2012 Lineup

[DaveElNino]

I like the idea of a System of a Down / Slipknot co-headlining thing. Get that on the Friday, Kasabian on the Saturday and Foo Fighters on the Sunday and that's a pretty decent set of headliners. Especially if you could get Biffy under Foo Fighters.

Leeds

Friday - Foo Fighters

Saturday - Kasabian

Sunday - Biffy Clyro

[pablopablo]

Don't know if this means anything but i saw adverts for Kasabian and RHCP albums around the site?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Holy shit, I came on here to post that as my prediction and you beat me to it! It follows the classic Older band (Foo's), Possibly non-deserver band (Biffy) and Crowd pleaser band (Kasabian)

Saturday - Kasabian

Sunday - Foo Fighters

They were advertising Chili's new album loads.

And the rumour mill is saying Foos and Chili's are touring together next year... chance of a co headline again? cause that would be amazing.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

According to the minutes of that mythical meeting after 2007, Chili's will never be invited back. True or not, I agree, and don't think they ever will.

Their tour's being promoted by the Soni promoters anyway...

With regards to a Foo's/Chili's co-headline, I think there's more chance of Gaddafi and Bin Laden performing Origin Of Symmetry and Paid In Full by Eric B and Rakim, back to back, all the way through.

[Englishdragon]

You think Biffy will gte offfered a headline slot next year?

[gazza_20]

Id put money on it if a bookie would give me odds on it. Makes complete sense to me.

I saw some for Miles Kane, maybe he's headlining next year??

[Dukeeyyy]

He played this year though, I was just pointing out the the posters/video thing I saw for two bands not playing but are big enough to headline (even if RHCP apparently never will again)

[micawber]

I'm hopeless at predictions, but just a few thoughts.

I hope that Kasabian don't play, because I'm very wary of the type of crowd they would be likley to attract. And probably because I've never seen them play better than they did in a strip mall club in Phoenix off the back of the first album.

If we need an oddball Saturday afternoon act then I might suggest Status Quo would fit the bill.

Somewhere on the line up I'd like to see Weezer, Manchester Orchestra, Coheed (if they're still going) and Goldfinger.

Not too fussed about Headliners, but I would like to see a real 'pro' 'oldie' band who know how to play/perform, e.g. The Cure, Depeche Mode, Neil Young, Pixies, Pearl Jam, etc

[VCK]

Not sure if Biffy could headline yet, at least with MCR they'd already had experience headlining a UK festival before, but I can definitely see them second headlining before the Foos.

[VCK]

But so have Biffy, they headlined Sonisphere this year

[Hart Attack]

How about Biffy and Paramore co-headlining?

[jump]

Ah yes, so they did.

Then it's possible, but personally I still think they'll be 2nd, although if their new album is out by March 2012 and it does well they could headline.

[Englishdragon]

So who'd be your top 2? I agree itd be a very good move for the fest to get good ticket sales, i'd like someone bigger though.

in this case.

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Kasabian

Kasier Chiefs

Foo Fighters

QOTSA

? only thing is, where do the prodigy fit in? i#m relying almost on them and bloc party being there to go back as i can probs get a foo's ticket on a suspected early year tour.

[Englishdragon]

For 2012 FR will have to make a decision before March if they are going to headline as the headliners are booked before that. I can see Biffy headlining TITP next year, they always bump Scots up in the bill.

[The Mean Bean]

How about Biffy and Paramore co-headlining?

[VCK]

Actually come to think of it I could see Biffy headlining being a realistic bet. If Arcade Fire and MCR can pull it off after so many doubters, I reckon a hugely acclaimed British act who are always popular with the R/L crowd like Biffy can.

As for Kasabian - one of the best Britih live acts going and a perfect festival band. They may attract a few pissed up meatheads but surely it won't be worse than the year Arctic Monkeys, KOL, Kaisers and The Prodigy played? They'll put on one of the performances of the weekend if they're booked for next year.

Foo Fighters

Pixies

Placebo

No Doubt

Biffy Clyro

The Prodigy

The Darkness

The Gaslight Anthem

Kasabian

Bloc Party

Death Cab For Cutie

White Lies

Can see something like that happening.

[gazza_20]

I think that reason makes it more likely they will play, Festival republic will gamble that biffys album goes huge in March. I think they will headline both festivals next year and be the "shared" act we have

[iPaulo xD]

I know its unrealistic but its something to talk about lol
