2013 Lineup

[Asdaprice]

Are they? Wheres that been said? They were fantastic at Download in 2011 subbing System of a Down.

But had loads of stage show, huge set and tons of pyro, doubt they'd get that at Reading.

I think they could play as low as 4th on main at Reading

[the wonderwhy]

I think The Cure are just as relevant as MBV are.

At least FR must think so, or they wouldn't have been booked to headline.

[constantnothing]

But would MBV want to play R&L in front of a piss-poor crowd or would they rather play the boutique indie festivals that they appear to prefer? The organisers wanting to book them is only half of it.

[mrtourette]

Would ATDI? Though, they aren't so boutique.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Yeah because ATDI were in it for the money. I get the impression that MBV don't give a shit and would quite happily do the arty festivals where they feel more comfortable and get more appreciative crowds.

[mrtourette]

Can they not do both?

[music-fan4]

yeah yeah yeahs have played 3rd twice now, I think they'll sub or won't play.... thoughts?

[mrtourette]

Can't see them subbing, if they're still around come August and are booked then either third again or tent headliners. They played on the back of a pretty high profile single (Gold Lion) last time, can't see that being the case this time.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Huh? Gold Lion was 2006.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Last time would've been Heads Will Roll or Zero. Bangers.

[the wonderwhy]

They played 3rd off the back of two Top 10 albums (Its Blitz & Show Your Bones) in 2006 & 2009. There was also that comment about the new booker guy reckoning they'd have a good year.

They could sub under a strong headliner (Eminem), but they seem to fit in perfectly at 3rd.

EDIT: Incidentally their highest charting single was Date With The Night at 16th, Gold Lion got to 18th

[music-fan4]

maps remains their best track though, zero and gold lion are up there as well, incidentally so is sacrilege, I'm digging the gospel choir atm. I'm hoping for sub would love to see a long set of theres

Ideal saturday mainstage:

Eminem

yyys

Vampire weekend

Foals

Public Enemy

Miles Kane

Tribes

somin like that!

[mrtourette]

Gold Lion and Maps are probably their most well-known songs though (this is based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever).

I definitely think that R&L would try and book them but just can't see them getting the push up to sub.

[music-fan4]

although would love to see jack white sub eminem, won't happen though.

[mrtourette]

I am sure I've heard that in loads of unexpected places but expected places(Football grounds, tv shows etc..)

[PDAD]

I can't see them subbing, but think NME headliners sounds about right for them.

Against Eminem would be great but i've predicted NIN opposite Eminem and YYYs opposite Biffy.

[kemosabe]

what do you guys think of the chances Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros play this year? they be low down NME act right??

There in Europe and England at the end of july and were at Leeds and Reading in 2011?

[mrtourette]

A very pleasant surprise in 2011, unfortunately they're playing with Mumford in Canada the weekend of the festival so very unlikely.

[suckitandsee]

if YYY's headline the tent, I probably wont see them. not good.
