2013 Lineup

[alex28]

I think its possible the heavier bands could on the Eminem day like before? I reckon Black Sabbath are at Soni this year too.

Im now going with: Eminem,Mumford & Blur

[sjseabass]

Have they said whether the day Alt-J are headlining NME is the same day Eminem's headlining main? If so I think I'll stick with just Glasto next year...

Oh calm down, I think it's a great booking. He's incredibly hard to see live nowadays and despite what you say I think he'll be a huge ticket shifter - you should have seen my twitter timeline when it was announced. And what do you mean ' It's not exactly new because he headlined in 2001'.... that was 12 years ago! Compared to how often acts repeatedly headline the same festivals nowadays, that's a fucking long time! I think they may balance this out with a heavier rock act - Black Sabbath - and then have an indie headliner - Mumford/ Biffy (I know they're on the borderline). Which I think would be a strong set of headliners. Also think some people need to get used to the fact that RnL aren't going to be stuck in 1991 forever, and that they will have to appeal to the current, and more diverse, audience.

I would think they need a metal headliner to keep everyone happy, SOAD or Talicca?

Black Sabbath not metal enough for you?

Eminem

Metallica or Black Sabbath or The Prodigy.

Biffy Clyro or Mumford & Sons or another step up, SOAD at a long shot.

Can't really see past it being this now.

[FloorFiller]

i can't see it being Metallica. they haven't done anything major since their last performance (well, i know they released Death Magnetic after their headline performances, but they can't promote that now, can they?) and they won't do their Black Album set again. i'd say, if there is a metal headliner (which there doesn't necessarily have to be - maybe just a heavy rock band in the vein of Biffy) then it'll be Black Sabbath

[gazza_20]

i'm tempted to put it on the line with Sabbath, Eminem, Blur (this i'm unsure of but can't think who else, i've a hunch it won't be biffy, mumford are still in there but hmm)

Biffy Clyro, The Prodigy and Bloc Party as your subs

[Black_Crow]

I think Reading will go for 3 commercial headliners next year to make sure it's sold out and not struggling.

[FloorFiller]

i'd say Sabbath, Eminem, Blur. seems far too good to be true but also the most likely in my eyes. i don't think Mumfords will headline - Glastonbury seems more likely for them - and i just can't think of another act who a. hasn't already played in the previous few years b. is currently touring / doing the festival circuit

if those three do end up being the headliners then it's the best complete set of headliners that Reading & Leeds have had in a long time!

[PriiivateDonut]

Anyone think that maybe Red hot Chili peppers could be an option?

I mean think about it, they've not a had a full scale English tour in years, not played an festivals recently. They brought a new album out not too long ago? Just a though..
