2013 Lineup

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Copping has said before he'd like to book Smashing Pumpkins.

[jump]

I think you'll find he actually said something along the lines of he'd book them, as long as they'd accept something lower than a headline slot as he doesn't think they have the pulling power anymore...

[The Mean Bean]

[alex28]

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]

Pretty sure I read somewhere they ARE bringing out a new album this year or next.

[madday_]

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.

[Voliton]

'Still no word on Fall Out Boy…I know Joe’s working on his new record and Pete’s mixtape just came out so I don’t expect anything on that front in the near future. I, as always, would be super psyched to do the band again though'

the abuse he's been getting has been more directed at his solo project

Why are prodigy headliners at festivals, a good decade before they released anything decent.

[Gucci Piggy]

You could change Biffy to Sunday and put Bloc Party on Friday as Green Day isn't going to happen, I just don't think they care and would much rather do their own shows here. Even Bloc Party on Sunday but either way the Saturday is pretty terrible. Friday except for Biffy, ATDR, LTJ and Twin Atlantic and Sunday except for Pendulum, Rancid and FYS isn't much kop either, indeed IMO.

I reckon Frank Turner could probably headline NME by next year, in fact i think that's what he'll do. Gogol on main too.

I firmly thinks it's very realistic your top 6 next year may well consist of Blur, Pendulum, Biffy Clyro, QOTSA, Bloc Party and Mumford and Sons.

Bloc Party

Mumford & Sons

Biffy Clyro

QOTSA

Blur

Pendulum

[thetime]

Because their last album topped the charts and the new one they are yet to release probably will as well! Also they are very good live

[Mouseboy11]

Any chance of Pearl Jam next year? It would be amazing.

[mrtourette]

Yeah I know but they have been good live for 20 years, but all of a sudden are headliners after years not being so.

[thetime]

They've sort of headlined Reading twice, headlined IOW and subbed at festivals numerous times, it's not a massive leap in status.

[Andre91]

I think that next year we will see more acts being pushed up further than predicted like this year. Also, Melvin Benn praised The Stone Roses reunion quite heavily in an interview recently, so if they are any good this summer I could see him maybe getting them next year, even if their last Reading show was an abortion.

Biffy Clyro

Pendulum

Weezer

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

Something like this would do me quite nicely, but that's not how it works I'm afraid :L

[Mouseboy11]

Please Pearl Jam Please Please

[Babyquack]

Yep always saw them as subbing band, rather them than most headline acts just cant fathom out why all of a sudden there headliners.

[Regular Chris]

Fri

Nine inch nails

Qotsa

Smashing pumpkins

Deftones

Sat

Blur

Bloc party

Maximo Park

Jack White

Sun

Pearl Jam

Faith no more

Pixies

Placebo

Very very unlikely

It isn't all of a sudden, they've closed the day at Reading twice
