The Black Keys to co-headline with someone like Foals

Maybe Reading will have the balls to book the Chilli's if IOW sells well

Florence + The Machine (following the love of female headliners).

Imagine if the co-headline goes down so well this year that they make it a standard thing for the friday night :sarcastic:

I really hope they do away with coheadliners but I think The Black Keys and Foals are nailed on for headline slots the next two years but the likes of The Vaccines and Florence and the Machine could end up headlining too.

I think a lot of people are thinking two of Metallica, Prodigy and Chilis. New albums should be ready by all of them and the last two have barely anywhere else to play.

With the announcement yesterday it seems to have halted Enter Shikari's growth a bit. There was a time where it looked like R+L were carefully easing them up the lineup but they're in the same place as 2012 this year, so that's a bit of good news for the future.

I think Enter Shikari have peaked if i'm honest, and i'm a fan.

I can't see them growing any more than they have.

Chillis I reckon will be the Blink esque headliner next year (divides everyone).

Metallica

Blur

The Black Keys

Metallica will be highly anticipated with a new album, and I think FR at least talked with Damon Albarn and The Black Keys for headlining R + L next year since they just booked them for Latitude this year. I predicted Florence and changed it because I think she will more likely to be at Glasto next year.

Watch The Throne

Skrillex

Two Door Cinema Club

The Black Keys

Foals

Weezer

The Prodigy

The Vaccines

Frank Turner

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Frank Ocean to headline Radio 1/NME

That'd be 800000% better than this year's line-up

Every year is a success and 'goes down so well' according to Melvin and invariably, each year is the best one yet.

In a few years time, Florence or another female fronted band will headline Reading instead of Leeds like Paramore, or a solo artist like Jake Bugg will, in a co-headline scenario and it will be 'something the festival has never done before' yet again in what is surely the best lineup in the world.

I'd say they will play a few shows next year though - not a tour per say though, more just a show here, a show there - only example I can give is like Muse did in 2011. I disagree that there won't be any shows next summer but it won't be a tour if you know what I'm getting at?

A few shows yes, but they won't be in Europe unless a festival they really want to play pays them a stupid amount. US and Canadian bands don't do the odd show in Europe, it hardly ever happens.

Also, I suspect if any festival does pull out the stops to get them over on a near-European exclusive it'll be Bestival.

I honestly don't think bestival could afford them any more. They appear to have outgrown the mid size festivals. I could only see them headlining the major ones now.

I've no idea how Bestival budgets work. They get some stupidly expensive headliners (The Cure on Euro exclusive, Stevie Wonder, Elton John), and some ridiculously cheap (New Order, Fatboy Slim). I think the question on that side is whether they have much interest in playing it.

They're too big at the moment. Bestival have much more to focus on than headliners, unlike most of the other major festivals.

Maybe in ten years' time.

Metallica

Skrillex

Bullet For My Valentine

The Offspring

Kendrick Lamar

Two of next year's Download headliners there.

As the 5 year rule is gone, I reckon

MUSE

Skrillex

Mumford & Sons

*rubbish flavour of the month indie band*

Rage Against The Machine/Metallica

Bring Me The Horizon (if their next album is out)

There is no such thing as 5 year rule anymore since Blink-182. Actually, there was no such thing as 5 year rule in the first place.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Pendulum (GONNA HAPPEN PEOPLE!)

Arcade Fire

Frank Turner

The Prodigy

Avenged Sevenfold

Don't think they'll get Skrillex as I can see Creamfields getting him to headline

Probably a best case likely scenario.

However, none of the subs will have released a pop flavour of the month single so fail.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
