[SoLoCo]

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

[gazza_20]

Am I the only who thinks Kasabian would be a bad booking for RnL? Don't get me wrong, they are not a bad band. I just could't imagine them playing a headline slot. I could be wrong though.

[The Mean Bean]

I think Kasabian are kind of boring, just generic shouty indie really. I've seen them live, there's nothing bad about them, but they'd make a pretty shit headliner, they have no wow factor. I'm not really big on the Foos (actually I think they're shouty and generic too), but I don't doubt their ability to put on a show. I think MB would have to be thick to not get Bloc Party if they're available, they're just a brilliant act, and they've more than earned their R&L stripes.

[lharris92]

thing is everyone knows it'll pretty much be 2 out of kasabian, biffy clyro and bloc party and one of those will sub most likely anyway

[jump]

Oh they will, peoplehave been wanting R+L to book them for ages, they wouldn't play below a headline slot, many wuld imagine they're arena tour will sell out very very quick 2mora and its the only UK Fest they haven't headlined yet with a new album, much like we knew it'd be Arctics at V this year, bet they're regretting that booking cuz they were shite apparantly

[JohnsonWHU]

I think the only acts to tempt me back next year would be Daft Punk or Chemical Brothers.

[jump]

I think he means because it's too obvious.

I don't think they will headline because they played 3rd in 2010 and haven't done anything since.

[mrtourette]

Kasabian are a headline status band, they may not be the most imaginative booking but I don't see how their credentials can be objectively questioned.

If anyone would like to do a line-up poster but isn't brill with photoshop or whatever I'm making one and thought you might like to use my template

Enjoy, my line-up to follow.

[JID]

Bloc party would sub if they played I'd imagine. Hope they do too

[Rudzkii]

There we go, got a little bored so I just started throwing bands in & Alexisonfire comeback set.

Combination of prediction and want. Preparing to be flamed haha!

EDIT: There is a strong rumour that the special guests could be either QOTSA (With Mr Grohl drumming) or TCV (I haven't decided yet )

I bet my life that Dave Grohl will never drum with Queens again. The dude they have now is a f**king machine.

[gazza_20]

tbh i would rather see them take a risk or two considering there is no glasto next year.

besides they don't have the imagination or the guts to do that...

[gazza_20]

Kasabian haven't headlined Glasto, Bestival and the metal festivals.

i still question SOAD as headliner at Reading and Leeds, although am in favour of it.
