2012 Lineup

[Vieuphoria]

ha... CAPITALS FOR LOUDNESS

[AcademicPistol]

Pretty stupid thing to say.

[Role Model]

I'm seeing Kanye/Jay in May, I don't care that'll never play Reading, it's disappointing though, I'd love the festival to branch out a little bit more, but that's life. Still at least the organisers aren't quite as closed minded as some people on this board appear to be.

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Arctic Monkeys are more comparable to Metallica than either of them are to Kanye West.

[The Mean Bean]

Its all the same genre though. Theyre all rock bands, just different styles. Kanye West and Jay Z are completely different in everyway. If you buy a R/L ticket you expect your headliners to at least be able to play guitars.

[Yellow_Fellow]

I see no genre reason we shouldn't have them. We've had Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy in the past!

[MEGABOWL]

Beginning to think I'd accidentally logged onto the Glastonbury forum circa March 2008

Personally i don't want to see Jay/Kanye but i recognise they would be a massive booking.

Enter Shikari in the NME would do me fine.

Next time I will read and multi quote... promise 0:-)

Thoose artists are actually talented though just like the Jigga man but I am not sure about the dick he is teaming up with.

'Ye is sure as hell talented.

[Role Model]

Bit surprised people still trying to act like Kanye's not one of the most important and talented guys in the genre.

[Dukeeyyy]

Either Jay Z/Kanye West or Linkin Park are my guesses for 3rd headliner, i'm leaning towards Jay Z and Kanye atm because i reckon they might have them on a UK Festival exclusive, if not them then Linkin Park, the only thing that is leaning me away from JZ&K is that they have just announced a tour, but still think they will be the 3rd headliner.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Kanye may be a bit of an egotistical dick, but he is most certainly talented.

[Dukeeyyy]

Who would sub to Jay Z and Kanye if they headlined?

As do I. I hope people are understanding me correctly. I understand theyd be a huge booking, and that theyd sell loads of tickets. But I just think there are bands that more fit the 'R/L mold' that would be huge bookings and sell tickets too without pissing some people off (not saying it would piss everyone off, but there will be a lot of people who go to R/L because it classicly books more 'NME' type bands which they like and have paid for a ticket expecting more of).

[Yellow_Fellow]

OFWGKTA had one of the best crowds of the fest last year...

[Role Model]

I second that. He puts on a brilliant show as well (providing he's not in a ranting mood haha)
