Royal Blood

i'd totally forgotten about that. i was kind of expecting the next two headliners to be Mumfords and Libertines, but if this top 10 thing is still true i guess it can't be one of them

If this genuinely holds true for one of the headliners, then we can't have more than one of Vaccines/Florence/Mumford/Libertines can we?

damn it FloorFiller

edit: not Linkin Park

If linkin park are headlining lets get blur as the final headliner

that's never been done before

System are touring too, lets get them on the bill. Jack White can sub blur and placebo can also play!

I'd like to think we might not get Linkin Park at all now

really can't see it being Linkin Park now with Metallica announced (although that said i'm struggling to think who else this top 10 act could be)

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The Black Keys? They had a top ten?

[FloorFiller]

The Black Keys? They had a top ten?

wouldn't have thought they'd be a headliner myself (although the bookers might've thought, like most people, that their new album would take off a little more than it did)

getting one of Glastonbury 2014's headliners and one of it's subs as headliners would seem a bit shite, mind

[#FreeComTruise]

Foals, 30STM, The Strokes, Sabbath, Kanye, Jay-Z, KOL, C&S, Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire, Black Keys, Kasabian, Linkin Park, all had top 10 albums between the start of 2013 and August 2014

[The Placid Casual]

Arcade Fire plz (Glastonbury 2014 hype)

i ruled out the ones i thought are completely unrealistic.....

Id rather LP than KOL on that list...

Foals, 30STM and C+S not big enough.

Kanye and Jay-Z because they don't have guitars and Melv says.

Sabbath and Linkin Park because they won't headline as well as 'tallica.

Then we have The Strokes, KOL, Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire, Black Keys and Kasabian. Optionally remove Arcade Fire and Kasabian because of Glasto if you think that and Black Keys and perhaps the Strokes if you don't think they're big enough.

Basically take them away until you get Pearl Jam.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Are Foals likely to have a new album out by August? Could see it being them sadly.

[the wonderwhy]

Cool Pearl Jam confirmed

No haven't even started writing yet I believe.

Nice try but you have KOL left over too

[lightning1000]

You forgot about kasabian.

[The Placid Casual]

Would Melv really invite KOL back so soon?

(I'm answering my own question by saying yes, yes he would)

[The Placid Casual]

You forgot about kasabian.

Glasto innit

[the wonderwhy]

I reckon Metallica/KOL/Libertines personally

EDIT: But then there's no bump up, hmmm

EDIT 2: Shit, Libertines

Yeah I didn't have a reason except that they're bland and shite so just take them away anyway.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Glasto innit

what about Glasto? Glasto 2014 will be over a year ago by the time of R&L'15, surely with the strength of tickets Kasabian shift then if they can get them they will

For some weird reason I think the libertines may have chosen a lower slot at glastonbury over reading...

Nothing but a hunch, maybe they weren't even asked for reading. I know its the sun but they do have a track record of sometimes knowing and publishing things pretty early.

Two of Glasto's headliners from 2014 headlining Reading and Leeds in 2015? Unlikely

No chance, they'll get offered much more to headline Reading than to sub at Glastonbury
