2012 Lineup

[mrtourette]

Yeah I doubt that would happen.

[5co77ie]

We were talking about the line-up yesterday - and thought with Nirvana's 20th Anniversary of them playing Reading happening next year - how about a Dave Grohl day? - Foo Fighters, QOTSA, NiN, Tenacious D, Them Crooked Vultures (if anyone could play in two or more bands in one day it would be Grohl), Killing joke, Eddie Wedder, Cage the Elephant, etc. with a Probot finale.

Add Wings and Prodigy and you might be on to something, or perhaps just on something

[rug568]

Would that even be legal?

[harderfaster]

No it wouldn't.

For all the other possible uses such as wedding or business, why would anybody want to come to reading on the bank holiday for any reason other than the festival?

Saw this guys, heavily hints towards Download having Soundgarden at not at R&L. They are also now removed from Soni as even a R. The way is see it is, regardless of AC saying they are a headline band here, if they can play a position that would be in terms of sub to Metallica at the bigger RAR they can sub at Download. Sabbath would be the obvious choice.

I'd still only really care about Sunday dependng but:

The Prodigy

QOTSA

Metallica

Evanescence

Black Sabbath

Soundgdarden

Very strong set of bands. Motley Crue 3rd on Sabbath day would make that huge.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Metal Hammer don't actually know anything though. Beez was on last year making random guesses.

What do you reckon the chances are of seeing the following at R&L next year?

Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Dropkick Muprhys, Less Than Jake, Nero, Angels and Airwaves & Chase and Status

You mean you finally believe what people have been saying for days about Soundgarden? Also why are you making DL predictions in this forum?

I reckon both Good Charlotte and Sum 41 would take a nice 6th mainstage slot or so. Both have absolutely nothing new worth bringing to the crowd but a good few numbers that the crowd wouldn't mind singing/barking along to?

I for one would quite like to see KoRn at Reading this year, could tie in with Skrillex also making an appearance?

[JIM-182]

It'd be an insult if Sum 41 or GC played that low imo. Although they won't, Sum 41 could easily play 3rd, they have more than enough quality material and are really popular still. They had a new record out this year too,even if they havent had a lot of attention the past few years. Good Charlotte could and should play 4th imo, for the same reasons as Sum 41. I don't see how The Offspring could deserve to play 3rd any more than either of these. Now KoRn would be awesome! They're easily able to play 3rd/sub and their new dubstep material is freakin' amazing. I'm hoping for a heavier headliner next year, preferably SOAD.

Absolutely no chance in hell they'd play Good Charlotte or Sum 41 would play anywhere above 6th. Even at their peak they wouldn't have played 3rd and they they'd only be a nostalgia act. The Offspring have sold around 35 million albums if im right, as well as being a huge influence on the genre. Korn would be great though, couldn't sub at R+L but 3rd/4th would be very nice, similar slot to Deftones.

[JIM-182]

you're right about the new KoRn album,it is absolutely awesome.i love the fact that most of the reviews sounded like they were desperate for the album to be shite but had to give it credit after listening to it and most gave it 7 or 8 out of 10 which is quite an achievement considering they were intending to give it 1 or 2 ,ha ha.

to be fair to Korn, theyve been slagged off by everyone for years and no-one seems to admit to liking them but when i've been to see them live the crowd is insane.they drew a huge crowd on the second stage in download this year and the crowd went mental.my mate was near the front and he said he tried to get out after 20 mins as he was f**ked but he had to fight his way through 'moshpit after moshpit' to get out.
