2012 Lineup

[Bisque]

Download better not get Foos, it's currently my best excuse to the missus to go back to Reading next year (without her).

[gazza_20]

Wasn't it this time last year you were put on moderation as you kept arguing with people as you believed some idiot who was making up obvious bullshit about the Download & R&L headliners was right...

[gazza_20]

Just gonna quote myself to prove Gazza as a liar for claiming some kind of inside knowledge.

[jump]

God knows if it was a year ago, but yes I was but don't slate me hear then cover me below.

[gazza_20]

I'm neither slating or covering, just giving a reminder that you do have a tendency to believe things far too easily.

[jonnyx]

Maybe I'm getting old, but are you guys going to keep this 'yep they'll play', 'they're bigger than them', 'they're to shit to play', all winter?

Some of you are working harder than the people actually who's job it is!

I guess if you mention every name possible, you might just get it right.

Notes: System of a Down and Slipknot co headline with SOAD closing at Reading and Slipknot closing at Leeds.

Kanye and Jay-Z are billed as together but actually perform three sets. Kanye first and then Jay-Z second at Reading (Swop around at Leeds) and finish off with Watch the Throne. Around 1 hour per single set and 30 mins for Watch The Throne so works out about same length as The Strokes and Pulp did.

Thoughts?

[SOAD]

I can't see them doing 2 lots of co-headliners in the same year imo, if it was System/Slipknot & Kayne/Jay Z then I'd reckon Slipknot would just sub since they are willing to do so at Soundwave and be more similar to Libs & Arcade Fire.

[harderfaster]

as was his appearance in 2000 (or was it 2001?).

He's always dreadful. I've never seen him when he hasn't been dreadful.

In whatever year that was, I spent a while asking the people who'd crowd surfed into the pit why they were going so nuts for such an awful act. The response from all of them was "yeah, I know he's awful, but it's Ian Brown maaaaan".

There's no accounting for some people.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

When everybody around you is singing FEAR at the top of their lungs it drowns him out and makes for quite an enjoyable experience.

[Dukeeyyy]

Haven't guessed for a while, but here goes..

Leeds

Friday

Foo Fighters

The Prodigy

Placebo

You Me At Six

Enter Shikari (new album out, so reckon they will be back in some shape or form before taking a break)

The Cribs

Saturday

Jay Z/Kanye West

The Gaslight Anthem

Sunday

Kasabian

Noel Gallagher

Mumford and Sons

Lostprophets

Brand New

The Vaccines

Now that the tour has kicked off, and they're doing the throne as well as their own hits, jay z/ kanye are going to be headlining next summer. Only reason I think it'll be reading and leeds is that V will have spunked all of their money on stone roses.

[brettredmayne]

Won't be RHCP gladly as heard there announcing a stadium tour this week

[chickenfire]

Eminem doing the snippets of songs thing at T in the park last year was the single most infuriating thing I have ever had the privilege of witnessing.

I still regret not going to see the prodigy instead.

If Kayne and Jay-Z do headline next year, I will watch at first but if they start that I will go watch someone else.

[gazza_20]

A bit out of context but at this moment The Stone Roses, Blur, Metallica doesn't look a bad bet for 2013? I'd say Blur for 2012 but not so sure that early but if they have plans to play live outside the next year, chances are they'll play UK within next 2.

[rexclark]

Blur are the only realistic act that will lure me to Leeds next year, can't see it though.

[jump]

Stones Roses (if they are even still together by then) are rumoured for Glasto 2013 and I don't buy into the popular Metallica will play R&L every 5 years theory. They are so over toured at the moment that even a year away may not be enough.

[Guess Who]

Is there any chance of Snow Patrol being there?
