2012 Lineup

[Mouseboy11]

I think part of it has to do with the fact he's always moaning that fans won't to speak with him, I know it must be annoying be most celebs kind of just deal with it. Sure I read about him kicking off and smashing up a sound system at a show too once.

The Cure played in Bilbao tonight and played Boys Don't Cry twice.

Once as an accoustic set with Robert Smith by himself (due to technical problems) and then once at the end of the set. Fantastic stuff if you ask me, how many bands these days would bother if they there were technical problems?

The accoustic set can be found here:

Wow. That was incredible. He's got such a powerful and distinctive voice. And yeah most bands would probably just fuck off.

[6daviesdr]

That is quite impressive, and i dont even really like them.

MTV is that the tv channel that used to have music on it?

[Yellow_Fellow]

MTV has music again nowadays. Get with the times.

[Mouseboy11]

Does it? I thought that was stuff like MTV Rocks and MTV Bass. I thought the actually MTV just shows things like Geordie Shore now. So much so it's even been moved to the entertainment part of sky rather than music.

[Vieuphoria]

In fairness MTV has multiple channels dedicated to music and one dedicated to programming. It's not really much different than MTV in the 90's. Lots of music videos interspersed with Beavis & Butthead, Daria, Headbangers Ball, Celebrity Deathmatch, TRL, The Osbournes, Jackass and such. It's jsut now they've spread out their programming onto different channels.

It's just a shame their programming lost all creativity when they chose to do so. The cool stopmotion animations were really quite awesome. And they had brilliant shows liek Daria. They just replaced all of the cool and relevant to the time shows, with cheap and easy "reality" shows. Shame.

That reminded me i miss the adult swim that used to be on bravo back in day

Bring back ray cokes

[Andre91]

I know it most likely won't happen because a month is a decent amount of time for her vocal chords to heal, but if Florence has to pull out, who would replace her? I'd like Bloc Party!

[Vieuphoria]

Would depend on how soon she pulled out. If she did it the next week or so we might get a new Sub hedliner. Anywhere after that we'd probably have The vaccines subbing and then an extra band added somewhere on the mainstage.

[Gucci Piggy]

Jack White please. Although I highly doubt she'll pull out.

Tenacious D to replace her, was the plan all along

[Vieuphoria]

I did think of this, its a good point. I'm a big fan of The Vaccines, but subbing, oh dear. It'd depend who was free really if another sub sized band could slot in. Like I said, Bloc Party, or Editors maybe? Jack White would be fantastic though

[thetime]

Beady eye, would be logical. Beady eye into kasabian would flow nicely.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Oh god no, no Beady Eye please. Can we have Noel instead? I don't care about V... just no Beady Eye

[Mouseboy11]

Will they sell merch for the bands there? I like to get T Shirts from gigs i've been to so if I wanted say a Black Keys one will they likely have them?

I'd love to see Tim Minchin on the main stage! Can't really see it happening anytime soon at R+L though, which is a shame.

Take it for what's its worth but a friend of mine was at Frank Turners gig in Darlington - couldn't make it due to cash shortage unfortunately - and he got talking to the man himself - friend said he was off to Leeds and frank said I'll see you there, I'm playing but under a different name

I'd imagine this would be his hardcore band with Ben (million dead drummer) and Tarrant (sleeping souls bassist)

Slot on lock up I'd imagine?
