2012 Lineup

[kev1664]

From Soundgarden, for me bad motor finger is the best album.

From Nirvana, Bleah is the best.

[harderfaster]

I predicted Garbage to headline Latitude a few months back, to me it seemed more likely. I would love for them to be at Reading this year though.

[kaosmark2]

Haven't got much knowledge on these grunge bands - song recommendations? Something to get me started

[Vieuphoria]

Also... get into Riot Grrrl. Some cool bands in that movement.

That would be good - wouldn't be surprised if they'd prefer to headline smaller fests than play half way down on the major ones. It's not like they're at a stage where they'd be hoping to reach a new audience by playing the biggies...

[MEGABOWL]

I get a feeling the Foos, Soundgarden, Tenacious D isn't likely to come off due to the two special guests/download bands. I think it's gonna be Foos then Garbage and Tenacious D (or Tenacious D and Garbage) taking sub and third.

Reason behind my thinking is Garbage have no UK festival dates announced yet. Garbage drummer Butch Vig was the producer of Nirvana's Nevermind and produced Foos Wasting Light as well as the two new tracks on their greatest hits, Grohl obviously has a lot of time for him (and the band Garbage generally) and I think they'd take a fairly high spot due to their comeback factor.

[MEGABOWL]

Yeah they've tried to reunite several times I believe but his drug issues were so bad. I'd really recommend reading the NME article. An actually good piece of journalism by the NME

[Vieuphoria]

You were right to recommend it, it's a fantastic article. I was quite moved by the 'I just wanted to say I'm having a really great time' bit into the writers dictaphone.

[rivalschools.price]

In Utero beats it as well as all those.

I reckon Louder than Love is better than Superunknown. Badmotorfinger is probably the best though.

[pablopablo]

I saw Sleigh Bells last night, I pray to fuck they're on the line-up up somewhere, anywhere, probably NME but FR would be even better. They would rip that shit up.

[kaosmark2]

yeah,some good stuff out there.we want grunge back/

which album was 'full on kevins mom' on.not their best song but i loved it for some reason.

also,i forgot about temple of the dog.that album is close to flawless.

[ArcticDan]

Manchester? It was fucking awesome.

Cool to think someone else of here was there..

[Eager_Eyes]

Been out all day, just got back have I missed anything interesting?

[Diva Sam]

if crystal castles play the same day as the cure, surely a collab on 'i'm not in love'?

[MEGABOWL]

I know right... it's so sweet.

I know they aren't a band who are going to set the world on fire anymore but I really want it to work out for him/them. Plus they were a really decent band.

[Vieuphoria]

Exactly, I'm tempted to pre-order

[gazza_20]

i am doubting the black keys as subs though people, if flo can play 2nd, they can play 3rd easily. as said flo and keys both fit well under kasabian so i'm going for that.

[Gravyshambles]

Word in the nme is that pete doherty wants to get back with babyshambles. Reunion factor could lead to high main stage slot? Headline NME?

Florence and the Machine

The Black Keys

Bloc Party

Dizzee Rascal

[Gravyshambles]

Reunion factor? Really? They've only been gone a couple of years!

[Mouseboy11]

Blink were a slightly bigger band than the Babyshambles were or ever will be.

[dclarke12]

A couple of years got Blink to headline!

[Andy0808 v3.0]

the last time blink had come to the UK was like 6 years before they headlined in 2010.. plus they have a bigger fan base than Babyshambles, as well as the fact they had 5 albums and one more on the way. Ridiculous even trying to compare
