2012 Lineup

[Eop]

The Cribs sub headlining the NME seems wierd.

Should switch them with the Vaccines, makes much more sense that way around.

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]

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

[Captain Frogarm]

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.

2008 > 2010 > 2011 > 2009 >>>>>>>2012

[MEGABOWL]

Im definitely thinking Glasto, although even that is very mixed, the good thing with it is that it has 2 stages of well known acts as opposed to R/L's 1. Latitude/Bestival Im debating, they just arent big enough to attract the enough of the bigger names.

[Joe Pape]

i'm pleased I got the line-up right but dissapointed because it's not especially great The Cure will be incredible however, inspired booking.

[mike12]

neil do you still think tenacious D will be there?

[Diva Sam]

Paramore AGAIN?! even as a diva, I do not agree with this!

Why do i feel that if Led Zep were announced people would still complain.

Very Good Lineup IMO.

I'd say last years was stronger and like has been said it had a few surprises. This line up is just dull and unimagineative.

[Captain Frogarm]

When did they last play?

[Captain Frogarm]

Thats because they're dead

[AdamL93]

16 bands I'd like to see so far! I'd say thats a pretty successful first announcement personally! Bar the headliners really looking forward to The Black Keys, The Shins, The Horrors, Band of Skulls! Amongst others!

[Role Model]

I really expected more wow factor this year after last year, its just really flat.

[st dan]

I don't actually know what people expect ? .. R+L can't just get bands who aren't together or don't tour, or have their own shows, or are doing other things etc.

This isn't a poor line-up, its just a reflection of music at this moment in time.

Must be hard to book between the popular acts to sell the tickets and the bands the typical R+L crowds want.

I think this is a good mixture.

[o0oDrummer]

There really was alot of wrong people on here this year.

[Hawky]

I think something fishy is happening... How come the third downs dont have there own font design thing like last year? Perhaps a few bands are yet to be slotted in high up...
