2012 Lineup

[benc16]

Avenged Sevenfold have said they will be doing festivals next year, although I see them probably going back to Soni (Rev's last show) or maybe even headlining Download at a push, I still think they can sub at R+L. Thoughts?

[allan14]

i have a feeling biffy wont headline, just coz everyone seams to accept them as a headliner , i want them to headline but it seams to good to be true to have everyone accept the "headliner making the step up" straight away

on another note i love the fact that A7X and placebo have been mentioned

Wombats would headline the NME nevermind play 3rd and I doubt they'd have two of the same subs as 09.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I can't see Wombats being big enough to headline NME. They subbed in 08 and were bigger then than they are down, they played 5th down on Glasto's other stage this year.

Would be a sad sight to see the Manics play 4th down but then again, that's sadly how it goes nowadays. Damon and Liam on the same day?

[The Mean Bean]

Does anybody think there's any chance of Hole getting a slot? 3rd or 4th on main stage maybe?

[VCK]

Beady Eyes above though? Why the f**k are they going to get any bigger?!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Because they're Liam Gallagher's band. If The Raconteurs could get 3rd the other year then I don't think it would be unrealistic for Beady Eye to at some point.

Oh yeah, I think The Vaccines would be higher as well.

[VCK]

Beady Eye's album got to 3, which isn't too bad.

Although in honesty I'd prefer Noel to play, or even just have an Oasis reunion.

[mrtourette]

I don't think Beady Eye will play next year, if they are doing festivals then they'll probably do V instead to cover both bases rather than sticking to one festival for two years on the spin. Also their booking to headline the tent was understandable but a bit of a stretch, they've already used the Liam Gallagher factor to get that slot and unless they release another record quickfire that continues their (limited) popularity I doubt they'd get to third on the line-up.

Unless it's a full reunion (unlikely) with a new record (unlikely) I doubt Hole would get booked anywhere near third, if at all.

[sam4palace]

That makes no sense, you think they can't headline because people see them as headliners?

[El4d]

Melvin says one headliners booked and the other's nearly booked, GOT to be foos already booked, they've been around so much recently and that conversation must have happened, definitely them! The second I reckon is Kasabian but who knows! http://www.nme.com/nme-video/reading-and-leeds-boss-melvin-benn---muse-were-awesome/1133191405001

[lharris92]

foos will most likely be booked if thats the case.. the other two lets hope there's a suprise in there!

[jonnyisRFC]

Bruce Springsteen

Pearl Jam

Smashing Pumpkins

Gaslight Anthem

Less Than Jake

Bouncing Souls

If they book one of those six bands I will be one happy chappy, anyone think any of them are likely ?

Edited September 1, 2011 by jonnyisRFC

[harderfaster]

I'd say it will be Noal that plays probably, in main stage slot that Ian Brown got other year possibly. Beady Eye probably to V. R+L have had the Liam factor now

[blue4life]

I think Blur can be ruled out http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3778611/Damons-time-for-1st-solo-Albarn.html

Lets just hope "Most" means having a weekend of at the end of August

[blue4life]

Don't honestly think its going to happen, not next year. I'd be surprised if top 6 were anything other than bloc party, biffy, kasabian, mumford, foo's and the prodigy
