2012 Lineup

[Mouseboy11]

One Direction to headline? They'd shift some tickets.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I think the thing about Refused is that they are a UK fest exclusive for Soni but the band are considering doing some of their own shows so Soni changed their story a bit... just a guess.

I really hope that 3rd headliner turns out to be someone that nobody (or at least not many people) thought of. Honestly, with all the rumour talk being so uninspired, I'd love it to be an absolute curevball and someone truly unpredictable. I will be truly disapointed if we end up with someone like Bloc Party, Mumford and Sons or Florence as 3rd headliner.

Oh and Florence headlining would be terrible, she's a human bagpipe. I still think it will be Linkin Park.

[zahidf]

there's risks, and then there's stupidity.

Melvin didn't have a good year last year. Not only did he preside over two festivals that struggled to sell (and which has led on to one of those being cancelled this year), he didn't handle it well on a personal level either from what's been fed back to me.

The more I think about it, the more and more sense screaming Flo makes for R/L this year. He's placated the regulars with Foos, he's gone for something safe enough while being new to R/L with Kasabian, so getting a hugely popular act like Flo makes sense to me on all sorts of levels (especially when some R/L regulars will be drawn to V as they have the Roses) because it ensures sales and helps expose his festival to those who might have shied away from it previously.

[paulomas]

i've always thought it would be her as a second headliner, so i'm happy to believe that what you said is true. mumford and sons would be a pretty lame sub headliner after only having 1 album.

Kasabian

Florence and the Machine

Mumford and Sons

Kaiser Chiefs

makes it a little bit more exciting, rather than

Kasabian

Mumford and Sons

Kaiser Chiefs

which to me looks dull.

....and then make it

Kasabian

Florence and the Machine

Mumford and Sons

Kaiser Chiefs

Bombay Bicycle Club

The Vaccines

and you've got a pretty strong Saturday main stage that will appeal massively to the 15-18 year olds

Fatm will not headline as they are playing 4th from the top at T. Razorlight were one of the smallest headliners R&L have ever had and they at least subbed at T in the same year (2007)

[gazza_20]

I have heard from a few people that Flo was offered second from top under Kasabian. No idea if that's true or not, just a couple of people i was talking to at a party who work with her management.

This was a couple of weeks ago though, she may have been bumped to headliner or something since!

[TYLER_4]

i cant see it being FATM doesnt really fit 'the ultimate headliners' box, IMO

[Yellow_Fellow]

Stop using 'Ultimate headliners' as evidence, it doesn't mean ANYTHING.

Kasabian

FATM

Kaiser Chiefs

Foo Fighters

Black Keys

Tenacious D

and then the third mystery day

[rug568]

Flo can fuck off. If she does play it entirely depends on NME or lock up whether i get a ticket. Saw Foos last year and have no interest in Kasabian. Better have some decent other acts.

Going with my girlfriend so it entirely depends on the line up.

[Mouseboy11]

I think the fact we don't know the third headliner is what makes it beautiful.

[rug568]

Also 'ultimate headliners' means nothing. It's a marketing technique. He's hardly going to say they're shit.

[Andrinald]

Surely FATM aren't big enough to healdine? Sub - yes.

Neil, I believe you ruled out Flo a couple weeks ago, no? Why the change in info? I thought your evidence was reliable?

[Mouseboy11]

True, if it is Florence I won't need a ticket. I can hear her screeching from Wales!

[Yellow_Fellow]

I really want to say the third day is going to look like;

Green Day

No Doubt

At The Drive-In

That would be excellent.

[Dom123]

no she's not. he's subbin snow patrol

[TYLER_4]

[thetime]

Tinie Tempah is subbing snow patrol. http://en.wikipedia....n_the_Park_2012

[Yellow_Fellow]

that would be alright indeed, but i dont think ATDI will get 3rd from top. love them though.

[gazza_20]

[TYLER_4]

They're doing quite well at other fests. I mean, The National got the same spot last year.

[thetime]

at the drive in would loose something on a open stage, would prefer to see them in a tent!
