Think about album cycles and whatnot, for a lot of the larger bands who operate a little bit slower, it will be a lot of bands who released stuff 09/10 who will be due again in 2013.

Given that, Arcade Fire would be due. They'll wrap up everything 'Suburbs' over the next few months then take their 12 months or so to get something new together, few more months to release it, kick a tour off, and voila, it's spring/summer 2013.

Pop acts work quickly. We've kind of reverted to an age gone by where pop acts always have something in the charts. There's no time off, and they're less on album cycles and more on continual-singles-presence plans. GaGa, Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry - it's been a continual cycle for years now, they don't 'go away'. Given that, I reckon we'll get a new GaGa album in 2013, even though that's a relatively quick turnaround by others standards. Also, Beyonce was a monster, if there were any doubts about such a 'pop' headliner, they're gone now.

So, my bets are Arcade Fire, Lady GaGa, and someone in that never before/legend/one off spot. That could be anyone and isn't necessarily determined by album or tour cycles.

Bloc Party would be great if the other two acts were friggin' huge. Hopefully they would snub R+L's money for a Glasto appearance & album sales.

With another album out I would hope Friendly Fires, The Wombats & Two Door Cinema Club shoot up near the top 3/4 of the Pyramid.

    • Lovely Brexit doc on bbc2 for anyone who wants to relive those golden years.
    • I think some folks are underestimating how many millennials, now into heavier music, were genuinely also into things like techno and happy hardcore in the 90s and early 00s. Scooter may be about is commercialized as it gets when it comes to happy hardcore and techno, but for many, they won't be just a 'silly act' they will be a genuine nostalgia act. 
    • Can anyone share please as can’t access the app 
    • Someone said something along the lines of "the lows were really low but they highs were really high" and I think that sentence sums up my ps experience this year. Thursday was a downer (even though I got to see men I trust, geese, oklou and fcukers), but the weather, the missed shows and the uncertainty (those comms...) made it a bad day. Friday and Saturday on the other hand where rly good, a bunch of amazing shows each day (The Cure one was quite something), that surprise on Saturday...   Will be back next year, hope they get another impressive lineup as this year (quality and quantity wise) and that tickets and  primarily hotels don't get much more expensive.
    • Rosalia Radiohead NIN MGMT Bjork David Byrne   Also Vince Staples' new album is cool. I could see him returning.
