Lineup 2016

[LondonTom]

royal blood and foals will inevitably headline one day

Why inveitably? Both bands could in theory release a shit album next or people stop liking them as much as they just get bored of it.

Or just do way to much coke and spend 10 years fucking around, until they reform and then headline

[dentalplan]

Both bands already released a shit album and people loved it.

[TheSilence]

Royal Blood are the most limited band I've ever come across tbh. Don't really think their popularity could go any further unless they come up with something a bit different.

Well shit to the masses

(Besides that not true of Foals )

[DGrant261]

Thoughts on Catfish? Will they do a Pigeon Detectives and disappear after album number 2? Or maybe stick around the middle of the lineup for a long time like the Cribs? They could possibly do Kasabian and become headliners after album 3/4 but I think it's unlikley? Tricky band to predict in my opinion.

In contrast BMTH, Royal Blood and Disclosure will all reach headliner level with their next albums I think.

[Gucci Piggy]

Catfish will do a Pigeon Detectives.

[dentalplan]

Bit too much of a cult fanbase and can't see what they do translating to big outdoor stages.

[dentalplan]

Razorlight headlined, mind.

[The Placid Casual]

I bet shit went down when they were announced

[justanothername]

Remember when The Pigeon Detectives were a guaranteed future headliner?

I remembered when I used to like them

Also it is hard to tell if a band is going to headline after only one album as anything could happen between then and the their next album

[FloorFiller]

I bet shit went down when they were announced

i wish i was part of some kind of forum when they were first announced. i mean, Chili Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins were the other two, so pretty good going there, but i bet the outrage to Razorlight headlining was phenomenal

Kinda my point:

royal blood and foals will inevitably headline one day

other than those two there's no one who can be guaranteed as a 'future headliner'

[kaosmark2]

Chili Peppers so pretty good

Sadly not.

Joke about the terrible RHCP set aside, noone really cared. Everyone accepted they were a big band, and we were all too busy masturbating over NIN, Arcade Fire and Smashing Pumpkins to moan about one shit headliner.

[FloorFiller]

never has my love for a band been thwarted as fast as it was for the Chili Peppers at that festival. apart from when they released the new awful album i don't think i've willingly listened to them once since

but yeah, some great acts that year, although i didn't go and see 1. Arcade Fire OR 2. Smashing Pumpkins because 1. i am an idiot and 2. my girlfriend was tired and made me go back to the tent after NIN. that bitch

[kaosmark2]

I just wandered off after about half an hour of RHCP being shite and went to watch UNKLE in the dance tent. Great decision.

I can see them becoming more of a Courteeners, a core die-hard following that allows them good slots but still the majority don't like them.

[Tobieski]

2007 was the reading I wish I could've gone to

[Gucci Piggy]

Is that because Red Hot Chili Peppers played and you like Red Hot Chili Peppers and think they are a good band

[Bisque]

Please don't tell me that 'supposedly' is based on what Couchy said.

I can't help what both the bassist, his dad & the Chris told me... I just passed on the info. No sodding free O2 tickets to any of their shows but managed to get Virgin box seats

[Bisque]

That's the Reading I missed out on for a lads holiday to Puerto Banus. The line up was atrocious at the time, perhaps now... hmmm, I'd still struggle. I do remember Kate Nash played though without looking.

Congrats.

Look at the atrocious highlights, apart from the obvious Razorlight headlining, The View headlining the tent? Brand New into Ash on the Friday? LCD/NIN clash?

[Bisque]

Congrats.

I'm patting myself on the back. They probably weren't if someone had said they were subbing & then got knocked down a peg. I won't bother what they mention from no on as they all obviously lie.

Fuck you tourette, I thought you were better than that.

Makes sense, the Cribs/Courteeners esque cult fanbase appears to have been established and that tends to stay for the long haul.
