Bit of a dream lineup If i'm honest! but let's hope

[RichieParf]

I can't see Reading bothering with a metal headliner, but if they did wouldn't Maiden be the smarter booking than Metallica? They haven't been over-festivaled to the same extent. Haven't Metallica played a festival pretty much every year bar one since the last time they played Reading? Only other band I can think of who've played that many is Muse.

[Mr Mr]

Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, The Killers

[Vieuphoria]

Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, The Killers

[Martino231]

Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, The Killers

[Gucci Piggy]

Without meaning to sound like I'm generalising music genres, they're three very similar bands. In terms of their sound and how long they've been around. I'd like to see Arctics or Biffy headline, but not The Killers at the moment.

My hope for next year:

Biffy Clyro

Blur

Green Day

I know that Blur are supposedly finished now and Green Day never seems to happen, but I'd love that line up. I'd love to see Iron Maiden if they decide to bring in a metal headliner again but I can't see it happening. I agree that they'd be a better booking then Metallica, given the amount of festivals that Metallica have played over the last few years.

[thetime]

Biffy have been around since 1995 and sound nothing like the other 2.

[gazza_20]

Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, The Killers

[BTK1609]

Any chance of Linkin Park? I know they are a bit of a marmite band on here but they have a new album out this year, are definitely a headliner in terms of statute and with Soni unlikely to return R&L seems to be the only festival they could play other than Download.

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't see it. Don't see AM ever at R&L again. Biffy yes, The Killers I still think T/Oxygen exclusive fest shows.

[LeifErikson]

Half optimistic, half expectant.

[gazza_20]

I can't see that AM won't play R&L ever again. They're the most popular band of this generation and almost every young person loves them. I say they'll definitely be back.

[Gucci Piggy]

Alex doesn't like it dude, which is my reason for saying it. Personally I think they'll be a V fest booking now, and to be fair, took them ages to book them and they went down shite I heard.

[Andre91]

Any chance of Slash being booked for next year? Headlining the 2nd stage at DL this year, where abouts do you think he would play at R&L? 3rd/4th down?

[Vieuphoria]

4th would be ok. Just as long as he plays Velvet Revolver, Guns N Roses etc. I find his solo stuff really tedious.

[Gucci Piggy]

Thinking about future years:

2013:

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Blur

2014:

The Prodigy

The Killers

The Stone Roses

2015:

Elbow

Arctic Monkeys

Metallica

Bloc Party and The Killers are interchangeable. And if The Libertines reform I'd slot them in for Bloc Party, on either year.

If The Stone Roses don't last till then, move Metallica to 2014 and swap The Prodigy for The Black Keys.

I've thought this through too much, I know. It's a miserable day.

Also, I hope White Lies to be headlining by around 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

I can see Arcade Fire returning in 2015 probably with their 5th album by then. Also, Radiohead could play in 2014 or 2015 - Ed O'Brien said in an interview a few years ago that they loved playing because it was their first festival set that they didn't have nerves for and could enjoy.

Also, I hope White Lies to be headlining by around 2015

I think Melvin should make my life and book Blur, Pearl Jam and Radiohead for the two hour slots in the next three years. That is all.
