2013 Lineup

[thetime]

what don't you understand?

[festivallad90]

Haha it doesn't matter, decoded it!

[the wonderwhy]

Gazza's too busy concentrating on his festival line-up boner to care about how much sense his posts make

[gazza_20]

Your posts lol.

Your like my wife, sometimes she gets over excited and rambles non stop to quick.

I imagine your like that, typing faster and faster as you get over excited.....just do your breathing excercises.

Alt-J win Mercury ffs

Alt-J win Mercury ffs

[the wonderwhy]

Wasnt he favorite?

[sammylee]

With this mercury win defo think alt-j would sub the tent, not too sure about headlining it though.

[rug568]

I would say thats more likely and copy v for 2014.

Them

Yeah, its a decent album just not consistent. Django Django/Richard Hawley/Plan B/Maccabees/Ben Howard & Field Music were all better throughout IMO

Guess it means they've got more justification for a higher placing now

[thetime]

Possibly.

Although I am still a bit sceptical.

Since 2000 there have been repeat headliners.

Muse in 2006 then 2011

Foo Fighters in 2002 then 2005 then 2012

Metallica in 2003 then 2008

The Strokes in 2002 then 2011

Pulp in 2000 then 2011 (well at Leeds)

There have been 33 different headliners since 2000. This clearly shows the reluctance of Melvin to book repeat headliners. Considering Kings of Leon really didn't go down well at Reading from what i've heard, I have a hard time believing Melvin will want them back, especially as their last album really didn't go down well. It's not like they have anything to prove, which makes me more sympathetic for the arctics to return, as they slagged off the crowd at Reading.

I'm sorry but for me that it terrible. If I was going to write a lineup that i pray won't happen but is kind of realistic, that would be it.

[rug568]

Also on the subject of the Mercury Prize I don't think Alt-J should have won, all about Hawley for me, although I haven't liked a winner since 2006.

[rug568]

Or the the other have just gone shit or split up. Would be interesting to see the bands that have not repeated, would they still comnan headline status?

Top of my head.

Oasis - split

Stereophonics - no

Darkness - no

Razorlight - no

Pixies - no

Smashing pumpkins - no

Travis - no

Manics - no

Franz ferdinand - no

Maiden - yes

Ratm - yes

Pearl jam - yes

[gazza_20]

Not really what i would want either mate, but like you say it is fairly realistic

[gazza_20]

A perfectly valid point, but some of those bands could still have headlined say 4 years after they played.

I'm not dismissing the idea of KOL in 2014, I just think it's unlikely.

[dentalplan]

you may have a point mate, I agree with your years thing, KOL for V does seem more likely and have history with T as shared.

But cause both Green Day and KOL look likely for T, it's Green Day I think we'll get in 2014, not KOL. R&L has more a history in recent years of having a T header from the year before than V. Also a lot probably due to V's ever changing list of acts.

[rug568]

Gazza agreeing with me is really unnerving, kind of feels I must be wrong.

[chriseede]

Yeah, its a decent album just not consistent. Django Django/Richard Hawley/Plan B/Maccabees/Ben HowardJessie Ware & Field Music were all better throughout IMO
