the headliners are....

[a_kelaz]

A band that has limited appeal I think to the current generation of Leeds goers, i.e. done nowt for years. hardly going to get people rushing for tickets, more likley so whos playing in the tent......

[Role Model]

Can't wait to be in a crowd of about 50 people, it'll be like they're playing a small venue anyway. Much more interesting booking than boring boring Green Day.

Could the Cure be co-headliners.......?????????? just like pulp and the strokes last year? that would be better

Wow how interesting, so i get to see The Cure twice this summer (as seeing them at Primavera sound too) excellent

......just hope they are appreciated by the younger crowd as they are niche even when they were big in the 80's

[KingOfTheRodeo]

Haven't really posted this year or really looked at the forum as I thought I wasn't gonna go because of lack of money.

However, with The Cure headlining i am now 100% getting a day ticket at the very least.

[joe1990]

I'm happy, not a massive fan of The Cure but at least it's something different.

[BTK1609]

Neil you have made my day!

How will I spend my days at work now I know who the third headliner is though?! The guessing game was great fun!

[lacney]

Poor effort. I'm still in denial, hope this is wrong. Then again considering Neil said he was 94% sure it wasn't them who knows...

that line up poster we saw of the magazine with The Cure, Kasabian, and Foo Fighters with Florence and The Machine subbing seems like it might actually be real?

if so that line up blows my mind.

[a_kelaz]

Been watching highlights of Bestival performance, hardly ripping it up like. they have some class songs,

Bit like a Sunday dinner re-heated in the microwave this announcement, decent, but not the same

A lot of people aren't given The Cure the credit they deserve. They really are a top band, very influential in several genres. You may not like them much, but I reckon almost everyone has heard "Friday I'm In Love", "Lovesong", "Just Like Heaven"... They were nominated for the hall of fame this year, that definitely gives them "legend" status. There's hints of a new album in the works, so I can see why they're booked.

[mrtourette]

A ballsy move and a pleasant surprise. I'm still not convinced it'll work commercially but I think The Cure subbed by Florence would be a genuinely different pairing for R&L and in a year where it's peers T and V are terribly bland and predictable a move like this should be applauded.

I just hope they take the same approach to the rest of the bill.

[SamSheppard]

So excited now! THE CUREEEEE!!!

Cheers for the graft anyway Neil, Keep the gd info coming in, deein a crackin job, just need the NME headliners mate if you would be so kind???? ahhhhh go on!

[lharris92]

... better than all the other fests this year. imo of course - even if they all aren't my cup of tea.

downloads headliners are solid too - but thats aimed at a different market.

hope the undercard lives up to the potential it has

The Cure, Foos and Kasabian are a solid set of headliners. All with their own strengths! I love them all to. The Cure for me are the best out of the three. Genius of a song writer Mr Robert Smith... If your not a big fan but havent listened to them then please buy an album or two and give them a listen. You'll be surprised and you'll end up loving them

[riizch]

This has just made it for me. I'm wetting myself with excitement
