2012 Lineup

[rug568]

i would hardly describe the midnight beast, the horrors and pete as rock.

[Hart Attack]

In the indie/alternative sense, I'd say they are. I thought LDR was more pop?

I'm confused as to why the FR headliner, or any headliner has to be rock?

[RichieParf]

Are Feeder really down to that level already? It was only four years ago they were fourth from top of main...

[Gucci Piggy]

Weren't they meant to be fifth or sixth before Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold dropped out though?

[Gucci Piggy]

Double post.

Well it's a rock festival, isn't it? (I mean rock in the broader sense here, not just the harder/non-indie stuff.) I had the impression that LDR was about as rock as Rihanna... maybe I'm wrong there though, thinking of someone else perhaps?

[Vieuphoria]

I don't see why it would matter. Bit of variety never hurt anyone

[Martino231]

I'm not particularly fussed by LDR, but I can see her headlining FR. She seems to be at a similar point as Marina was back in 2010 when she headlined.

I'd be surprised to see Feeder headlining but after Ash a few years ago, it wouldn't be unheard of. If they were to headline the Friday then that would be very interesting since I've really been unable to get into The Cure, and can't stand The Maccabees. Was planning on going to Social Distortion but if a really good FR headliner pops up then it could make things interesting.

[Avens]

Feeder would just be the crowning glory for me. SO many of my favourite bands are playing, hidden away on the smaller stages. The only main stage acts I'm really looking forward to are Kasabian and Coheed.

[gazza_20]

Nahh they were 4th before anyone dropped out.

[gazza_20]

I think Lana del Rey will headline the FR. NME loves her.

[Gucci Piggy]

to be honest, i think they only opened, 2nd at best v fest main stage last year. no one seems to care anymore, their last tour was stupidly small and not sold out

[2rare2die]

Yeah their closest gig to me was The Leadmill in Sheffield. People like Tribes play there, and I think Tribes have basically sold it out, so there's not much demand for Feeder.

[thetime]

Get carter to headline fr....

[Gucci Piggy]

Err I'll point out that the (sold out) gig at Leadmill was one of four intimate dates to first play their new album. Including a (sold out) date at Norwich Waterfront.

And this was before they announced a much larger (brixton, manc academy) tour for November.

So yeah I'd say there's demand for them.

By the way, before someone says it, I'm not some massive fanboy. I just think they should get the credit they deserve.

What about a Scroobius Pip set on the FR stage?maybe subing it? Not really sure how big he is

[Vieuphoria]

headlined it in 2008 with Le Sac. Their stock has dropped since then, and as a solo performer I can see him even lower.

I really enjoy his wrk though so i'd enjoy it.
