2012 Lineup

[brettredmayne]

Can we rule out everyone on the V lineup tonight? Like is it a case of you cannot play V and R/L in any circumstance?

[edfirth]

Not at all, foos were always gonna head up reading on the 20th anniversary of the Nirvana headline. R&L always have exclusives, with foos playing their own gigs to 120k then isle of wight, t in the park amongst others they were never gonna headline.

Plus the opportunity to get a greatest hits set is better for the festival.

[kev1664]

Thing is, everyone wanted to see them last year, and then the vast majority did because of all the shows you just mentioned. Not sure why all those people (other than the die hards) would feel the need to fork out again

[Mouseboy11]

They were essentially playing a greatest hits sit last year mind!

foo fighters aint got shit on metallica

[PurpleFire]

I posted it a while back that i didnt think V would get coldplay...Is there anychance i know they do a Five night tour in 4 football stadiums from the end of May into June!

Festivals pay big money and it would be a quick buck for them and would fill a two week gap in the tour later on in the year aswell?

Sorry if ive missed somthing about this, this thread is to big and to quick!

[Mouseboy11]

People should play the Millennium Stadium, always making me travel to Wembley.

Lukaku opening the NME stage?

[JWC126]

hahaha, gotta love the chelsea player throw in, my mates were convinced Juliano Belletti was an icelandic grunge band a few years back!

[pablopablo]

Lukaku opening the NME stage?

[Hart Attack]

Everyone seems to be putting an indie NME headliner opposite the indie main stage headliners rather than a more rock-oriented alternative for the non-indie fans; any particular reason? There's usually heavier/alternative bands in those slots these days - Jane's Addiction, Pendulum, Lostprophets, Faith No More...

[PigOnAntibiotics]

Other than Bloc Party and Florence that would be a good guess and i would be happy with it (other than Bloc Party) i really can't see Bloc Party headlining, i reckon they are nailed on to be a sub but not as a headliner, maybe under someone like Linkin Park.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Not that I'm suggesting they're going to headline, but Iron Maiden's US tour ends on the 18th of Aug, perhaps something to consider?

[gazza_20]

Yeah, I can't see Bloc Party headlining because Russell Lissack has stated on twitter on numerous occasions that they aren't playing.

He isn't trolling us. Bloc Party only really troll interviewers for the hell of it, not fans over twitter.

[ArcticGorilla]

Cant believe we havent cracked it yet

[PigOnAntibiotics]

Don't take what they say on twitter bud, they never let out that they are playing. I remember everyone finding out they were playing sub again in 09 and no one knew. let's say most think it's nailed on for head or sub if they don't get announced for v tonight. if they don't played sub at v and don't at r&l, i'd be willing to bet V will take them next year over r&l as i doubt they'll play next year. if they're album get's huge, they will headline and it won't be at r&l next year, IMO.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

i'm sure it was said after 2006 they'd never play again? and why? why when your average age is 18 would you have Iron Maiden?, they don't even play greatest hits sets like most at festivals. Most likely Soni headliner next year

[gazza_20]

Not letting something out is totally different to directly stating that they aren't playing.
