Lineup 2015

[Yellow_Fellow]

Did they? To headline instead of prodigy?

Where did you learn to read because whoever taught you did it wrong

I was assuming they were asked to headline Soni? If not then they obviously weren't that bothered about getting them

[dentalplan]

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

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

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.

If the Black Leys release another successful album between now and the festival next year, they'll headline.

The Black Keys

The Prodigy

RHCP

[truthpigeon]

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

[PDAD]

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.

[Asdaprice]

Next year will be the best festival in the world. That's all you need to worry about. That's a Melvin guarantee.

[Bisque]

I reckon Mumford & Sons next year, I think they would have done it this year if they were touring

There'd surely be a lot of competition from V for them as well.

[kaosmark2]

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

Two of next year's Download headliners there.

[tyranicide]

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)

[justanothername]

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

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.

Probably a best case likely scenario.

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

[rafflesia]

Why are so many people predicting The Prodigy for next year? (Asking this from pure ignorance)
