Lineup 2016

[kaosmark2]

New album is quality. I'd rather these headline than any other new bumped out touted header. Way more deserved than Foals.

Personal tastes shouldn't come into your judgement of whether you think a band CAN headline.

Preferences and logic aren't interconnected for most people.

Also, your tastes suck.

I mean in terms of hard working and all of that, shikari are one of the hardest working bands out there, constantly touring and creating new music and have and put 110% into their live show. And aren't boring like foals.

[kaosmark2]

put 110% into their live show

Derp.

[the wonderwhy]

Imagine Dragons are absolute pish.

Just a shit version of The Killers when they went shit.

[conroy17]

If they can get Bastille in at 3rd down (whom by August will have a 2nd album out I presume), then they could probably get The 1975 to play 3rd down too. They're roughly the same size & fanbase etc etc etc

For the record I think both Bastille and The 1975 are utter swinetripe

[Gucci Piggy]

This is the worst moment in this thread. I still need a shit.

Same could be said about most bands which would include Foals

[Yellow_Fellow]

If Enter Shikari put so much work in why is their output so fucking bad

Your blog.

That was worthy of changing to full version of to upvote.

[DGrant261]

I've heard the opposite. Great live but it is still shit music

Yeah. I hate both Imagine Dragons & 1975 but somehow ended up seeing both at Leeds (I need new friends)

Imagine Dragons were far superior of the two live.

[stevieg1993]

Really don't think foals don't have the pulling power quite yet. Future headliners quite possibly but need some more growth yet. Only couple yrs they were playing sugarmill in stoke. Get a successful arena under their belt and not meaning half empty and all curtained off. Doesn't even have be completely sell out just enough pulling power and won't look embarrassing like vampire weekends arena tour.

So I'll go

Florence and the machine

Imagine dragons

Frank turner and the sleeping souls

Blur

Stereophonics

Foals

Foo fighters

Prodigy

You me at six

[JSmurphy]

Can't see Foals playing 3rd - they played that slot in 2013 and if they get an album out before 2016 I think they'll sub at least, possibly headline. Similar with You Me At Six, played 3rd in 2013 and as far as I know they don't have any plans for a new album. If their next album is popular I reckon they'll sub on their next appearance (heaven forbid). Florence / Blur / Foos would be pretty sweet though.

[conroy17]

There's a 99.999% chance Stereophonics will never play R&L again.

Thankfully.

[stevieg1993]

There's that many upcoming bands who are peacking right now its hard do a realistic list :\

[stevieg1993]

Why won't they play again?

[stevieg1993]

I went in 2013 as well forgot they played third

Alright then

Foals subbing blur

Then Brendan flowers from the killers 3rd :\

[stevieg1993]

If not Brendan flowers then the return of bloc party

[conroy17]

Stereophonics aren't really relevant to the R&L demographic anymore

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Stereophonics aren't really relevant anymore

[stevieg1993]

The reason a put them there was to have abit of the British 'lad' scene there. Would love a good old greatest hits set from the phonics just before blur

Getting YM@6 3rd down again I think is a bit wishful thinking, they'll sub on return. As said Stereophonics won't play, Imagine Dragons will sub I'd say. Blur is one of my thoughts, not enough at the minute that I'd stake it, same as Flo. I'd be willing to say though if Flo headlines then Foals won't.

[stevieg1993]

Dont think it would bomb like nine inch nails did at Leeds ( unfortunately).

Yeah in my prediction I put Blur subbed by Foals but it all obviously depends on Foals' next album. Also if Blur play Glastonbury I can only see one of their headliners being grabbed which would rule out both Blur / Foos. Nothing concrete which says R&L can't book both (they'd both be strong bookings) but I can't help but feel they'll not borrow from Glasto too much.
