[scottguesty]

and it would appear i have lost my sight. very happy with the cure though, thats fantastic news!!

[Dan R]

Can people verify if any of these have a chance or no chance? I think most have a good chance, but just checking!

The Black Keys

Mona

The Gaslight Anthem

Soundgarden

Vampire Weekend

Bon Iver

White Lies

Warpaint

Cheers.

[Buko]

I can see Enter Shikari headlining against Kasabian, The Cure will headline against some dance act to keep all nob'eds busy. (Chase & Status) or something on the NME similar to Arcade Fire / Pendulum in 10.

[JaHawk2009]

Well... Day ticket for Foos & Tenacious D it is then.

[VCK]

There's always one or two surprise bookings. A lot of these predictions consist of the same bands, who everyone thinks will play...so let's see some spanners thrown into the works people.

[TYLER_4]

hoping to get tickets this year, happy about kasabian and foo's hoping other stages and the undercards will be good

[YumYum]

Foo Fighters>The Black Keys>Tenacious D>YMA6

Kasabian>Florence>Kaisers>The Cribs

The Cure>Pixies>Placebo

Justice>Skrillex

At The Drive In>Enter Shikari

The Maccabees>Foster

[DL50]

Enter Shikari would be such a poor NME headline in my opinion

If Bullet For My Valentine are available it would make a better booking

[JJOKOCHA]

That will entirely depend on the day they play. In my experience the Sunday headliner at either site gets a big crowd. I couldn't believe Pulp's crowd at Leeds last year

[madday_]

The Cure

F+TM

Placebo

would be quite good imo

[markyboy101]

Would be tempted to rule out Warpaint. Played in '11 and '10, and they're making their album this year, would've had them as a shoe-in for '13. But then again, they are doing Bestival.

[TheBrokenMinor]

Awesome set of headliners in my opinion.

Will definatly be seeing Foo Fighters and The Cure and although i can appreciate Kasabian as a headliner, they are not really my cup of tea so i'm hoping for something on NME/Lockup.

Just out of interest, do we think Lockup will be on Kasabian and The Cure days?

[bobbykol]

I'm not sure whether you're saying you can't believe their crowd because it was small/because it was huge. But, I headed back to yellow after Strokes (mostly because they put me on a downer, w*nk) and I couldn't believe how many people were heading the same way as me. Was Pulps crowd big?

[Vieuphoria]

I find it odd that people say that Pulp had a huge crowd because of Jane's pulling out. When most people seem to say that Jane's had a tiny crowd.

I think Pulp had a huge crowd because they are Pulp. Icons of a previous generation. Same with Madness. Same with The Cure. All bands who are still relevant, have something to give, but also hark back to a time most didn't experience first time round.

[iPaulo xD]

HELLO, I'VE WAITED HERE FOR YOU, EVERLONG.

[SpecialAgentKit]

so buzzing for the foo fighters! been waiting ages to see them

[iPaulo xD]

Tooo rightt

I think people are saying that the crowd was swelled a little by JA pulling out.

[Jackmypie]

Buzzing for foo fighters

Buzzing for Kasabian

Buzzin like fook for the cure

Just hope there's some shit NME headliners so there's no big clashes

[Taz1708]

I'm not sure whether anyone has asked this yet but anyone think Weezer could play at all? Maybe on Foo Fighters day? They were fantastic in 2010.

[Vieuphoria]

I do stand by the idea that there is no way Jane's would have pulled out due to crowd size. But yes I do agree with you

[The Mean Bean]

It looks like FR have really pulled out of the bag this year, we've got barely any acts confirmed, but it's looking like it's going to be a brilliant line-up. Leeds have more than earned my £200 out of me, the best part is that there's a whole load of acts still to be announced! Bring on Leeds 2012!
