2012 Lineup

[pat carney]

so you must know pretty much all the subs and third down then?

while I've no info at all on whether New Order are playing R/L, I do have other info about them which suggests to me that if they are playing R/L they're unlikely to be near the top of the bill - if they were I'd expect them to not be available to other fests.

Neil, just out of interest.....do you pretty much know the lineup poster by now...bands and positions?

[RichieSpenno]

This is getting good now

why all the secrecy?

Blink 182 have just announced a 20th anniversary UK tour this summer-getting interesting now!

Some of the support acts are interesting, Blink rumoured for Sonisphere if I remember right though, All American Rejects though???

It depresses me that I bought Awesome as F**k for £13 yesterday in HMV and I saw an advert for it £4.99 on play.com Have HMV jacked their prices up for Green Day? All their albums were quite expensive.

[eFestivals]

Aren't they headlining Bestival though?

Yep, and I know they're on offer to other fests too.

Which all leads me to believe they're probably not doing R/L - but that's merely presumption.

Neil, just out of interest.....do you pretty much know the lineup poster by now...bands and positions?

Nope. I know a couple of acts that are playing that I've said nothing at all about, because I can't use the info I know.

While it's frustrating that I can't use that info, it does help me identify fake posters as fakes.

[sirignano]

ha, on the official leeds website they've got the date down as 12/05/12 but when you click it it says march.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Can already see the answer, but why can't you use the info?

[Hawky]

I hope New Order Play opening the stage and play 2 songs: The England one Ft John Barnes and Blue Monday which is an incredible song.

[Vieuphoria]

Is that your entire knowledge of New Order?

[Hawky]

No i also like: True Faith, 1963. Basically all of their greatest hits album (It's the only one ive got, well my mums it )

[JID]

What's the thinking behind tickets on sale at exact same time as line up announcement? Surely later that week would be better

[evilduck]

Panic buying I imagine? If the lineup is released as soon as the tickets go on sale, you only have a few brief minutes to glance at it and decide if you want to go. If you had a week, you may mull it over and decide to go elsewhere.

it's what they've been doing for years. Presumably they don't see any rerason to change it.

Really gutted about Editors not playing festivals this year. Im really worried about this years lineup. From the rumours, there really isnt a lot that I want to see, and Ive already bought my ticket . Just banking on the Killers headlining now.
