Why wouldnt they get another chance?

I thought next years headliners were booked already, so they would get next near. The year after Mumfords might take out to do a new album or something. Eventually they would get another chance yeah but I just didnt think it would be in the next few years

[Andy0808 v3.0]

U2 done it, why not Mumford?

Anything can happen in a year, people can pull out so Mumfords could play next year.

[daniel.k]

Yeah true true, with acts now a days who knows. IF mumfords did pull out, whats the chances of one of next years headliners swapping with mumfords? Could that ever happen or would Eavis not do it

[thetime]

The thing is mumford are going to headline all the festivals in the next few years, its going to be harder to miss them than actully seeing them.

One of those bands that could headline all the majors festivals like muse, travis and the killers.

[Com Truise]

I will make it my priority to miss them... Hopefully R&L will think 'fuck it, we don't want them'

Cant see it though, to go all wayiam on you lot I think v next year and finish of at reading in 2015.

[daniel.k]

V and IOW next year, I dont think Reading would go for them though. Would they fit into R&L's demographic...if they even know what it is now

2015 wouldn't be too bad, I'll have just finished my first year of uni and hopefully I'll have some mates who'll be willing to go abroad. As long as it isn't next year, not sure if anyone will go to a Europe fest with me next summer yet

They've gone down well at R+L before.

[Boris The Spider]

One of my biggest surprises in recent R+L headliners was Razorlight.

Yeah, nobody quite knows how that happened. I doubt Melvin even knows why that happened.

As much as I agree with you bud, I reckon they'll need Babel's follow up to play another so quick after, and as I think they hinted at it not long ago, that might not be far off. They will sell out within a few years though. The thing is, it's been proven they can't easily sell out events at £60+ on their own a little bit with T - albeit half a day but that's all you'd get at a big outdoor show of theirs. They wouldn't instantly sell out day tickets at R&L but I can see it happening, know one really sells out instantly at R&L now as however good the headliner is the card doesn't justify itself.

Theres been a few dodgy reading headliners like razorlight, darkness and the strokes.

except for V and IOW aren't going to share the same headers. IOW may with T and maybe Glasto though it's rare but not the same one and T and Glasto essentially pretty much happens.

Reading will not share with anyone except for T - UK festival wise, or if they do, it's silly and strange. V and Glasto won't share either.

You pretty much as this stage could look at T and IOW sharing, T and Glasto almost defo sharing. R&L and T does happen quite a lot, T has been known a fair bit to share a header with T, Glasto and either R&L or V.

[Boris The Spider]

It was nuts one year, Glasto had The Verve & KoL headlining, then at V it was The Verve subbed by KoL.

Ah, I didn't actually remember that V and Glasto had shared as recent as that. In which case, after having a look, although the last 3 times there was nothing, this can't be ruled out. 2004 although T, V and Glasto all had Muse, only Glasto and V had them as headliners.

[thetime]

[quote name="thewayiam" post="4059652" timeV and Glasto won't share either.

[Com Truise]

Is that a new rule? As they have shared headliners before.

have you heard about bjork?

its a new pattern, she must be headlining next year now

Whos bjork? Ssssshhhhh.

[daniel.k]

Yeah exactly who is Bjork, she will never get big

Big enough for me to spend over 90 quid for a bjork ticket in sept....ouch.

Did you tell my sarcasm or not? I know its the lowest form of wit but I like using it
