if everyone is so sure its fatm which i hope it isnt, how come she hasnt been put on rumours page ?

[purplehaze81]

Didn't Bjork headline at some point in the 90's?

[eFestivals]

btw neil who can you rule out as 3rd headliners or close to rule out. SOAD/Linkin Park/Green Day?

Green Day I can - in theory - rule out completely. I have info which says they're next in the UK for an arena tour in Sept, and that info should be solid.

However ... I have info from another source which says they're headlining. While that other source has good reason to know who the headliners are it's actually often the case that people like him actually don't.

I'm going on the basis that the first thing I say there is 100% right and the 2nd source isn't right - but it's not impossible that I'm wrong to do that. Unlikely, but not impossible.

The others I have no info on.

Its not been snobby, Brian Mays a money grabbing prick, fact !

the rumours pages get populated on the basis of actual info and not a deduction made from other bits and pieces which could turn out to be entirely wrong.

[YumYum]

Yeah I get that, but I don't see how getting together for one song in a dingy California club affects whether it would happen when they headline R&L.

You said they wont cover Nirvana, i was just showing you it'd happened before. Also as its the 20 year anniversary of when Nirvana headlined, and a member of Nirvana is headlining, at his confessed favourite festival i'm sure he'd commemorate it one way or another

I run the risk of being a hopeful Green Day fan, but the arena tour doesn't necessarily rule out a fest as well does it? Makes it less likely certainly, but it's not entirely unheard if for a band to do both. Unless the info is that they're not doing a fest as a result, in which case I happily withdraw my enquiry.

[mrtourette]

Yeah, while other bands have done it the festival and potential tour being so close to each other would mean more of an effect each others sales. Touring a couple of months later in November wouldn't have made it so unlikely.

[eFestivals]

So is there a likely time when Green Day's Uk Arena Tour will be announced if it is?

yep, there's a likely time for that arena tour to be announced if it's going to be announced.

I just don't happen to know when that likely time is.

[pat carney]

Didn't they confirmed they weren't doing any UK Festivals?

the info I've had about an arena tour defo rules out a festival appearance - on the basis that they're not playing in the UK until that arena tour (cos that was the info I had).

Me saying that is of course based on the presumption that that info is correct. As I've said, I have the possibility in my mind that it's not, but I defo strongly lean towards it being right.

[ashrichards]

Surely if flomo is announced as a headliner she would headline the saturday at reading and kasabian will be on friday. Still don't think she will headline. well i hope not :/

[Vieuphoria]

Jack White announced for Rock Wertcher.

Got to be at Reading surely?

[Yellow_Fellow]

I really don't see Flo headlining. She isn't big enough.

[mb23]

Reading Facebook page said about 45 minutes ago:

ONLY TWO WEEKS TO GO UNTIL TICKETS GO ON SALE AND WE ANNOUNCE THOSE HEADLINERS!

Does that mean we're only going to get the headliners and no-one else?

[TYLER_4]

[Tubson]

I'll throw van halen into the mix, rumoured heavily for sonisphere and download, and are touring (long shot i know). florence would be a horrendous headliner would make the mcr booking look good...

This is on NME:

"The Black Keys released their seventh studio album 'El Camino' in December last year. Auerbach recently revealed that he and drummer Patrick Carney will be playing UK festivals this summer, but couldn't reveal which ones as they were "top secret", and also hinted that they had already begun planning the follow-up to their last LP."

Must mean R/L- Great band, can't wait!
