2012 Lineup

[VCK]

Is this suggested as Elbow for headliners?

[chickenfire]

Maybe in 2013, Even though Elbow were brilliant this year they would need to get a pretty successful album out quickly to warrant headlining next year.

[VCK]

Yeah, I meant that I can see Elbow headlining in 2013.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Just like it would be if they booked The Strokes to headline with Pulp subbi - oh wait, hang on.

[Hart Attack]

Four years, it was 2008. Also that was just a headliner/sub combo, not headliner/headliner.

Main Stage

Green Day / SOAD / Pendulum / Machine Head

Kasabian/ Bloc Party / Florence & The Machine / Vampire Weekend

Foo Fighters / Soundgarden / Biffy Clyro / Alice In Chains

NME/RADIO 1

Stereophonics / Mumford and Sons

Beastie Boys / No Doubt

Bullet for my Valentine / Chase & Status (live)

I was trying to fit in Pixies and Dizzee Rascal but i just couldn't manage it.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Beastie Boys too big for NME, as are No Doubt to sub. Can't see Stereophonics play NME, and Mumford are too big to sub.

Don't think Green Day and SOAD will play, or Foo Fighters and Soundgarden.

Pendulum have gone on hiatus, and I don't think Machine Head will play.

[Rudzkii]

Good evening boys and girls - Got bored with my poster and wanted to see what you had to offer! Made up a nice little PSD/tutorial to get you started with your posters; http://www.rudzkii.com/content/create-your-own-leeds-reading-festival-poster

Regarding Machine Head as much as I'd love to see them play I think they're more of a Download band.

As far as I know Machine Head have never played R&L. I fine it more strange that Korn have never played.

[gazza_20]

Yeah, I can see them headlining a major festival in the near future, they could "do an Arcade Fire".

Blur

Mumford and Sons

Kaiser Chiefs

Foo Fighters

Biffy Clyro

Garbage

Kasabian

Bloc Party

Noel Gallacher

Highly doubtfull but we can but hope.

Albarn is doing own solo stuff, I reckon this rules them out. Not sure about Garbage but wouldn't mind either way. Noal 4th, not 3rd

[Dukeeyyy]

Here is my guess, thought Public Enemy could have a chance at headlining the Lockup, or maybe they are too big/wrong genre wasn't too sure, just thought they could be quite good in the tent.

[thetime]

Next years Line up should be one of the better ones due to Glastonbury not being on so I reckon all other festivals should have better line ups than usual

[rexclark]

Big Melvin has already said that there being no Glasto won't affect R&L. I can't see it being a stronger line up but it will be slightly harder to get tickets.

Don't think Motorhead would play. Don't think Anti Flag would play main.

The Cribs are bigger than Razorlight, and arguably too big to headline NME.

Justice are too big to headline Dance.

Not sure Tinie Tempah would play on that day.

Foals don't play outside.

Noel Gallagher wouldn't headline against Kasabian.

I'd argue Sonic Boom Six are too big to play that low on Lock Up.

Don't think Dropkick Murphys would play in that slot.

Public Enemy aren't the right genre for Lock Up and are too big anyway.

[gazza_20]

can't see green day or system playing next year if at all again. green day will be at t i'd say before they return if it happened to reading and then i think it'd be a own stadium tour/arena tour instead. t like to rotate they're headliners, green day have been around and even they haven't had them play instead of own shows

[Rudzkii]

I was thinking of pulling Green Day but I'm struggling to think of a band that would fit well on that day with as big a pedigree. I've swapped Deadmau5 for Skrillex now and re-arranged the lockup.

Not posting the image as it's huge but here's a link to it; http://www.rudzkii.c...ages/poster.jpg

P.S am I the only one who thinks my sponsors and ticket resellers are better than the ones in place now

guys, i'm gonna be honest. bloc party will headline next year.

they've been on hiatus since 2009, (that s 3 years next years for any trolls)

very big popular Indi band with plenty of chart success and album sales

Nme, being a main sponsor and promoter of the festival are also very keen on them, they will also give a lot of coverage to the new album, boosting sales.

Bare in mind this band got anyway with sub-headling two years in a row, coz they're that popular.
