Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

Probably needs Depeche Mode in there though.

Nice try Will but we know you listen to about five new albums a year and the rest of the time it's Muse and your dad's CD collection.

Actually yeah I was just thinking of the top 4 really. St. Vincent's album was actually one of the 5 albums I listened to last year, though! I even own the album - gone wild!

[Mouseboy11]

Hopefully Deftones are back at reading with their new album

Are they due one this year?

[Mezhyp1]

Are they due one this year?

Yes supposedly the songwriting is finished and the recording is due to start soon, hopefully they showcase it at reading

[Dead throne]

Won pair of tickets for Clean Bandit on Thursday woo

[Gucci Piggy]

Ah Deftones can be the Metallica sub.

2009 - 5th down

2011 - 4th down

2013 - 3rd down

2015 - 2nd down

[mrtourette]

If they haven't started recording yet I think it's more likely they'll be doing festivals to support it in 2016.

[Gucci Piggy]

They're doing Rock in Rio. Good enough for me.

[TheSilence]

To be fair, if they did play again after another release they would probably be due a sub slot. Assuming the album does well that is.

They could headline NME against Libs though I reckon.

[rawaudioinput]

Deftones in a tent would be fantastic even if half empty

[dentalplan]

Half empty? I would think they're too big for the NME. They're on the verge of arenas really. Not the sort of band that gets booked for the NME stage anyway.

True, but they're not really that popular with th. R&L clientele. They had a pitiful crowd at Leeds in 2013. It's like Black Stone Cherry are an arena band, but they'd play to a half empty NME tent (granted Deftones will be a bit more popular than BSC at R&L, but it's the best comparison I could think of off the top of my head). I still think they'd be 3rd down if they play, but I just can't think of a Metallica sub (and my suggestion wasn't even serious).

on the verge of arenas!? really?! i'd think they've got more of a cult following these days than a major following - although yeah, definitely not an act to be booked for the NME stage. lost and under appreciated on the main stage forever

Yeah somebody said that their academy-ish shows sold out in a minute or two but I think I read that off someone else and never checked it.

Ah I didn't know they pulled a poor crowd. Particularly before SOAD it's not a good sign.

I think headlining NME they would still pull a big crowd, and it would be absolutely epic, I wouldn't consider them too big to headline it but think they would be perfect for it

[Hawky]

People would But tickets just to see Deftones in a tent. It would be amazing.

I'd like to see BMTH sub Tallica

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah but it was in the most horrendous weather conditions I've ever seen at a festival. My group were considering not going to Frank Turner because it was that bad, until I convinced them otherwise. I'd say that anyone other than actual fans of the band would have been put off by the weather, so that there were no casual attendees.

By the end of that evening I was probably more miserable than I've ever been in my life. Staying out in that to watch Green Day instead of CHVRCHES and Crystal Fighters was an abysmal decision.

[Hawky]

They could stay third down...

Metallica

BMTH

Deftones

Rise Against

I remember the weather being really bad but it didn't stop Deftones putting on one of the best sets of the weekend and it was just mainly being fans of the band (made it better though personally)

Metallica

BMTH

Deftones

Rise Against

BMTH aren't a sub and Rise Against are playing Download so I doubt they'll play R&L

Edited January 27, 2015 by justanothername

[kemosabe]

I agree Green day over Chvrches was a shite decision as I made the same one. Being soaked through and bored is unfortunately what I remember most from green day!

[Bisque]

Won pair of tickets for Clean Bandit on Thursday woo

Enjoy

[Hawky]

If Jake Bugg can sub- BMTH can, especially after another successful album.

When I listen to drown, I can't help but think it'll top Sempiternal; if it does, I wouldn't be surprised to see them headline festivals in 2016.

[Gucci Piggy]

The next time someone uses Jake Bugg as the reason an act who aren't big enough to sub can sub I'm turning up at their house and taking a shit on their floor.

Jake Bugg is a more suitable sub than Bring Me the Horizon. Fucking hell.

[Hawky]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Youre funny.

[Hawky]

I thought they were fourth down in 2013. But still, if they their new album blows them up as much as Sempiternal, we will see what happens.
