2013 Lineup

[ladbrokeboy]

Some absolute bell end on the Facebook site:

"Stone Roses should have been one of the headliners, now wouldn't mind seeing Arctic Monkeys headline, or in my opinion the Courteeners are good enough! Certainly better than the Foo Fighters from last year. Acts that should get a spot are The Vaccines again, The View, Beady Eye, Miles Kane, The Libertines, The Enemy, Echo&The Bunnymen who are reuniting to support James, and the Happy Mondays."

*sigh*

More than likely. Someone questioned him about the foo fighters bit and he said he saw foo fighters footage from last year on tv and they just 'make noise'....

[the wonderwhy]

Foos were the 'worst' (least good) headliner last year IMO, purely because I'm not really a fan.

But saying the Courteeners are better than them is the pinnacle of retardation.

[the wonderwhy]

By the way, does anyone know roughly how long it takes for the Volunteering places to get filled up? I'm thinking I'm gonna do that rather than shelling out for a ticket (I'll probably be in a good position for shift swapping given I don't give a fuck about Eminem), but I can't afford the deposit atm

[Luke Routledge]

I think the Klaxons would be a great sub in the NME tent to NIN. Klaxons might be a bit more indie but both have an electric sound. It would also make me very happy!

[mrtourette]

Ah, I didn't realise there was a second stage. The fact that they're below The Cribs still though suggests they may play in a lower position to last time, although I guess they may be more popular at R&L

Does that mean there's more to be announced then?

[jump]

Yeah, they've headlined the tent the last two times they've played R&L but playing below a band that only subbed it last year may suggest that they'd be lucky to get that sort of slot again.

As for HRC I'm struggling to remember but last year I think they had five bands on the main stage (KIGH, Black Stone Cherry, that Aussie band, Iggy Pop and Soundgarden) and three or four on the second as well as a small third stage so yeah I'd say that there's more to come (although no big acts).

the best way to pass time on this forum is to argue about bands. yesterday it was RHCP in the hot seat. Today I feel we should discuss.......Avenged Sevenfold. And to make it relevant, they are playing fests later this year. could they play reading oooh you decide.

I'm not sure Avenged will headline Download, the same has been said about Machine Head & Bullet For My Valentine plenty of times before. It seems to me they are fan favourites who just get hyped up alot.

Just realised we were blessed with no Enter Shikari last year, Does that mean they are likely to fill up another good slot at R+L this year?

They did play last year.

[seanthomason123]

They'll play again this year, 100%

[Weloveyouneil]

O bollocks bit embarresing, phew one worry of my mind.

[seanthomason123]

Even though it's the..7th time? In a row.

[Weloveyouneil]

Haha o ye under The Vaccines

[Weloveyouneil]

Serious nightmare if they take another good slot, might spell the end for me and Melvin.

[thelionsmouth]

really hope Enter Shikari and The Vaccines both don't play. (The vaccines may have already been ruled out but i can't remember)

Edit: Just to add that the Vaccines' second album was absolute shit compared to the first..
