Lineup 2015

[justanothername]

So after reading the article about the headliner that is booked I have been trying to think who it would be

So its not someone we would expect and not a regular - so perhaps good to look at genre

I can't see it being a metal band or pop punk as that is quite 'Reading' so therefore I think it may be either a rapper, Dj or big popstar or big mainstream band

Calvin Harris?

U2?

Jay-Z/Kanye?

Pharell?

Coldplay?(on gigwise they were the first band to come up as possible headliners)

Ed Sheeran (he would be the favourite)

Rihanna?

Beyonce?

No

No

Maybe

No

No

No

No

and....No

But apart from that it seems bang on

Also you were aware that all the acts they were thinking of were guitar bands still and that that regular means they don't play very often, not genre at all.

Baby Godzilla were awesome tonight supporting Feed The Rhino! Not had that much fun in a while so if FR could book them (and Feed The Rhino while they are at it) for next year that'd be great, don't care where they're playing but just get them there

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Maybe it's not some we expect because they split up.

MCR fenna return.

Book it.

[Andre91]

Slipknot.

All R&L headline acts are big and mainstream, you silly billy

Aren't you the guy who was claiming that Coldplay were headlining this year?

You know they played this year right? FR have already 'got them there'.

[Yellow_Fellow]

I hope no one on this forum doesn't know that they played this year

[Triumvirate]

The new Shikari is alright, really liked the start but it doesn't do anything different (reminds me of Common Dreads material)

It has grown on me last few days but they missed a trick not concluding the song with a 15 second heavy bit like the start.

[rawaudioinput]

Klaxons have just split so we can rule out them coming back

[dentalplan]

Sad but probably for the best. Seems they were very much a band of their time and their attempt to adapt was crap. So that's The Rapture, Crystal Castles and now Klaxons - bad year for dance punk fans.

[Yellow_Fellow]

The Rapture broke up!??!?

also their 2nd album was rly good but they deviated so heavily from it on LF it ugh

i really liked love frequency......

such a shame. wish i could see them again but they did say last headline tour, which suggests they might be up for a support slot/festivals

Yeah I meant Love Frequency. I preferred Suring the Void to Myths tbh.

I don't think that's the case seeing as those slots are usually promo for their own shows for most bands.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Didn't get tickets to their tour this year because I thought there'd be other times to do so haha........

[Yellow_Fellow]

There's still tickets innit

[TenInchToenaiIs]

There's still tickets innit

Bristol is sold out tho

[JSmurphy]

Linkin Park

Alt-J

Weezer

Enter Shikari

The Libertines

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Royal Blood

Knife Party

The Prodigy

Kendrick Lamar

Rise Against

Kaiser Chiefs

[lightning1000]

Booooooo

[Matt42]

Terrible, kinda hoping that there are some decent acts that haven't announced tours/new album plans yet that could play.

I think dental argued this before, but it looks like August festivals may be dying out - bands wanna tour at June-July (start of the summer).

[devilman]

INRATS.

Summary please. Who's favourite to headline and who's the forum idiot at the moment? Wouldn't mind a return to Leeds next year.

[Tobieski]

No one is favourite, everyone is an idiot.

[The Placid Casual]

On the bright side... Weezer

[Gucci Piggy]

Dunno who I'd class as favourites, but lots think Linkin Park may do it due to fitting Melvin's clues and supposedly playing a European festival in August.

Matt42 is forum idiot.
