2013 Lineup

[thewayiam]

Maybe he asked after Reading had nailed them down to a UK exclusive? Guess we'll probably never know

[sisco]

I still think Mumfords will be subbing the stones at Glasto, which in my mind rules them out of Reading and Leeds.

Have nothin to base this on other than gut feeling of course and am 99% likely to be wrong

[Mouseboy11]

Maybe, but that still means they would've tried.

We may never know, and I'm not more in check to presume than you but common sense kinda says, they tried.

Just for the talk, Pearl Jam with SOAD subbing?

Or we could get blur and the mega sub list - Prodigy, Mumford and SOAD subbing

/sigh

On topic, I really can't see anyone other than Mumford headlining, because SOAD are far far more likely to accept a sub slot (to Eminem perhaps?) and will sell far fewer tickets. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but that's my "gut feeling", for what it's worth.

In terms of subs, I think The xx, Jack White/ Bloc Party and SOAD (if not headlining) or Prodigy on the Eminem day would be excellent. I'm not sure if Noel Gallagher being rumoured for Glastonbury makes them more or less likely, but I think it would be a good booking. To sub Biffy perhaps?

I like this, I like it a lot.

[Lost_addict]

Don't even joke about Pearl Jam

Eminem/Biffy/Pearl Jam

Subbed By

Bloc Party/Prodigy/SOAD

would be amazing

throw in a few like Cage the Elephant/Manchester Orchestra//Killswitch Engage/Sum41 and they will indefinably have my money.

[FloorFiller]

do Pearl Jam have any pull these days? even at festivals like Download and Sonisphere i can't see crowds of people flooding to see Pearl Jam, so i'm not sure how well they'd go down at Reading and Leeds. could be wrong, i just thought they'd fallen off the radar in that sense

*actually, scratch all that. Guns 'N Roses did headline in '10 so i suppose an older, 'legendary' band is still an option regardless of whether they're a massive crowd puller

It crossed my mind that Mumford and Sons might not go to Glastonbury because they think it will harm their chances of headlining in the next 2 years or so. I don't know how likely this is, (how many subs have headlined soon after their sub?) but if there were bigger and better alternatives would Eavii choose a band who subbed 1 year/ 2 years before to headline?

From a money/ exposure point of view it would make more sense to capitalise on their current popularity, pick up masses of money doing an England exclusive at R+L (I imagine it's a lot more than even a Glasto headline slot) and get quite a lot of (admittedly not needed) exposure, and wait till next year/ year after to headline Glasto, when the hype train has died down a little, and have another album out to put in a good headline slot and become the "biggest and the best" again. This way they get more money, more exposure over a longer period of time, and don't have to play any sub slots. It's a win win for them.

Maybe I've just made up a big massive conspiracy theory and I'm talking out of my ears. Probably that

[Mouseboy11]

Doesn't Reading normally get an "Older" headliner too, this would fit this.

[Andre91]

Sorry if I'm a bit late, but I've only just noticed SOAD are a rumour, is there anything in this or is it just because lots of people have been talking about them? I can't stress enough how over-the-moon I will be if they are announced in March

[jump]

At their peak, they subbed, it's said they never toured Hypnotize properly here, it's not great anyway, IMO. They headed on a reunion a festival that isn't as big as Reading and Leeds.

[FloorFiller]

Eminem is pretty old if you ask me.

[insideaway]

but he's not, say, Metallica old, or Guns 'N Roses old etc. Biffy Clyro are also old if we're gonna call Eminem old

[Andre91]

Don't always have and old headliner didn't in 11 and other years im just not sure which.

[FloorFiller]

Pulp?

[spector95]

Chances of Bon Iver appearing?

[Amy Lawn]

They're on hi-hate-huss I think, but they're an exceptional live band, delivered a tremendous set at Latitude last year.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Chances of Bon Iver appearing?

[the wonderwhy]

Chances of Refused? Just got into them- awesome.

[huntyyy]

They broke up again, unfortunately. They only got back together for 2012
