Lineup 2015

[Babyquack]

The Strokes mate, established them as the most boring headliner out there

This. They are the single most boring act I have ever had to watch. I've never forgiven my friends who dragged me there and as we were at the front it would have been too hard to get out to leave half way through!

[rawaudioinput]

This wouldn't be too shabby, which means it definitely won't happen:

Friday/Saturday

Main Stage: The Prodigy // The Libertines // Alt-J // CHVRCHES // Don Broco
NME/Radio 1 Stage: The Gaslight Anthem // HAIM

Saturday/Sunday

Main Stage: The Black Keys // Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds // Lana Del Rey // The Maccabees // Miles Kane
NME/Radio 1 Stage: Sub Focus // Kendrick Lamar

Sunday/Friday

Main Stage: Metallica // Jack White // Enter Shikari // Frank Turner // Royal Blood
NME/Radio 1 Stage: Knife Party // Jamie T

Can't imagine the Libs being subs to be fair

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Can't imagine Reading booking The Libertines tbf

[dentalplan]

Can't imagine Reading getting Jack White. He's not touring solo next year but even if he was I couldn't see it.

Wait, why?

[dentalplan]

Why didn't you quote mine?

I don't think they'd sub either. Last time they got a headliner's fee but a sub slot because of the difficulties the festival would face if they headlined and the reunion went tits up. If they bring out a new album and prove reliable then it'd be better for the festival to book them as headers.

Libs are bigger than sub

[Yellow_Fellow]

Yours is hideously obvious now ):

[Gucci Piggy]

R&L is too corporate for Jack White while the just as corporate Glasto and Rock Werchter aren't

Nah I'm joking I have painfully accepted that Jack hates us and won't play

[mattgimmeshelter]

If Jack disliked Glastonbury I can imagine him walking off stage at reading.

Oh and I reckon the Libertines will get rebooked, I'l keep predicting them until something solid comes that says they won't be doing it.

I reckon if they actually get this new album out - they will be one of the headliners next year.

I'm glad you've accepted what a stupid argument that was.

that's a really dumb thing to do but whatever

How so? Please list a band which are more likely / pretty much nailed on.

We are still at the stage where it could pretty much be anyone, so why not suggest Libertines.

right, because;

"lack of evidence is evidence to the contrary" is a fucking dumb logical stance to hold - you do not hold all the cards, you don't know much about the situation at all, so no

also Please list a band which are more likely / pretty much nailed on. this is a strawman argument please don't do this

and i know we're at that stage - blind conviction is thus dumb as heck

[#FreeComTruise]

How so?

There is no solid evidence that Ke$ha won't headline

Why would he walk off stage? Surely he just wouldn't play in the first place. It's not like he hasn't played Reading before, he knows what to expect.

If Reading dislike broken ribs, they won't book the libs

[mrtourette]

Are you saying that there would be more broken ribs that the last time they played?

[rawaudioinput]

White has walked off halfway through shows before and I can imagine if the audience was disrespectful (chanting Seven Nation Army during quieter ballads as a Reading crowd probably would) he'd leave

But there's a lack of evidence for anyone.

I keep predicting The Black Keys and The Prodigy despite there being no evidence, and will continue to do so until either there's evidence to suggest they won't play, or evidence suggesting other acts are more likely.

I'm pretty sure that's all Matt's saying with regard to The Libertines.

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm glad you've accepted what a stupid argument that was.

Well I still don't understand the corporate argument, but I just don't expect him to play anyway. Could be due to the crowds at R&L, the lineups or anything else.

[Yellow_Fellow]

But there's a lack of evidence for anyone.

Meaning it's stupid to have blind conviction for anyone!!

So there's no point in predicting anyone on the 2015 lineup at all on the "Lineup 2015" thread? Its just a bit of fun, let people predict who they want regardless of whether their arguments are paper thin or not

Not at this point really!
