2012 Lineup

[Andre91]

The thought of looking at the poster on the 12th and seeing Florence at the top of it makes me very sad to say the least

But anyhow, I'm really stumped about the 3rd headliner.

Flo can fuck off. If she does play it entirely depends on NME or lock up whether i get a ticket. Saw Foos last year and have no interest in Kasabian. Better have some decent other acts.

Going with my girlfriend so it entirely depends on the line up.

bloc party playing 2 fests june/july, will be doing the festival circuit and ending with a headline spot at reading/leeds.

im more convinced than ever its going to be

kasabian

foos

thing is, selling gig tix doesn't mean that fest tickets will sell the same way, at least not when it comes to this genre.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo please no

Did the festivals with Jay Z headlining do well? i think that's more important than how well Kanye's festival dates sold/didn't sell. If Melvin wants Jay Z but he'd only do it with Kanye, then i could see that being possible.

[ArcticGorilla]

I reckon Bloc Party are nailed on to play now with the announcement of touring festivals.

The question is to headline or not to headline?

I can't remember properly but I'm not convinced IoW sold out that year.

Apparently someone twieeted Russel about R/L and he said 'not this time' or something along those lines. Not too sure how legit that is just read someone comment on a NME article.

[sirignano]

“@TheJ_Russ: “@JosephMarriott: Reading/Leeds 2012?! We're all friends, speak up....”

Hmmm, i don't know about that but more news soon...ish.”

not sure how long ago that was though

Be better if the co-headlined and were last on at Reading (their home fest) whereas Leeds got someone else

After we've recorded. And no, sorry.

It could be a bluff, but that sounds pretty definite :S

Fatm will not headline as they are playing 4th from the top at T. Razorlight were one of the smallest headliners R&L have ever had and they at least subbed at T in the same year (2007)

[The Mean Bean]

Bloc Party are known for outrightly lying, especially to the NME. They could well be playing.

[edfirth]

at the drive in would loose something on a open stage, would prefer to see them in a tent!

Looking through more of Russell's tweets he denies it several more times. If they really weren't playing R&L where else in the UK would they play? Surely they wouldn't completely miss it out...

[edfirth]

Melvin didn't have a good year last year. Not only did he preside over two festivals that struggled to sell (and which has led on to one of those being cancelled this year), he didn't handle it well on a personal level either from what's been fed back to me.
