Yeah i just looked it up, i thought it was the album name.. SORREH

[Vacant0]

I wouldn't say Lana Del Rey is too big for a FR headline set, but I'd like to see her live but I'm unlikely to prioritise her over who's headlining the other stages, so in an ideal world she'd be midday NME.

[iPaulo xD]

thats okay mate, just dont do it again okay

[jonodillieono]

Despite the fact I think ATDI and Refused will both play higher, if you put QOTSA as the sub headliner that would be an absolutely insane way to end a fest.

Pumped up kicks wasn't out then..

[iPaulo xD]

I realise about 10 people have already answered this so I'm not even sure why I am (but 9 pints and a bottle of wine have convinced me too anyway) but I wanted to see them at Reading last year based on only hearing Pumped Up Kicks, so it must have been

[SOAD]

I think they might play a bit higher as well only because of their placements at other fests. I wouldn't think they would be that popular with your average R+L goer though so I'm not sure whether melvin would take a risk and put them as third down or above.

Refused are screaming lock up stage headliners but from where else they're playing it seems they'll play much much higher than that.

You what?

[SpecialAgentKit]

is it just me whos buzzing for the foo fighters?

[lharris92]

no, but it also depends on how many people have seen them in their recent tour

[Tubson]

Refused are a soni exclusive why are they still being rumoured?

[lharris92]

[Vieuphoria]

it still says on the website that it is "their only UK show". Which is odd because I swear it had been changed to "first UK show". It does however not specify a timeframe at all... "only UK show"... when? Ever? or at the moment?

[lharris92]

yeah, soni are full of crap by the looks of it. sure it was mentioned about 40-50 pages ago..

[LibertinesFanBoy]

How likely are White Lies given that they havent been announced for V (which I expected them to be)?

[mrtourette]

Ax7 are boyband metal.

[mrtourette]

I think Lana Del Rey is way too big for the FR tent and putting her in there would be seriously unsafe. Foster The People and Ed Sheeran are reasonable comaprisons but the difference is that they were building in momentum when they were booked/played while she has intense hype now. They both packed the tent and wouldn't headline it now, and the fact that Lana Del Rey isn't expected to make many live appearances between now and the festival would mean that interest in her would br far too much for that small tent.

[eFestivals]

Maybe they still haven't booked a third headliner...

that I know isn't right.

[mrtourette]

The V line-up is piss-poor, although as rightly pointed out it's for their market and will probably sell out. It's interesting that while R&L has to deal with less reliance on heavy rock/metal bands year by year V is racing even faster towards to pop end of the scale and there's more seperation between V and R&L every year.

I only expected to see Ben Howard, The Ting Tings and The Enemy at R&L, obviously acts like The Stone Roses, The Killers, Ed Sheeran and Frank Turner could cross over they were always more likely to play V this year.

As predicted the most interesting thing are the omissions of Florence andjust in case FR got the itch to go down that awful route.

[thetime]

Will know more when rock en seine gets announced shortly(before r&l), especially if placebo get announced or not.

[mrtourette]

I hope to God they play Rock En Seine. If they do R&L I can see them being this year's Interpol, and that isn't a good thing.
