2012 Lineup

[RichieParf]

Given that we're running out of places to put them,what about Nofx as an FR headliner? You'd think they were too big but there's not many slots left elsewhere (if they are playing at all).

[Vieuphoria]

Well wasn't there talk a while back that when they play it tends to be main as it pays more, and the lockup is too small in their opinion. I don't think there is any chance of FR headliner.

[Vieuphoria]

my god i'm in love with Of Monsters And Men. Such a good booking. Lovely band.

[Vieuphoria]

I can see them slotted in on NME Sunday. Still a slot unannounced according the rumour section. Haven't checked it in a while though.

[AcademicPistol]

Where is everyone its a Sunday night and we need to get this thread to 1000 pages.

[Tubson]

Im hoping feeder get slotted in nme somewhere. Be tragic for me if they cash with a headliner i'm watching. If them and nofx get slotted into nme thatl top my weekend off nicely, especially if no clashes. Letlive fest repub headliner?

[lharris92]

InMe should play. no major fests have them and there is no soni soo book them up!

[Hart Attack]

So, have you actually listened to any of her music, or are you voicing an opinion/judgement on something you haven't heard?

[thetime]

I checked out a couple of her songs a few months ago, when I went from never having heard of her to seeing her name everywhere pretty much overnight. Like I said I could be remembering wrong or thinking of someone else or something, but I recall her having a very soft pop-like sound that wouldn't be appropriate for a festival like Reading. But then I suppose the same could be said for Florence and Marina, and they still play.

[AcademicPistol]

Or just avoid the acts you dislike.

[lightning1000]

This would be awesome, but where would they play?

[Vacant0]

Low festival republic stage

[lightning1000]

Or high festival republic stage rather - you don't see bands with four or five albums playing low down the FR stage.

[thetime]

Now theres one band that have not been mentioned to headline fr and I could see it happening, they have only been announced for one festival this year which is field day music festival and that start of june.

Mazzy Star reforming and would fit in like a glove. Can see them doing the friday as you got foos(rock), justice(dance) and then the lock up stage aswel....would leave space for dreamy, beautiful indie music to headline the fr stage.

[lightning1000]

That's my point. If they're that cheap and are willing to play weddings and such, then surely they'll accept a low billing on the fr stage.

They need all the exposure they can get and I just don't think the demand for them (outside this forum) warrants a high booking.

[lharris92]

to be honest we're clutching at straws here, 99.99999% certain they won't play. besides all the big slots are already taken (apart from FR headliners and subs - who will be up and coming most likely).

apparently they've got a headline gig lined up later in the year though so not too fussed

[Mouseboy11]

I think it'd be quite funny if Mazzy Star's crowd turned up and it was all Gears Of War fans.

At least they would get a good eduacation and enjoy a stunning voice.
