2012 Lineup

[Dead throne]

Anyone surprised for the fact that Korn ain't on there? And neither on download or Sonisphere?

[mrtourette]

Yes. Would their draw at R&L be so low that they could play third down in the tent? I guess they could still be squeezed in somewhere at Soni.

Don't know why everyone is recommending 59 Sound when Sink Or Swim is the best Gaslight Anthem album.

[GuitarManDan15]

One band im suprised to not see there was the hives, thought they were nailed on announcing the new single and album monday. One of the best live bands i've ever seen, always put on a great show and have quite a few songs people know and the rest you can just go mental to anyway.

When was the last time they played a UK festival, maybe they don't like them or bookers dont like the band, which would be strange as a i dont think anyone would really complain if the hives were announced.

I'll be seeing them on their tour anyway

[jump]

I'd say 59 Sound is more accessible on first listen. This is from somebody who didn't get into them until after American Slang was released.

[Poppington]

Hives supported Pearl Jam at the hyde park gig a year or two ago, were pretty good as well. They were all dressed as sailors.

thumbs up for The Hives ... amazing live band

[Dead throne]

Any chance of Young Guns playing again as they have a new album out?

[jump]

hope not, THEY HAVE TO PLAY DOWNLOAD!!!

[Dead throne]

They can play both, they are not big enough to be worth the hassle of making them an exclusive.

[rosaliemae]

Do we reckon Frightened Rabbit could play? From their site: "keep your ears to the ground as they’ll be some English festival announcements in the coming weeks." (*there'll)

[Danlar]

Does anyone else feel like we were a little cheated at this announcement? It feels like we got so few bands for all the hype. And paramore suck.

This years announcement announced 41 bands, last year announced 56 bands... We're missing half of the NME, the whole alternative and FR stages. Why?

[kaosmark2]

A band shouldn't have to rely on their light show to be any good. If the music is good enough then they should be great to see in any setting.

In the tent may be better suited but they've played the tent several times in the last few years now - if anything they shouldn't have been booked again at all.

[HuntingFools]

3rd NME saturday Reading has to be Refused.

Same day as ATDI... Billy Talent.

not announced due to Sonisphere.

thoughts?

[HuntingFools]

Would they get a higher slot than glassjaw? Would the demand to see them be the same as DFA1979?

[jump]

Would've thought in the context of reformation etc. that they could feasibly be there in the same (sort of) vein as DFA last year. Refused are headlining Groezrock, and billed as a major draw on Coachella line up.

Record sales etc. debatable but still think the demand is higher than a Lock Up billing.

[HuntingFools]

Last year one of the Groezrock headliners subbed the Lock Up.

[dirtymookie]

fair point. It's just the fit of the day seems to suggest Refused in that slot. Them and ATDI both reforming this year both from same sort of scene also Billy Talent always put Refused as a major influence, it may well be reading too far in to it.

tbh i hope they headline Lock Up, would be incredible.

Could NoFx fit that 3rd spot? are they bigger than Refused?
