2012 Lineup

[jonnyx]

If you think back to the last Ian Brown appearance at Reading in 2009.

Fuck me! that was awful.

Why are we getting excited anyway!.

[eFestivals]

If you think back to the last Ian Brown appearance at Reading in 2009.

Fuck me! that was awful.

as was his appearance in 2000 (or was it 2001?).

He's always dreadful. I've never seen him when he hasn't been dreadful.

In whatever year that was, I spent a while asking the people who'd crowd surfed into the pit why they were going so nuts for such an awful act. The response from all of them was "yeah, I know he's awful, but it's Ian Brown maaaaan".

There's no accounting for some people.

[zahidf]

I have seen Ian brown play some bad gigs.

Saying that, his second stage headline slot at glastonbury was brilliant ( when he clashed with Jaxx) as was his V set that year.

So when he is 'on', he can be brill

[Jackmypie]

Stone roses should play a secret show in the lock up. <3

[rexclark]

R&L are better off without The Stone Roses IMO.

[gooner1990]

[gazza_20]

New thought is.

Coldplay

Mumford & Sons

Bloc Party

The Prodigy

Foo Fighters

Biffy Clyro

2nd thoughts on Kasabian. I feel Pheonix will want them to headline more than R&L will.

[gazza_20]

Someone listens to too much Scroobius Pip!!

[gazza_20]

I can't see Coldplay ever playing R&L again.

[jump]

I'm just trying to think of where they are going to play. I know they have an arena tour but I would have imagined them to tour the new stuff at a UK festival.

I don't see it really either, but I never saw Radiohead at start either.

[gazza_20]

Not every band has to play fests when they have a new album out especially when they have already done the fests circuit the year before and could now take advantage of doing their own staduim shows and even then there's still IOW & V that are far more likely than R&L.

[brfcstar]

They are but can't see them at V now. Isle of wight though yes.

[gazza_20]

I can see V's headliners being Roses and Coldplay. Think Gaga will hold out for Glastonbury before headlining anyother uk fest 1st.

[Hart Attack]

Pearl Jam

Queens Of The Stone Age

Manic Street Preachers

Iggy And The Stooges

Dizzee Rascal

MGMT

Rancid

Spent a few days on this, thought I might as well come out of 2 years of lurkdom and post it.

Possible?

If rumours are true and Pheonix festival comes back in Augaust next year, Melvin will need to pull something big out the bag or it could be another poor year for the festival, V look likely to get The Stone Roses and Pheonix will no doubt have some big names so I think if R&L has any weak headliners eg Bloc Party then it will really affect ticket sales. They need to come out all guns blazing next year as alot of people who were loyal to the festival are now looking elsewhere.

Someone mentioned on here a while back how there's some reason why they feel Kasabian won't go to R&L. I don't want them there personally, but I also don't want Jay-Z and Kanye West there.

V if Stone Roses and Coldplay is right up there, moreso than Pheonix if they got Kasabian, but not as good for your money

[harryomatic]

Having been to T 2 years in a row i'm thinking of trying Leeds in 2012. Hoping for some good acts, it always seems to have more of what I like.

I'd be very happy with seeing Foos again after T this year. Also wouldn't mind seeing Green Day, Lostprophets, Brand New, QOTSA, Biffy and Prodigy somewhere.

[JWC126]

If V can get some good Indie acts (not landfill, some actually credible bands) to go along with Stone Roses, I'd be very tempted. Been to Reading twice now and me and my mates wanna try something new. Was gonna give IOW a go, but Roses might be too good to miss out on.
