2013 Lineup

[SOAD]

Tool would be an incredible headliner but unfortunately don't see them playing Reading again

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Would Tool headline? I'm not their biggest fan, and they wouldn't draw in the usual crowd... but they don't seem to play anywhere so surely people would flock to that day. I think they're such a hard band to place, surely it'd be day ticket holders who would watch them, and a minority of weekend ticket holders (going by the 'typical' crowd).

[dentalplan]

Wouldn't AC/DC be ruled out because Melvin said in that interview ages ago that all of the headliners have played R/L before in some capacity?

[dart]

Reading Rock 1976! Tea time headliners. Imagine that,

[Superunknown]

Shinedown, Alter Bridge, The Used, Slash (and Myles), P@TD, Cage the Elephant, The Enemy, Maximo Park...any of these would make my festival.

Errrm a little outside the box maybe, but Trent Reznor said in Nov last year (Rolling Stone article I think) that he was working on music with NIN in mind & that he wouldn't be totally against performing live again if it "feels right".

NIN

System of a Down

Deftones

Hell that works for me.

Of those I'd say only the last three are likely. I think CTE will Deffo play mainstage. Maybe p@td but I can't see any of the others. I'd love alter bridge but I don't think they are the type of act R&L books. The other are meh from me.

Well, Deftones were pretty damn good last night, just hope the Leeds crowd is actually up for them this year!

I know this lineup is pretty unrealistic, but could someone just give me some info on which placements are wrong, which acts definitely won't happen, probably won't and also the acts I've put that could happen. If someone could just literally evaluate my whole line up i would love them...

[2rare2die]

Heading up to Manchester tomorrow to see them... can't wait... setlist is looking good as well although gonna miss a lot of White Pony.

[Mouseboy11]

Yeah they did play a fair bit of newer stuff, but we still got Feiticeira, Change and Passanger so it was all good

[SOAD]

I'm really looking forward to Bloody Cape... I think the self titled album is underrated but at least they chose one of the best tunes from it to close the main set...

[Muppetmark]

Fall Out Boy (worst booking ever)

[Asdaprice]

People who go to fests for just one band are too rich for their own good

[Andre91]

Got to agree with Muppetmark, I know a shit tonne of people who are going to Leeds because FOB are there. A lot of people my age (21) are really excited since they 'got back together'. I guess we all wish were 15 again

[thetime]

[Asdaprice]

I think it depends, I went to pukkelpop because bjork headlined. Although there was enough bands I had an interest in to make it worthwhile, I wouldnt of gone if bjork didnt play though. Connect festival was the same.

[dentalplan]

When people say 'I know a load of people going' do they mean the people have actually bought tickets or have just said they're off? I just find it wild that people know dozens of other people that will willingly buy a weekend ticket because of the announcement of one act.

[Andre91]

I meant people have actually purchased tickets, yeah. The announcement of FOB solidified a fair few who were 50/50 about whether to get a ticket or not, and the rest just went online as soon as they were announced. I do agree though, buying a weekend ticket for one band is a little odd, but hey-ho.

It isn't quite the same, but i got a day ticket in 2010 exclusively for Blink, it helped that I liked every band that were also on that day, but they could have announced 9 bands I really dislike and I would have still got the ticket just for Blink.

[the wonderwhy]

When people say 'I know a load of people going just for...' what they actually mean is they know people who have gone 'OMG!!!!! Fall Out Boy are playing Reading!!!!! We should go. OMG!!!! Look at all these other cool bands!!! We're definitely going now!!!'

Nobody would shell out £200 just to see Fall Out Boy play for 50 minutes, then spend the rest of the weekend sat in their tent listening to Fall Out Boy on their iPod.
