2012 Lineup

[jump]

im really struggling to see who its going to be. they just hinted (kind of, not really) on facebook that the 3rd headliner is a rock act not indie. hmm

I'm putting 100,000 on it being Green Day.

[Vieuphoria]

i don't have pounds.... You take up my bet you can decide a sweet product.

[allan14]

Well they said ok to someone moaning that they want a legendary rock headliner, means nothing if Kasabian are one of then.

I'm still suspicious of Linkin Park only announcing the 1 euro date but I'm going to get excited over nothing by R&L announcing the line up the 1st Monday after Rammstein finish their Euro tour.

[YumYum]

im starting to think it'll be Aerosmith, they are a rock act, and a pretty legendary one at that. Plus there new album is due out just before the festival http://www.musicrada...-douglas-491809 http://www.guitarworld.com/steven-tyler-says-new-aerosmith-album-likely-due-march-2012

Pendulum Dj set = Knife Party?

What booker/promoter would try & put Noel on at the same time as the Roses? It makes no sense what so ever.

I think it will probably end up being Bloc Party. Currently no UK dates. If V don't announce them I think it is a definite.

[jump]

Well, massive generalization here, but the crowd for Noel/Roses would contain quite a high percentage of "lad type". By putting them on at the same time, it splits that number.

I think they'll play but they don't have to headline. They could, shouldn't, probably a sub

[edfirth]

Disagree. I think they are far bigger than MCR or even the strokes. They also have the reformation factor and they suit the audience completely.

[rug568]

They're not bigger than either of those bands. I have no idea where you've got that idea from. I'd get some stats to prove it but you're so far off I think you should. I'd like to see comparison albums sales, singles sales or tour venue sizes that prove you right. Or even a festival bill with Bloc Party above either in the year before they split up

[edfirth]

That isn't a representation of sales at all. What were the sales? Chart position fluctuates based on who else has an album out

They have the reformation factor, but it's not like they've been away that long. Radiohead have gone longer than that between albums.

Not saying they won't headline, but they shouldn't. They're up and down live too. Seen them like six times and half were great, half average

[chriseede]

Angles peaked at no. 3

[jump]

I don't think reformations are as key as people make out, you only have to look at Darkness & Soundgarden who have both headlined big Uk fests before and see they are not headlining this year. I'd say it's more about the act than anything else.

[allan14]

Im not a fan off Bloc Party but they have subbed a few times and are a big hit with the RnL crowd, face it if they play they would defently headline. Even if they didnt take a break for a couple of years i think they only needed one more album (which sold fairly well) to jump up to headline status anyway

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Bloc Party have a new album out this year though. I think Bloc Party are just about big enough to headline. Theyve subbed twice before so I think they could take the step up to headliner if they play this year. Dont get me wrong I dont really want them as headliners, but they are big enough to do so.

[edfirth]

A big hit? Rubbish. Every time they get announced every moans that they always play
