2012 Lineup

[edfirth]

Jay-Z & Kanye are much bigger than Linkin Park. Especially Jay.

[thetime]

When was the last women to headline reading? Was it bjork?

[gazza_20]

All Time Low/Temper Trap/Metronomy weren't really meant to be that high I just couldn't be bothered fitting more bands in

I think they could have The Maccabees as a sly sub headliner though. They've been bigged up in NME a lot recently. I think Noah could JUST pull 4th down off too

[edfirth]

The Maccabees have already confirmed at a gig they are headlining NME one night, same time they told them they were 3rd down NME at T in the Park.

Some of these rumours are awful, Bloc Party and Florence co headlining, i like Florence but Bloc Party headlining just doesn't do it for me at all, i would much rather see someone like Linkin Park, Greenday or System of a Down headlining, but that is just my personal opinion, but if Bloc Party are headlining for me the lineup would be worse than last year in comparison:

Muse and Foo Fighters are pretty equal as are Kasabian and Pulp/The Strokes

Bloc Party for me are worse than MCR, but like i say that is my personal opinion

[edfirth]

My prediction was far from what I want/hope, I just have a defeatist's attitude towards the line up these days

[Yellow_Fellow]

Bloc Party aren't playing.

System would be brilliant but I can't see them AND Foos playing

[gazza_20]

Bloc Party aren't playing.

Any chance that it could be The Libertines? Babyshambles have been touring without Pete, and haven't heard anything from Carl Barat in ages. They proved they can be reliable in 2010, maybe they've been given a shot.

[luckysalt]

Looking at V fests lineup, I feel sorry for people going. Like sure they've got some good artists but seriously! keep people like Nicki Minaj, Olly Murs and Ed Sheeran to R1BW and T4 on the beach.

[Yellow_Fellow]

People that are saying they will be shouldn't but I do think there is a strong chance. Know one has any great evidence of it though and them confirming to fans that they are not is where Bloc Party usually do the opposite, they have a degree in lying.

[thetime]

Florence won't be headlining. But in answer to your question...

Technically it was Ginger Pooley from The Smashing Pumpkins. The I guess Meg White. Then Shirley Manson. Then it would have been Bjork and D'arcy Wretzky in the same yeah

I am laughing at some of the comments on here over the last couple of days 2 being

"Kasabian are a weak headliner" they were voted best UK band last year. Number 1 albums, some great songs. Some very narrow minded people in these forums.

And...

the twitter discussion and how Bloc Party like to "Troll" interviewers.

Come on guys.. If a member of a band replies to a comment on twitter normally tells the truth. If they were playing they wouldn't reply. He has even confirmed about 5 times they arent playing. I bet they are at V subbing the Killers. Plus tweeting him is not an interview.

[cwaite123]

Florence could still not be at RnL, she could headline Bestival under an english fest exclusive!

[gazza_20]

Take all the hard evidence to show that they will be playing. Quotes, etc.

Now, do the same with them not playing.

Do you see what I see?

[Vieuphoria]

solo singers was bjork then.

florence wont headline

bloc party wont headline

trying to convince yourself?

[Mouseboy11]

Haha my brother works in music publishing and can get tickets to pretty much anything, was saying V festival is piss to get them for as no one from management wants to go haha

[Yellow_Fellow]

They have announced euro shows not that far away from R&L, new album.

Them saying they are NOT playing means f all, as I said before, say it again, say it a million times over, THEY LIE, better than anyone. It it not just trolling interviews to NME they do, they generally do it. They are one band that efests didnt pick up at least for the last time they were playing, and that's nothing bad towards efests, they are just very tight lipped.

But I'm going to leave that there and not comment anymore as so many will agree, and so many won't.

So for myself and others alike to others and others alike, we'll agree to disagree and wait till the 12th and whatever be, fairplay.
