NME/Radio 1 Headliners?

[jump]

Do you think they'd have Jane's Addiction back after what happened last year? I could understand having them back if they pulled out before the festival but pulling out so late like they did makes me think Melvin won't be in any rush to have them back.

[Banana Co]

How about:

Maccabees (clashing with Kasabian)

Enter Shikari (clashing with The Cure or whoever headlines on the the indie orientated day)

New Order (clashing with foo fighters)

Maybe swap New Order and Maccabees around. I'd be there for Maccabees and New Order no question.

anyone reckon deadmau5 could be in with a shot of headlining the tent one night? he's pretty massive these days and he played in 2009 so hes not unfamiliar to the festival and wouldn't really look at out place, maybe something similar to 2manydjs last year

wishful thinking more than anything though tbh

I think Deadmau5 is too big personally, I think if there is a dance headliner this year it'll be Chase & Status or Justice.

It depends if it was truly genuine or not I suppose... personally I was absolutely gutted that they pulled, the main reason I got tickets to see Pulp at Wireless was so I didn't have to worry about the clash at Leeds and I could watch Jane's.

I just want some one good on nme when kasabian are on of I go.

[Bisque]

seriously, there was hardly anyone in there.

[Vacant0]

There were just as many people in the FR tent to see The Midnight Beast.

[Bisque]

Still don't get that band. I know they're supposed to be a comedy band but they just sound fucking dreadful. Am I just too old or something?

[Vieuphoria]

I was waiting in the tent at Reading for them to come one, they set up all the gear, did the soundcheck, everything. Then Dave Navarro walks on and says that Perry's ill so they're not playing, I have a weird suspicion that they just didn't want to play to such a small crowd, seriously, there was hardly anyone in there. So I ended up seeing the Strokes instead, waste of time.

I'd still like to see them some time soon though, saw them support NIN in 09, but I wasn't really into them back then.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Perry apologised to me, so I'd like to think it was genuine... I am a massive fan, so I will see them when they next come to the UK, be that at R/L or not. (Preferably not if the crowd isn't going to appreciate it.)

I spoke to one woman who said she had waited 19 years to see Janes Addiction. The only reason she went to Reading last year was to see them. She was crying so so much (as was her daughter). I felt sooooo bad for her. I just hope they can make it up to fans like that!

It is sad... very sad. But if the lead singer of your band looses their voice.... there is nothing you can do.

[mrtourette]

There was a media meeting (I'm sure there's a better term) in their dressing room a couple or so hours before where they chatted to the press and did some photographs ans apparently he seemed OK, not sure if he sang though.

I have no issue with Korn.

[Vieuphoria]

oh of course yes I remember that...

Sorry sir

[RichieParf]

How about the Vaccines? Apologies if its been suggested/ridiculed before, haven't read through the whole thread.

[Vieuphoria]

Probably will be there... Would assume so anyway
