Best Year For Headliners in Practice

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'm not a fan of Kasabian particularly but both times I've seen them they've been fantastic.

2008 all three were great, (only going off response of my group for the killers cos I went to see the manics) but Metallica and rage were both great.

I would say 2012 did the best for headliners over all the stages. Foos, Justice, The Cure Kasabian, Feeder, Less than Jake and at the drive in. There was something for everyone! First time I properly went in the FR tent I loved it. Feeder and The Subways sounded amazing in there.

Even though they were the two acts i thought would be the best going into each festival i found both muse and foo fighters to be disappointing. Foos dragged out their set too long for me, couldn't help but think if they did an hour an half to 2 hour show it would of been far better.

Plus although they may not be the best headlining indie live act, kasabian are still pretty good live and think they get some quite undeserved criticism on here just cause their laddish.

Kasabian put on a sensational light show when I saw them at the O2 and at Reading last year, as well as (in my opinion) some brilliant music.They always generate a fantastic atmosphere too. It's pretty much unquestionable that they're a good band to see live whether you like them or not

I can guarantee it is questionable.

I remember that way back in 2006, Pearl Jam, Franz Ferdinand and Muse all went down very well with the crowd. In fact, there was a bit of an uproar over Franz being picked to headline, in the style of Arcade Fire in 2010 ("They're just not big enough!") and they completely won everyone over. I didn't see their whole set though, as I was busy watching a very good Primal Scream performance in the tent.

2011.

[Tobieski]

I thought it was pretty rubbish & not worthy of a festival headline set.

[alex28]

2008 every headliner smashed it. also i agree that 2011 they were all brilliant too

[lightning1000]

2005 was the last year for me all 3 were amazing.

[Duff Man]

Was very confused about this until I realised being at Leeds in 2011 meant you're considering Pulp being a headliner rather than the Strokes. The Strokes were awful, Pulp were awesome, so yeah, I can go along with that.
