2013 Lineup

[eFestivals]

He invited them back in 2009 but they turned him down.

really? That's not something I've heard previously.

[mrtourette]

I think the issue with Oasis and Glastonbury is what Liam has said about the festival since playing rather then some people not thinking they were any good. Eavis was full of praise for them in the 90's, if they wanted to play again I'm sure he'd be the bigger man and have them, if they do it for the money they'll play T and V/R&L.

If they do a reunion in 2015 for example the demand for them would be massive becasue like them or not there has been nothing comparable to them since. I'm not saying Glastonbury would have them back but everyone else would fight tooth and nail to have them. They were one of the most successful bands this country has ever produced and Noel has retained massive popularity on his own so they are a safe booking for anyone.

Where's this from? I highly doubt ME ever considered them in his darkest thoughts after the reaction to their previous set. In 2009, Noel said he doubted they'd ever play it again, because he loves it too much to be at but hates playing Glasto, amongst other things because they've never nailed it.

I don't really think everyone would fight tooth and nail for them, I think people are looking back on the situation they were in with tinted glasses. Their live performances were viewed as being some of the worst, as well as some of the best. Towards the end of their time together, it was pretty much unthinkable that they'd be booked for R&L.

However, I guess with the witnessing of V (their traditional stronghold) being taken over by younger fans, and V fans moving more towards R&L, the line-ups/fanbases are changing.

Dude, I'd be loving it if Oasis reform in 2015! I agree about the V and R&L scrap, throw TITP and Glasto in there too. What makes you think The Killers won't play? I'd say they're a possibility for next year. TITP will probably snap them up, they seem to love them.

[gazza_20]

If you notice, he said Glasto, which means them having produced a shit headline performance there.

With regards to Oasis, I really can't see MB booking them. They only played twice when they were together, and Melvin was only talking about them getting back together.

If they did, I assume SJM would be the leading force in it, and we all know where that would go.

Does anyone else think it would look weak to have Biffy Clyro headlining Reading the year after subbing Download and IOW? I'd have thought they would just sub, then maybe headline a few years later. Besides, they don't really seem big enough to headline; they're no bigger than, say, Paramore, who of course are only subbing...

[kaosmark2]

if they headline T, they will not sub R&L

[GRichards23]

Biffy Clyro aren't exactly subbing bands which have no major say in music. Metallica and Pearl Jam are huge bands. It would look weak if they subbed someone like MCR or QOTSA.

[gazza_20]

The Fratellis headlined T

[Gingo]

Oh, I'd got the impression they had. Still, the point remains that TITP has a different demographic that promotes different bands higher.

[kev1664]

or that TITP promote different bands lower which was the hoo hah about MCR and the Strokes not even subbing at TITP while headlining R/L

[kaosmark2]

Yep and I think Biffy are a much better fit with r&l, however they will get the push at T because they're Scottish.

[gazza_20]

I'm not saying they're not a good fit at R&L, but R&L will worry about their reputation and that it looks weak to get last year's sub from DL/IOW (smaller fests) to headline only one year later.
