2013 Lineup

[Mouseboy11]

I hope Fall Out Boy reunite and play, are they actually any good live? I imagine patrick can't actually sing......

[Vieuphoria]

They are very average live.

[madday_]

Maybe Patrick couldn't sing years ago, but especially now that he's lost all the weight he's amazing live.

I thought they were great, but I've only seen them once

[DL50]

Gonna give my opinion on what people have been saying for 2013 headliners

Green Day: I really fucking hope so but gonna be so boring if they are rumoured again for the 5th year in a row, hopefully they'll do something after the new album!

Blur: Seems possible if they release a new album and are still around next summer, however they have been quoted saying olympics etc may be last thing they ever do so we can't really see too far into the future for them

Bloc Party: Could possibly justify being bumped up to headliners with new album, and love Reading and Leeds, so i think definitely possible

Biffy Clyro: In my opinion i don't think they'll be big enough to headline even after new album, unless its absolutely huge. For now i think subheadliners

Mumford and Sons: Same reasons as Biffy tbh

The Killers: Definitely another possibility, even though doing V this year they will have new album out and 5 years since they last did it

System of a Down: would love it but it seems like they are going on another big hiatus after last year's tour, dunno if we will be seeing them again so soon

Prodigy: New album this year but don't see why R&L would want to bring them in a year after headlining download

That's just my opinion, i know loads of you will probably disagree

Overall for headliners at this early stage i'd say : Bloc Party, The Killers, Green Day/Blur as the legendary Sunday headliner

[Mouseboy11]

I'd say Biffy and bigger than Bloc Party.

[Dead throne]

Reading/Leeds:

- Biffy Clyro

- Green day

- (some random Indie pop band)

Download:

- Van Halen

- Rammstein

- Bullet For My Valentine?

Sonisphere:

- Iron Maiden

- Muse

- Tool

[Vieuphoria]

I think Sonisphere will be more like

Iron Maiden

Metallica

Metallica

seems most likely

I get the feeling the pumpkins will be about at festivals next year. Could see them as a Soni headliner. Similar to FNM.

[DL50]

Think you're on to something there i can definitely see The Smashing Pumpkins doing Soni

[Hawky]

Download won't allow Sonisphere to embarrass them that badly and as I keep saying Maynard is busy making his wine Tool won't be back for a while yet if ever.

[VCK]

For people asking about Fall Out Boy, Stump basically said he couldn't see a future in the band. Something about people giving him too much abuse for it and stuff.

[AcademicPistol]

hAVENT THEY GOT A NEW ALBUM OUT THIS YEAR

[2rare2die]

I think it's just rumours at the moment but let's remain optimistic, I will be complete when I finally get to see them live.

[AcademicPistol]

Have you never seen them? If not then you definitely won't be disappointed when it does happen, genuinely awesome live band!

[jump]

Well they won't headline R&L again, can't see Download wanting them.

Soni: The Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, Iron Maiden would be my guess

[2rare2die]

Yeah the live footage i have seen over the years looks special and they are one of my favourite bands but they tour here so rarely they keep eluding me.

[Babyquack]

[jump]

the Prodigy are too it to sub nowadays, They'd only headline :/

[Andre91]

Would love Machine Head to pop up on the main stage next year

Biffy Clyro

Pendulum

Machine Head

Bring Me The Horizon

Sum 41

The Stone Roses

Mumford & Sons

Vampire Weekend

The Enemy

Miles Kane

Blur

Dizzee Rascal

Editors

White Lies

Young Guns

Pendulum could be swapped with Chase & Status, see how well they do subbing Download this year!
