2013 Lineup

[Dead throne]

Higher than 4th and 5th from top of main stage? Why?

[Dan R]

well Frank Turner sold out wembley and it was a huge success. They are very big now and deserve the chance to play as high.

BMTH just because.

I absolutwly love frank, but Wembley sold out cos it was a special show and he has a loyal fanbase. But it was a one off and all his fans have seen him play festival slots before. I reckon he'd play 4/5th.

BMTH should play lower, just because.

If Slipknot are about next year I really hope they headline!

[2rare2die]

Wouldnt download be there place to headline?

[thetime]

Wouldn't you welcome more variety at R+L?

[2rare2die]

Wasnt an opinion of what I would like but where I think they will play.

Would I like slipknot to play a festival I go to....not really. Seen them a few times at festivals and there ok but nothing special to me, theres alot better metal bands out there that could play.

But like I said they will probably headline download before r&l, ive not looked but wasnt the last metal headliner metallica? or have rammsteing headlined since?

slipknot can fuck off

[Martino231]

I'd love to see Slipknot headline. I don't think it's too likely but they've definitely got the pulling power to sell tickets.

[lightning1000]

Have slipknot gotten any bigger since the last time they were booked in 08?

They've only brought out all hope Is gone and I don't think that sold as well as vol. 3.

Before they pulled out they were booked 3rd down.

I still think they could sub soad like they did at soundwave.

[Vieuphoria]

Yeah I think they'd be a good sub. Average headliner. Not a great band though really.

Headlined Download and Sonisphere

[LEMON_WOLF]

I think they'd work better at R/L then at Download AGAIN. Different dynamic for them. They know how to play to the average metal crowd which has made their sets generic and kind of boring, well to me anyway. I think them headlining a festival like R/L may push them to try something different, (playing Snuff, Vermillion pt.2, Gematria, Three Nil, My Plague would at least mix their setlist up a bit)

If there is to be a metal headliner next year I'd much prefer System, Maiden or Rammstein (lol)

[Mouseboy11]

I'm a fan of System and obviously they headlined download but surely they are evener less popular among the reading crowd than Slipknot or am I underestimating them?

[Mouseboy11]

I think your majorly underestimating them. I think in the past they were booked the same year as slipknot and played above them. There is much more cross over and a broader appeal for them IMO.

I think r&l would be like soundwave in Australia where SOAD played above slipknot. You've got to admit that SOAD are bigger than MCR do would only headline.

[mrtourette]

SOAD probably have more appeal than Slipknot but I think both would struggle to grab a headline slot. They've used the reunion/return factor on other festivals so don't have that any more, so need a big release with a lot of airplay to raise their profile to headline status (say what you like about MCR but they were all over the radio and music TV channels for at least 9 months up the them headlining).
