2012 Lineup

Originally wasnt the word I meant. I just meant it used to be called reading rock. But you only need to look at past lineups to see that with a few exceptions its not a rap festival, and to have a rap act as a headliner would be inappropriate.

I have no doubt that Kanye/Jay Z would be amazing, I would really love to see it, but I imagine it'd attract quite a few dickheads. Most of the people on my facebook who are updating about it are the shit-for-brains neds who I haven't seen since school (and assumed were in jail), they'd be a pain in the arse around the campsite.

Expanding your demographics is a load of bollocks. All it means is your booking a lineup for people who arent going to come to your festival.

[Yellow_Fellow]

How many festivals have you sold out now, LibertinesFanBoy? Because you apparently have years worth of festival booking expertise...

[TYLER_4]

so can anyone see it being Rammstein now? ive got my fingers crossed personally

[LibertinesFanBoy]

How many have you sold out? Thats a poor arguement.

Ill tell you who have sold out festivals though R/L, consistantly, without having to 'expand their demographics' someone said they NEED to expand their demographics. They dont need to do anything. There is no problem that needs fixing as they keep selling out. And up until last year they did it very quickly. And I think the only reason they didnt sell out until late last year was because the lineup was pretty weak. I think theres a place for rap music, in fact i think theres a place for any genre of music at leeds. But headlining the main stage isnt it.

no chance Rammstein will headline

It's not a poor argument because i'm not making such an insane statement.

They don't expand their demographics? Are you high? Are you literally baked off your nut right now?

[TYLER_4]

[AcademicPistol]

where are the big new rock acts now?

[mooseman]

Exactly, they exist but they are not big because a large percentage of the population like there music generic and artificial.

[mooseman]

Well they havent really. Every year most bands on the lineup have played the festival before. Its not even a rarity to recycle old headliners. And they dont have a problem selling tickets. If they announced this year that the lineup was going to be exactly the same as the 2008 lineup Im sure theyd still have no trouble selling tickets. The only changes that have really happened recently in the lineups are that due to download and sonisphere theyve lost a lot of their heavier stuff. But theres still some there, and its only been replaced by indie and pop punk bands which were there already. Nothing as drastic as booking loads of rap.

[Role Model]

The people who say Hip-Hop will bring in dickheads need to remember Kasabian are headlining. I'll say no more.

[Yellow_Fellow]

RATM - The Killers - Metallica

1 YEAR LATER!

Kings Of Leon - Arctic Monkeys - Radiohead.

You tell me they don't vary their lineups heavily?
