[jump]

Haha I've heard good things about his recent tour surprisingly.

I'll believe it when I smell it.

[Gucci Piggy]

That why I think a slot lower than 3rd would be a waste, rather they headlined the nme oppisite eminem.

[thetime]

That'd be pretty perfect. Brilliant when I saw them at HMV Institute last year.

[ghostsIV]

Would love Manson to play on the Eminem day but think it would be a massive gamble for the festival even if his live performances are getting better!

[ladbrokeboy]

Anyone else think it might not be biffy announced tomorrow? I think they will have more chance of selling tickets if they announce biffy in march. People who have seen them on their tour might want to see them again?

[ghostsIV]

Think they will announce roughly the same amount they did last time tbh, purely to try and save as many for a March announcement like they normally do. Hope there is more though!

I'm going for...

Biffy Clyro (Headliner)

Bring Me The Horizon (NME Sub)

Miles Kane

A$AP Rocky

Palma Violets

Pure Love

[Lithium05]

Manson? He was fucking awfull when I saw him with Rob Zombie a month or two ago.

[Tolnai Soma]

Biffy Clyro/Mumford & Sons co-headlining on Friday at Reading would be extremely appreaciated. Also expecting for Bloc Party, Foals, Django Django and Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well.

[gittinsell]

It'd be awesome if we got Manson on Eminems day

[Matt42]

I really think reading have their shit together this year.

They really know what they are doing, and it's all been pretty easy for them. Maybe because last year was a success!

Anyway, biffy are headlining, I don't think they've quite sorted their third headliner yet!

i think the specials are a possibility, maybe not for tomorrow's announcement but in the foreseeable future.

Also expect foals and django.

I don't geddit, why do people not think that Biffy should be given a shot at headlining/don't deserve it.

They're about to embark on their 2nd arena tour (more or less sold out), have been subbing major festivals (iow/download) and even headlined soni (smaller but still). also they have an album that just hit #1.

Does everyone expect headliners who have previously headlined or play gigs in stadiums? its ridiculous to say the least and bands should be given a chance to prove themselves at the top instead of recycling the same old bands every 3-4 years. for example MCR were given a shot at it, didn't get a huge crowd but their performance was top notch. same could be said for Arcade Fire - not the hugest crowd but had a great gig.

opinions please.

I find the smaller headliner bands normally put on a much better show because it means something to them. MyChem blew The Strokes and Muse out of the water in 2011.

[robMUFC96]

would love to Courteeners and Miles Kane, if only for the possibility of this happening

it'll swing one way or another, if they play a good set then they'll have deserved it, if they don't then they probably won't headline again. Very much in their hands how it goes down. I for one would like to see a slightly bigger band headlining, but whatever. can't be too picky

so which bands are "slightly bigger" than biffy at this current moment in time.

disregarding those not touring and those who are playing elsewhere you have slim pickings. they are one of the biggest british bands around at the moment that potentially fit into the "R&L category".

besides its probably who was available when they were booking headliners, who they could potentially push up to headliners... blah blah blah

besides last time they played at reading (not sure about leeds) in 2010 their crowd was huge.

besides no one knows who the 3rd headliner is, that act could be huge for all we know. plus eminem technically is huge so i don't really see a problem. can't please everyone though can they
