2012 Lineup

[PurpleFire]

Listen to Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Disintergration.

[TeddyPicker]

Not a big fan of The Cure, but Reading and Leeds have definitely got the best 3 headliners I've seen this year! (IMO)

[edfirth]

guessing The Cure crowd will be the smallest of the 3 headliners

[TheBoz]

The Cure it is then?

Meh, I would have preferred Green Day or Blur but I'll probably end up seeing them depending on the headliners of the other stages

[edfirth]

Will Do My freind!

[jonodillieono]

That will entirely depend on the day they play. In my experience the Sunday headliner at either site gets a big crowd. I couldn't believe Pulp's crowd at Leeds last year

[Tolnai Soma]

shit so far... kasabian should not headline. they're quite good,but not enough to take the headliner place. I love The Cure,but I'm going to see them in Werchter. Foo Fighters has been the only band so far,I'm looking for. Where can I sell my ticket?

[PurpleFire]

My favourite track of theirs is A Forest, which they always play live. No idea if it's your type of thing, though

[chriseede]

There was nothing on the NME stage as an alternative, Janes Addiction pulled out so everybody got to see Pulp play the best set of the weekend.

[Voliton]

It's important to remember that, assuming FATM lead into The Cure (I think this is likely, given the style of music), there's going to be A LOT of people there to see FATM. A significant number will stay to watch The Cure, as well as other people who have come specifically to see them. They might not get the biggest crowd of the weekend, but I bet they'll be happier if their watched by people who actually like their music.

[LibertinesFanBoy]

They need a very good NME headliner because The Cure would be woeful at Leeds....I belive we have another MCR moment on our hands and it will fail!

They had an opertunity to get some of the best bands and have the best line-up at this year due to no Glastonbury and really pushed to have the best of the best!

We ended up with a washed up 80's band who 80% of the crowd were not around to see them at there prime and 30 years later there just has beens looking for there last pay checks!

There was nothing on the NME stage as an alternative, Janes Addiction pulled out so everybody just went and seen Pulp for the sake of it.

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Maybe i will be swayed if i listen because i never have!

[dclarke12]

I am personally very happy with the cure (although would've preferred blur/green day) and I just sent a text to the group of about 20 that I go to Leeds with letting them know... so far 12 have replied - 6 said 'i'm happy with that', 1 said 'that's amazing', 3 said 'that's ok', 1 said 'not bad but will probably go somewhere else that night' and 1said 'i'm going to kill myself'

[festivalfollower123]

I'm so chuffed that the Cure are headlining, best news I've had for ages, I'd buy a ticket 5 times over if necessary, thankfully it isn't

[bobbykol]

so fucking happy about The Cure actually headlining, think it'll be an epic closer to Leeds (assuming they headline the Sunday at Leeds)

Hope there is some good clash so everyone is satisfied, but this booking is so good

[ComeCloser]

Can people verify if any of these have a chance or no chance? I think most have a good chance, but just checking!

The Black Keys

Mona

The Gaslight Anthem

Soundgarden

Vampire Weekend

Bon Iver

White Lies

Warpaint

Cheers.
