebo could happen.

Basically if you make a prediction that goes all out it's going to be unrealistic.

Crap lineup for me personally. Very unrealistic I also think. I think my lineup is much more realistic and bigger

Edited July 15, 2011 by thesecretingredientiscrime

[gazza_20]

Yours is very much realistic, but it isn't bigger. BananaCo's is much bigger, but I highly doubt Green Day, Slipknot, Flaming Lips or Chemical Brothers will play.

I don't agree on the isn't bigger. I think its bigger in terms of R+L. I was going all out by keeping it realistic which is kinda the point.

[VCK]

I think SOAD would headline, if they played of course. There's the argument that they never did headline R&L at their peak, but neither did RATM or Blink 182, and they both headlined on the back of the hype surrounding their reunions. Although in the case of SOAD it's more a comeback than a reunion as they never really split, there's still been a lot of publicity and hype surrounding it. They'd draw a huge crowd and if their performances this summer are anything to go by they'll put on a good show. I think they'd headline anyway.

yes they did 1996, which was there prime. What a great lineup it was aswel!

[gazza_20]

I thought The Prodigy headlined that year and RATM subbed, although some website say the reverse. Was a good line-up, I agree, although if only Squire and Reni hadn't left the Roses...

As for SOAD - there's a chance they won't be touring next year, but if they are and they get booked for R&L I can only see them headlining.
