2012 Lineup

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Right if I like bands like Editors, We Are Scientists, Maximo Park, The Killers, Arcade Fire what festival am I meant to go to? I used to think it was R/L but clearly its not. The Vaccines, The Courteeners, The Cribs and The Horrors I like as well as the headliners but other than that I just hate it. Im not just complaining to make a point, I genuinely want to know if a festival exists where you can see a lineup filled with band like that rather than chart music like it is at V or You Me At Six and any band that look and sound exactly the same as them like it seemingly is at R/L?

Bombay are by far the most boring band I've ever seen live.

Enjoy them a lot on record but at Glastonbury last year, even in the sun, they bored the life out of me.

Don't think they'll go down too well so high up.

[joelovesleeds!]

Feel really underwhelmed by this. Great headliners but regretting being taken in by the hype and strong predictions at the moment.

Looking hopefully forward to future announcements.

The Vaccines are co-headlining a 5k festival in Leicestershire, with Horrors taking the top spot. Haha.

Joke of a line up. Worst I've seen since I started going (2008). Almost completely worthless other than The Cure and At The Drive-In.

Will pick up a cheap ticket if I can grab one for under £100 a few days before the fest.

That's something to with the Cowan brothers though. It's not a proper festival, it's set up by them both as a fundraiser thing.

Probably a dumb question but how do people get cheap tickets a week before the fest?

[weirdfish]

ebay

[Smally]

Horrendous.

Great set of headliners for me foos, cure and at the drive in.

Ticket purchased.

[pollytoffeefudge]

Fair enough, no idea they went for that price though

[GuitarManDan15]

Hmm interesting most of the people saying the line up is poor are comparing it to the first time they went 10 years ago. Maybe you've changed not the festival

Having said that ive only been going for 4 years and the headliners are great, and so is the nme but the main stage under card is a tad underwhelming

Another point black keys are subbing, they played a few nights at ali pali, and BBC are 3rd played one night at ali pali so maybe there not that out of place in terms of ticket sales

[Dead throne]

I piss on you reading PISS PISS PISSSS....

Sorry, this is my reacting to the lineup...

[Gravyshambles]

It's a really good line-up. Much stronger than last year.

[JBarbour]

About 20 pages since I last posted before line up came out.

Extremely happy! Amazing line up

I do find a few of the placings weird/odd

- Courteeners, bombay bicycle club, the cribs

Last year at least had some interesting acts in The Streets and DFA 1979, and the classic festival bands like The Strokes, Pulp, Madness and Muse were all decent to great (yes i actually thought The Strokes were ok last year).

Other than The Cure and ATDI this years line up is just so fucking boring

Also whoever made the decision to put Crystal Castles on the main stage should be fired. They were unbelievable in the new NME tent last year. Can't imagine anything worse than them on the main stage. Not that type of band.
