2013 Lineup

[Hawky]

What about Aerosmith? They have a new album out soon... And they are awesome!

[mrtourette]

Whether a band are awesome or not has absolutely no relevance concerning whether they play or not.

[Vieuphoria]

did with THe Cure

but Aerosmith are a bit poo

[thetime]

Cant see aerosmith fitting in with the usual reading crowd, wait everyone said that about the cure.

Not a fan but would be better than the usual predictable headliners.

Always found it strange having his daughter in there videos being a bit sexual.

True, but there are different degrees. The Cure, GNR and Pixies are are different proposition entirely to Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen.

[mrtourette]

Why you including aerosmith with feetwood mac and the boss? Aerosmith are rocky enough to play download so im sure they could play reading. They wont of course but bit of a strange comparison the springsteen and fleetwood mac.

[ashrichards]

Friday : Linkin Park

Saturday : The Prodigy

Sunday : Green Day / System of a down

Having seen Feeder this year at Reading would like to see some bands like Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and Papa Roach further down the bill.

Just a guess anyways

[DL50]

Dunno how much it's been discussed but i think they absolutely NEED to get Noel Gallagher next year

Sub headliner or maybe even headliner, he could definitely pull it off if he was a festival exclusive, saw him last week in Jersey and he was incredible

[jump]

I don't understand why people keep saying Jack White & Noel Gallagher could be headliners, they only have 1 album and the next year after their tours there will be less intrest in them as this was the 1st chance to see them gone solo.

Sorry to disappoint you mate,[YOU FORGOT TO ADD A SPACE HERE]but there is no chance of Tenacious D ever headlining a major festival. Coldplay would probably result in Melvin receiving death threats, and the majority of people on this thread don't seem to think that RHCP will return.

[Vieuphoria]

We asked Melvin if the Chilis were banned. He said technically no, but he'd never think about booking them again, not for a good long while anyway.

I don't think Jack White could headline

And Noel doesn't just have 1 album he plays some of the most popular Oasis tracks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg8W-DxPZHM

And some of his new songs like If I Had A Gun and Everybody's On The Run went down incredibly well

Sorry but he could definitely headline

[lharris92]

Weezer please.

that is all

[ashrichards]

If the headliners were: Linkin Park, The Prodigy and Green Day.

Who would people have subbing them?

[jump]

They dont just sing songs from the one album though, its not like its the darkness and have one album of material.

Cant see them headline, but if either played they would only sub headline nothing less. Jack white was awsome this summer and would be class, noel gallagher was shit so no thanks.

[2rare2die]

It's nothing to do with how 'rocky' they are.

When one of them headlines R&L then you can point out how strange it is that I've banded the three together, until then they're three older acts that people seem to want but who are completely irrelevant to R&L's audiences, unlike other old bands that have been booked that some use as a counter argument.

"If The Cure/GNR/Pixies can be booked then why can't Aerosmith/Bruce Springsteen/Fleetwood Mac?"

They may all be lumped into the same bracket as old/legends type act by lazy/stupid people but the first three are miles away from the latter three.

[mrtourette]

When and where?
