2013 Lineup

[thetime]

Can't really see Kings of Leon ever headlining again to be honest, with their arrogance and rudeness in '09.

I think we should all face facts, weather a band is good or not or weather they have a good live rep or not. they will hire bands they think will sell tickets. there are no patterns ,as much as we like looking for them they just aint there. they book the bands most likely to sell out of those avalible at the time. as much as peeps didn't like KOL, RHCP, AM they will headline again when avalible as they sell tickets. as shit as they are those three are would sell it out.

I have a feeling that if R&L are gonna get a more indie friendly type of headliner that it'll be elbow 2 years on from their sub headline show, they must be I with a shout?

[OllieBaker90]

Elbow aren't doing anything next year

[Role Model]

Thought they were a total snooze the last time they played.

[rug568]

Elbow would be a piss poor headliner. They're a bit dull but were quite a pleasant sub i thought.

[VCK]

That lineup is pretty poor IMO, don't know whether I'd bother getting a ticket.

Killers won't headline due to their Wembley Stadium show.

Dizzee Rascal subbing Eminem seems logical but I think would be too far a step in a different direction for Reading to take.

Chase and Status won't play NME, would get too crowded.

Placebo headlining NME is a good shout though, would work very well against Mumford And Sons if they headlined.

[Napolean]

Any idea when some more bands will be announced?

[OllieBaker90]

Im not really a fan.

However there's been quite a few times where bands have done one (or two) off festival shows as a break from writing. If R&L sniff out an exclusive it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Plus the end if the six months would be June/July landing them right in time for a couple of months of rehearsals and play R&L at the end of the summer.

[Gucci Piggy]

I reckon Elbow will headline Glasto after the new album.

[beansontoastwithcheese]

i wouldn't be surprised to see black keys subbing again next year, to the arctic monkeys most likely given monkeys supported the keys this year in the u.s

[sammylee]

I like the Black Keys on record but thought they were quite poor at Leeds this year. Just found it boring really, would be very disappointed if they were headlining.

[guitarbhoy1888]

i was a the black keys in glasgow last week and my god they were amazing

had the crowd in their hands

them subbing arctics would be UNBELIEVABLE !!

but yeah, would be quite happy with them headlining too.

[jonodillieono]

Them headlining would be the weakest headliner in recent history.

People were predicting them to be playing 3rd down this year.

[GuitarManDan15]

El Camino is full of absolutely huge songs and they have a fantastic back catalog. Next time they play they will headline, amazing live band (saw them at the 02 wednesday too)

Actually I would say for 2013 soni could do worse than getting them to headline a slightly smaller friday.

Them headlining would be the weakest headliner in recent history.

[mrtourette]

The Black Keys won't headline a year after subbing.
