2013 Lineup

[thewayiam]

Why do people keep suggesting that The Prodigy are a sub headliner band.....seriously.

If they are to play they will only headline.

Good news about Biffy if true... Biffy and Eminem..shaping up nicely at the top end of the lineup =)

[jump]

They subbed in 2009 with a really popular new album out. Subbing will be the default position for them and headlining would be a bump up. It's not like they've grown in popularity that much since 2009, if at all

[allan14]

Because they are a solid sub band at a festival the size of R&L here. They headlined Download which is a smaller festival. They were happy to sub off of Invaders Must Die, they have nothing new stable that bumps them up.

I think Prodigy have to be headliners

One of the main reasons they subbed in 2009 is because they had whored themselves out to the festival scene; they played at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Download and Reading and Leeds.

As an exclusive they could easily headline though, and there is no doubting that they are big enough, particularly with a new album out

[Yellow_Fellow]

I think they're shite, regardless of her gender. Just my opinion, just can't stand them

fair. But people bringing up her boobs, the fact she's a girl.. what of it? It's not relevant.

[DL50]

This is true to be fair.

Biffy, The Prodigy and Eminem would possibly get me back but that's still two bands that played Download last year, that said, it's part really the same company that booked them as well.

Who would you choose as realistic subs with those headliners?

tho she doesn't really help the feminist cause by flashing her boobs

does she tho?

I've no idea, but a bit of googling gave nothing to suggest she did, apart from a supposed twitter pic she posted but which I suspect is a fake.

[kaosmark2]

You are misunderstanding, it's not sexism directed at her (tho she doesn't really help the feminist cause by flashing her boobs) it's mocking the majority of Paramore fans who like them simply because they fancy the girl singer which was connected to the starting point of why are they popular.

[the wonderwhy]

Realistic options for subs has to be:

Bloc Party

Jack White

The xx

Dizzee Rascal (interesting that not many have mentioned him)

Vampire Weekend (i know loads of people think they aren't big enough but imo they could do it with another good album)

[thetime]

I think Dizzee would play 3rd, done nothing at all to warrant being bumped up since the last time he played.

Terrible taste in music happens regardless of physical attraction.

[thewayiam]

So if they do all do a few festivals next year (T,Glasto,R&L) would that make them a sub?

[thewayiam]

Biffy

Jack White

Yeah Yeah Yeah's

Prodigy

The XX

Deftones

Eminem

Bloc Party

Editors

Not saying that's what it will be, but it looks fairly realistic to me if Biffy & The Prodigy are indeed the other 2 headliners.

[Yellow_Fellow]

The twitter pic is real, she claimed her account was hacked into but she never reported it and some techie has proved the pic was taken mins before it going up on twitter which makes it very unlikely to be a hack job.

[Andre91]

I'm a big Paramore fan

Anyhow, yeah, I think they will headline R&L in the future and they will draw a big crowd.

People dislike them, but why can't these people just say, "Yeah I think Paramore are crap" without bringing Hayley Williams up in some way?

[eFestivals]

but even if it's real it doesn't get to mean that she habitually flashes her tits. I didn't find anything to suggest that it's happened once when on stage, let alone it being regular.
