'I made a mistake by booking the biggest evil dictator, rather than the best evil dictator'

[DL50]

Who does everyone think would be the biggest (semi-realistic) curveball R&L could pull with the third headliner? RHCP despite 2007? Green Day despite their Emirates gig? Coldplay despite their poppiness? Noel Gallagher despite his lower status? Mumford despite their Canadian gig? Spector despite their lower status? Jimi Hendrix despite the fact he's dead? Hitler despite the fact he's not a musician?

[DL50]

But no seriously i think Green Day would be a huge curveball, much more of a risk considering Billy Joe's rehab and how shit their album trilogy was

However i am sick and tired of the Green Day rumour every fucking year

I think Rage Against The Machine are the most likely candidates

[K126]

Jimmy Eat World have been added too, hopefully Hitler and JEW wont clash.

[VCK]

Bit of a long shot, but what about Ice Cube for the Eminem day? Maybe 4th or 5th on the Main Stage?

[Andy0808 v3.0]

If Travis can headline Reading, so can Coldplay haha.

[jump]

That's a strange act to wish for. Doesn't he act full time now? He wouldn't be anywhere near that high though. And I'd be surprised if there was another hip hop act on Eminem day.

[PDAD]

Dave Grohl has said he'll be starting work on a new Foos album this week so i imagine they will be back in about 2015/16, as ever...

[the wonderwhy]

I think Wu Tang are more likely to play a different day.

On the first year of a hiphop/grime stage, they're not going to fill the main stage with that genre.

[seanthomason123]

Do people think the line up will be released on March 4th?

[Luke Routledge]

Do people think the line up will be released on March 4th?

[ladbrokeboy]

possibly 4th march, i was half reading facebook last night and came accross a post that said line up released 11th March , then re-read it and realised it was the leeds festival fans page and they said they only guessing it that date

[Com Truise]

I think it will be the 11th. Was the 12th last year.

[the wonderwhy]

They should do it on a Tuesday, just to spice things up

[Com Truise]

But R&L announcements are what make Monday's worth living for

[dip]

I'd like it on a Thursday. Thursday could do with a perk

[thelionsmouth]

Think Green Day and RHCP would be terrible.

Can see Eminem having some sort of guest. Along the lines of Dre or someone similar.

[ladbrokeboy]

d12 will be early on nme without a doubt,

[ladbrokeboy]

I don't reckon so this year. A lot changed with D12 didn't it? There's only Eminem and a couple of others left.

[The Placid Casual]

It'd be cool if they announced 2/3 bands every week. For peace of mind, or does that take away the excitement of announcement day?
