2013 Lineup

[Vieuphoria]

They do. The Cure tend to be accepted in to most fan bases from metal to dance and everything in between.

[Mouseboy11]

That's what I find strange do fans only listen to one type of music. Who says fans of the cure done listen to metal and vice versa.

[gazza_20]

I still think that if the organisers wanted SOAD to headline, they would have gone for them last year because of the reunion. But Download we're always going to be favourites to have them. I'd love to see them headline Reading and Leeds, but like people have been saying. they're just not that popular anymore, yet I don't think they would choose to sub at R&L when they could headline Soni or DL.

[gazza_20]

But they ARE there, that's the point.

[gazza_20]

I agree some do, I myself listen to the Cure and metal music, I think we're the minority though. A lot of people do tend to stick to one kind of genre.

[Mouseboy11]

Yeah, I think your point referring earlier to two door is a bit wrong. I listen to the cure, paramore, but then two door and the vaccines and then soad, linkin park and can then go onto chase n status

[gazza_20]

I'm the same mate (minus paramore) but like I said I do think we're the minority.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Look below at the points. Many indie kids and emo's love them. Strangely too, that's what R&L is built on now

[AcademicPistol]

Please tell me you don't seriously think FR book acts off the back of such juvenile demographics as "emo" and "indie kid".

[VCK]

Generally speaking, fans of The Cure tend to be Indie types.

[The Mean Bean]

I don't see Pearl Jam headlining, they're got no big name songs that will mean the kiddies will have heard of them, The Cure and Pulp both have big hits that are relevant to today's indie scene which is what R&L is aimed at. The reaction on the R&L facebook page would be along the lines of "hu da fuk r pearl jam?" etc. That being said, I'd love Melvin to prove me wrong and book them, I suppose if PJ were are possibility then this lineup wouldn't be too implausible;

Pearl Jam

Bloc Party

Biffy Clyro

Dizzee Rascal

Bon Iver

Belle & Sebastian

I threw Belle & Sebastian in there as a little piece of bait to swing it from a lineup that would make me buy a ticket for the PJ day to a lineup that would make me buy a weekend ticket, you're all going to tell me they wont be booked, but stranger things have happened... occasionally.

No, stop trying to be smart.

What a bellend

Virtual Festivals ‏@vf

. @NoelGallagher won't play while the England match is on, therefore tonight's @isleofwightfest set is rescheduled to 6.15pm.

[Vieuphoria]

complete tosser

[gazza_20]

I'll be plain then. That makes much more sense as an NME stage prediction than a main stage one.

[Mouseboy11]

Will never get the fuss over Bon Iver, their music is just really floaty and dull. I'd much prefer someone like Sigur Ros as their music is beautiful and not just depressing.

Don't be silly. Bon Iver are selling arena's out now. They are sub main stage contender's now, I don;t agree but I don;'t like the music.

[thetime]

actually they haven't sold out any arenas yet for their tour. maybe if you did some research before typing stuff like that then it wouldn't make you seem silly. (can still get tickets for all of the dates online via their site )

also they'd surely be more suited to V, because damn their music is garbage

[The Mean Bean]

Can't wait to see them at Latitude, Metronomy then Bon Iver will be excellent. The naysayers may just be eating their words next year, but we'll have to wait and see.
