2013 Lineup

[Vacant0]

Any chance of Slash being booked for next year? Headlining the 2nd stage at DL this year, where abouts do you think he would play at R&L? 3rd/4th down?

[Vieuphoria]

Agreed. He does play stuff by them though which is good

[sjseabass]

When do the headliners get booked do we reckon? Some time in the summer the year before? Only I think Bloc Party headlining next year is entirely dependent on the success of their next album, which is looking like it won't be out until the autumn. Would they be booked anyway in the hope it's massive? Could backfire like MCR (arguably) did - if Killjoys had been as successful as Black Parade there would have been fewer complaints...

Ideally they'd want some sort of 'sub if album is middling, headline if it's great' deal but I don't see how that would work, really.

[rug568]

Thinking about future years:

2013:

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Blur

2014:

The Prodigy

The Killers

The Stone Roses

2015:

Elbow

Arctic Monkeys

Metallica

[sjseabass]

I can't see Stone Roses will be still around by 2014. I think they would do well to get to 2013 without imploding.

I don't think Elbow will ever reach headline status at R/L. I think they could do it at glasto, but never at r/l.

[Babyquack]

Thinking about future years:

2013:

Biffy Clyro

Bloc Party

Blur

2014:

The Prodigy

The Killers

The Stone Roses

2015:

Elbow

Arctic Monkeys

Metallica

Bloc Party and The Killers are interchangeable. And if The Libertines reform I'd slot them in for Bloc Party, on either year.

If The Stone Roses don't last till then, move Metallica to 2014 and swap The Prodigy for The Black Keys.

I've thought this through too much, I know. It's a miserable day.

Also, I hope White Lies to be headlining by around 2015

[LondonTom]

errr 2015? you guys know we have't had the fest this year yet ?:

I wish I hadn't started this now, because TDCC being predicted for 2014 pains me, a lot.

[thetime]

I wish I hadn't started this now, because TDCC being predicted for 2014 pains me, a lot.

[gazza_20]

I agree with both those points. My guess would be:

2013

Biffy Clyro

The Prodigy

The Stone Roses

2014

The Killers

Someone getting the push - Two Door Cinema Club / Vaccines / Black Keys

Metallica

2015

Someone else getting the push - might not even be anywhere near headlining anything at the moment

Radiohead

Oasis, maybe? Probably more like for V, though

[Gucci Piggy]

Why? fantastic band, if there second album does well they will be high main stage 2014.

[gazza_20]

Just really don't like them to be honest. I'd much rather The Black Keys or The Vaccines from that prediction.

[Dead throne]

Half optimistic, half expectant.

[Vacant0]

Bring Me The Horizon would be higher

Frank Turner would definitely be higher up..

[Martino231]

Is FR being announced tomorrow?

[Dan R]

Is FR being announced tomorrow?

[Martino231]

No, the NME announcement was meant to be tomorrow but there was a cock-up and it got announced last week instead. FR won't be announced for another few months yet, as they want to book the most current and relevant acts they can apparently, so leave til the last minute.
