Lineup 2015

[ToeJaylor]

#MastodonForLeeds

[#FreeComTruise]

They're not a sub at R&L, they'd be playing to a small crowd.

NIN

[Mezhyp1]

I'm srs! Lok at da proof man!

They're not a sub at R&L, they'd be playing to a small crowd. I got really close to the front in 2013 (but then again the weather was extremely bad) and therefore would be a really weak sub

They played third down the last time and they'll be coming back with a new album, and SOAD subbed last time which is about as strong a sub as reading can get, so not sure you're right there

#MastodonForLeeds

Middle of the Main Stage on Metallica day, yes please.

NIN

NIN weren't a strong sub for R&L, if you don't pull in the crowd and sell tickets (but then again most of the people who saw NIN may have bought tickets just for them) then you're not a strong sub, not matter how much I like the band. (No matter how I word this is something doesn't seem right, just gonna leave it)

They played third down the last time and they'll be coming back with a new album, and SOAD subbed last time which is about as strong a sub as reading can get, so not sure you're right there

Why does SOAD subbing have any bearing on Deftones subbing? SOAD were arguably a headliner when they subbed in 2013 and Deftones are no where near that now. Also the I'd have said the popularity has levelled off, they're not really pulling in many new fans and their new album (which no one has really heard much about) isn't going to catapult them into mainstream success (again). Finally just because you played a certain a one year doesn't mean you automatically have to play a higher slot than last time. It'd be better off for Deftones to sub Download and Soni and play their own shows but then again I think they really like playing R&L

They're headlining mate

[ToeJaylor]

They're headlining mate

Hahahaha, I so hope you're right

[ToeJaylor]

Btw don't Mumford and Sons just play banjos?

I'm with you justanothername, Mastodon are headlining!!!!

[conroy17]

I love deftones but I think I'm more likely to sub than they are

[rivalschools.price]

maybe its a three way co-headliner

jake bugg, jake bugg and jake bugg?

Surely, if that happened, someone would be playing above Jake Bugg?

[TheSilence]

Surely, if that happened, someone would be playing above Jake Bugg?

I think Jake Bugg would fit that quite well tbh.

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think Jake Bugg's gonna play 4 consecutive sets.

But Corgan revealed that The Smashing Pumpkins have so far turned down offers to play UK festivals next summer, because they’ve been “disappointing”. Corgan said: “If we get the slots we want, we’ll come. But we’ve seen who else is on the bill, and we’re expected to go on before a band who have had one quasi-hit that’s not even that popular. Sorry, but that didn’t work for me in 1992 and it doesn’t work for me now. The funny thing is, the more that ‘Monuments…’ is kicking in, the more phone calls we’re getting. We’re getting calls asking for us, because they ain’t selling tickets. But how is it that The Smashing Pumpkins still sell tickets, but you’re offering me this poor slot? It’s disappointing.”

What about that suggests he's on about R&L?

[kaosmark2]

Our assumption that everyone talks about these festivals add much as we do

[ToeJaylor]

I hope Jake Bugg plays all three days and then we can rename it BuggFest

[dentalplan]

Nowt. It was just somewhere in UK. Guess it would mean they've either offered them and he's turned it down or they've not offered at all.

[Hawky]

Anyone get tickets for BBC6? They sold out in 3 mins.

[lightning1000]

I don't know why anyone would want them. It's full of radio 1 listeners

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Gorillaz

[Bisque]

Hold it!

Scenes like Chase & Status but people were nice back in 2009.

[ToeJaylor]

That SpottedLeeds account on Twitter has blocked me because I replied to one of their tweets saying that all the sources were eFestivals, ahhhhh Twitter

[Bisque]

Btw don't Mumford and Sons just play banjos?

YOU'VE GIVEN ME A BLOOD CLOT... ON ME BRAIN!!!

[tyranicide]

Where would Gorillaz play? Surely they're to big for NME. Are they even the right fit for the festival anymore?

[justanothername]

YOU'VE GIVEN ME A BLOOD CLOT... ON ME BRAIN!!!

But do they use 9 string guitars tuned to drop Z?

I think they could easily headline
