How about Springsteen? A bit different to your typical R&L headliner, and would put on one of those performances that would go down in the festival's history.

But what's for certain is that Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party and Blur are without doubt R&L bands and huge R&L bands. QOTSA, Mumford & Sons, Pendulum and Dizzee Rascal would also be huge R&L subs. But unless, download suddenly dedide they are willing to give QOTSA a sub spot, Mumford's next album isn't the R&L way, I can't see anything but those 4 being in the sub mix. The only annoying this is with it being 10 years of Bramham Park next year, you can't write off Kaiser Cheifs returning to take a sub spot - and if so, it'd be one of the worst decisions they made.

If Foo Fighters are not telling this festival out yet and are the main selling point by a fair bit, then I can't ever see Pearl Jam doing it again. It's been 6 years and in that time, the fest has changed a lot. I'm surprised we even got the amount of 'heavier' music we did this year.

I don't even know how many people want The Killers back now, they seem so much ore a V band now. I think depending on how Mumford's new album sounds will depend on wether they go from being a R&L band to a V Fest band.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
