2012 Lineup

It's more to do with no Oxygen this year it's the only Irish fest they could play.

[Sarge009]

Surely The Cure will be doing at least one English festival?

Just been looking at Opener and Electric Picnic Fests.

I think it's fair to say Bloc Party, Public Enemy, Gogol Bordello, Bon Iver, Justice have a good chance. We share a fair few acts with Open'er, Top of bill acts especially. Last year, we shared both our co-headliners, in 09 we shared two of our headliners.

Last year at Electric Picnic we also shared a sub headliner and at least one undercard high band. The year before we shared Modest Mouse, Foals, LCD Soundsystem, Mumford & Sons and The Big Pink to name a few.

I wouldn't say it's guaranteed to have The Cure but I would say it's a decent chance and Flo under them would be the massive mainstream booking the fest would need, I think that fits better than under Kasabian and with Dizzee below her that's very strong.

(sorry for mobile site but on phone)

Says isle of white??? Obv they couldn't say Reading, but could they be confused with IOW & bestival?

Don't think we can read too much about The Cure being confirmed for EP. It just means they are even more likely for R+L or Latitude as they are in talks with FR.

What would be interesting is to know the placement of Elbow, they seem likely to headline Latitude at this point but are they only subbing EP? If they are then I'd say it makes The Cure a little more likely for R+L rather than Latitude as we know The Cure are headlining EP.

Feeling quite underwhelmed now both Green Day and Blur have been removed

[gazza_20]

Neil, what's the latest on The Cure for R&L or Latitude thoughts?

same as it was.

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Sorry, cant be bothered reading back, Florence and the machine are TBC, but still headliner talks are rife, are they not meant to be TBC or are they unlikely to headline?

[mrtourette]

Definitely playing, not sure if it's headlining or subbing.

[Mouseboy11]

Well then, looks like Bring me the horizon are headlining.

Tbh, I think Id rather have Flo headline and have a good NME or Lock up headliner same night than have her sub if the other headliner is going to be someone bad, which if it isnt the cure looks likely atm.

Foo Fighters

Black Keys

Primal Scream

Kasabian

Bloc Party

Kaiser Chiefs

Florence

Mumford and Sons

Razorlight

If it was them 9 with White Lies, The Vaccines, The Courteeners and Maximo Park on the main stage as well, with some good acts on NME that would do me very nicely. As for the NME headliner same night as Florence, maybe Klaxons? Tbh I want to see Maccabees but I cant really see them being against Flo with her probably being the most similar act to them of the 3 headliners.

[Jack McCarthy]

She's not headlining. Neil just posted on the 'Florence...' thread

[FortMorris]

Been watching this thread for a long time but this is my first post and all I have to say is. Thank fuck for that.

Bloc Party or the Cure surely. I'd be happy with either.

[PurpleFire]

Best first post ever.

YAY.

So it looks like it's going to be The Cure...

[let's 'ave it!!!]

3 potential headliners written off in 1 day!

Really don't know who could headline.....

[jonnomanofsteele]

As much as I like Florence, if it turned out to be her and not Blur headlining I'd be heartbroken.

Outlandish guess at 3rd headliner #58:

Eric Clapton.

[a_kelaz]

Linkin Park, got to be...... I hope
