I thought QOTSA would sub the Pyramid this year, and was wrong so hopefully they will do it in 2014.

In terms of bands that are around during Glasto-time (i.e. European festival circuit), next year isn't looking too bad. Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, Pixies, The National etc.

Of course whether any of those will play is a different matter.

They were incredible at Birmingham last week. Would definitely pull off the headliner slot. With the added exposure of a headline slot at Reading or a sub slot at Glastonbury (other header would be amazing again but I reckon subs get more tv exposure), I can see them being undeniable headliners in the future. If it's ever gonna happen it'll be in the next year or two though.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

They were fantastic at Wembley this weekend but I think it'll be Reading & Leeds headline spot for Homme & Co this year. I'm not so sure you'll ever see QOTSA headline the Pyramid to be honest. Time will tell.

Glasgow was also superb. Brilliant setlist

[RichieSpenno]

Seems they were on form at a lot of shows. I was at Birmingham. Fantastic.

Hope to see them sub G.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

I almost don't want them to return because they were so brilliant last time and some things should just be left be y'know.

They absolutely tore that other stage a new one.

I saw them at Wembley last weekend, and am subsequently even more gutted to have missed them in 2011 now!

[Wooderson]

Have they not already headlined Reading or am I mistaken?

no they subbed to Guns N Roses in 2010 (and Rage Against The Machine in 2008) but they haven't headlined

It was tallica not Rage on the day they played I thought? May be wrong.

Nah it was tenacious d under metallica and queens subbed ratm, though they were pretty dull that year!

[Lubic]

Queens were really poor at Leeds 08. The sound didn't help mind, and there was a huge crowd clearly just waiting for Rage. It actually put me off the band until I saw them at reading on tv a couple of years later, and then that fantastic Glasto set in 2011.

[CHRLY]

Saw them first at glasto 2011, wasn't really that familiar with them at that time but still the best act of the weekend IMO, become one of my favorite bands since then and they were amazing in manchester last week, one of the best gigs I've been to

[Porcelina]

I will never understand what people see in them, they put on a strong live show and have a few fun singles but that is completely offset by the torrent of **** throughout the bulk of their albums. They're so cripplingly boring at times it hurts.

I've seen them three times and they'll always draw a crowd and put on a show, but headlining festivals is the step up they'll never take until they 'do a Blink-182' by splitting for a few years then dubbing it a reunion.

[Wooderson]

Cripplingly boring yet you persist in seeing them multiple times.

I thought they were poor at Leeds 08 but my chums all said they were grand..

[rjb94]

It was watching them at Reading in 08 on the telly that got me into them - the version of Go With the Flow they did is pretty amazing...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XApnUQ-7bMI

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Josh said in an interview afterwards that the Reading 08 set was "esoteric". Personally I loved it, equally as good as RATM that night

I think they got slammed for that set on other forums and also maybe this forum too. I thought it was a pretty good set, though my weedy 17 year old frame couldn't take the ridiculous surges from the crowd.

[Wooderson]

"Regular John", "Wolf", "Headache". Setlist was ace at Reading '08.

[evilduck]

I liked Reading 08, but the crowd was mentally packed out for RATM

[Ed209]

I liked Queens at Reading too. As Wooderson's pointed out, it was a great setlist, was a very stripped back show too. Probably the moodiest set I'd seen from them. Had a real dark groove to it.

[Mardy]

I've always steered clear of them as I thought I wouldn't like them. But Josh Homme was superb on Marc Maron's WTF podcast a while back. Really interesting and comes across as a thoughtful, intelligent guy. Love the stuff about the vast emptiness of the desert influencing his sound. Fabulous stuff.

That was the point he came clean about suffering from MRSA. Homme's the last great rock star lads.

Lou Barlow on yesterday WTF, not listened to yet, but looking forward to it
