2012 Lineup

[jump]

The Kooks I doubt will play R&L.

The Cribs have announced NME awards show. I can see them coming back to headline NME maybe. Also with TDCC. And they usually have a retro style NME headliner too, I wouldn't rule out Feeder but main stage seems most likely for them.

Why are Nine Inch Nails down at all? They have retired from touring.

A one off festival appearance is hardly a tour. Brilliant last time so why wouldnt they do a one off live show.

[allan14]

Id love for NIN to play but i would be very shocked if they were annoced anywhere

[PurpleFire]

Would Nickelback Headline! They would be brand new to most festivals!

Their qaulity but theres a lot of haters out there i belive! Whats the reason they never played UK festivals?

[jump]

I read an article about Nickleback the other day which may explain it, they are the biggest turn offs to music fans see the chart below.

That list sounds about right, Nickelback are irritating.

foo fighters and system, and ill be happy...

Jay Z and Kanye would be massive, Not for me though

Nickelback are big enough to headline, but more likely at a future Download festival. I reckon they would sub R&L. Possibly to Foo's, that'd be pretty cool. If Jay-Z & Kanye headline (I'm praying they do), who would sub them? Dizzee? Or a band not of the same genre? Limp Bizkit would be sick!

They don't normally do repeat NME headliners and even if there was 1 I couldn't see a 2nd.

[jump]

They don't but klaxons/we are scientists have been done twice now. Nobody believed it when the guy said it and he was right.

[jump]

Just to say dude trent said that he'll be spending most of 2012 recording new material so I'd say there is a chance of a return is 2013.

[gazza_20]

He said he has no intention of playing live music anymore as NIN but he still intends to make music as NIN.

http://www.slicingup...o-trent-reznor/

Trent Reznor retired Nine Inch Nails from the concert stage last night in Los Angeles with an epic three-plus-hour, 37-song, guest-filled set at the Wiltern that ended with the frontman alone at his keyboard singing Year Zero’s “In This Twilight.”

Reznor assured fans, however, that he’s not done making music, even under the NIN banner.

[JIM-182]

Any particular reason why?

[jump]

There was some talk of them on the DL forum a bit ago, so im just backing that up, its just opinion really. I just cant see them getting more than a sub at R&L.

[JIM-182]

Ok. Back to who would sub Jay & Kanye?

[gazza_20]

Just been listening to a bit of Soundgarden and to be honest, going by AC comment about R&L, they would suit subbing Foo's down to the ground. 20 years of Nirvana and one of the big grunge bands. If he knew he hadn't got them but R&L had, surely this is a move he would do to deter people wanting to see them from Soni?

I don't think Biffy will play, when they do, they headline.

I think it depends on realistically if Mumford will play 3rd or 2nd.

So a little alternate guess of:

Jay - Z

Bloc Party

Pixies

The Killers

Mumford & Sons

The Raconteurs

Enter Shikari or similar

Foo Fighters

Soundgarden

Placebo

TDCC

If Mumford can do 3rd, them below BP, and Pixies under The Killers.

[gazza_20]

You're reading far too much into what he's saying. I don't see how people would or wouldn't know Soundgarden are playing Soni by AC making a vague comment and then act on booking tixs for a band that hasn't been comfirmed or even strongly rumoured. Ignoring AC spending half the time talking shit what he said could easily apply to any number of bands R&L may have booked.

[Bisque]

Paramore won't be back will they?

[gazza_20]

Paramore won't be back will they?

[gazza_20]

I know it isn't being thought of but I just read about Eminem turning down £3.8 million basically to headline Big Day Out next year. V Festival and T must've chucked a shed load at him.

[Bisque]

I have to say I'd love it
