JTed Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Kasabian haven't been mentioned and it has been 4 years since they headlined reading. I'm not sure what their current situation is but could they be a potential long shot for the final headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I don't think we'll be seeing Kasabian anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are incredibly slim, maybe 2017 or 2018. I think the pool of potential headliners ranging from most likely to least goes: Kanye, Muse, Biffy Clyro, Radiohead, Guns n Roses, Stone Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyChorizo Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 don''t really know why i'm getting down voted for being disappointed that arctic monkeys won't be playing. anyhow i would like to see either muse, blur or maybe radiohead announced for the final headliner.

But Neil did say on the Glasto headline forum that Muse definitely are not headlining R&L this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there were rumours that Radiohead would play instead. I reckon that makes Kanye much more likely then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding this third headliner thing really interesting after the past couple of years when we've known or pretty much known quite early on. Seems like it could be a real surprise. Aye until it ends up being Biffy :P I'd be interested to know how confident @eFestivals is that it isn't them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd be more likely for Bestival if they aren't at Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTed Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 If you look on the penultimate page of the 'headliners 2016' forum he says he knows they're not headlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no idea at this point. It'll probably be someone we've not even mentioned on here That's impossible, gazza has mentioned every band on the planet at some point in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't mentioned Depeche Mode, I don't think anyway In all seriousness who could it be? I said it before,with regularly active UK based bands word usually gets out, too many people are in the know and some people whisper. non-UK based bands are a little harder to be solid on because obviously less people here are in the know. If it is a UK based band things are so quiet at this point that it's either a reformation or someone pretty under the radar, not regularly touring and/or headlining festivals here. For the bands that would be certain headline sized reunions Morrissey or Weller I couldn't see working with their old bands, leaving Oasis but Noel is active and successful. Under the radar, Depeche Mode are headers everywhere they play, certainly fit a profile pretty much exactly like The Cure. Nothing much comes out of camp blur until they're ready for it to come out. The Stone Roses are not being claimed as T UK exclusive and again their camp isn't leaky. Radiohead nothing comes out until they're ready. Can't think of anyone else offhand who fits that profile. Other than that line of thinking I am perplexed. Edited February 8, 2016 by Chr1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelemon Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Kasabian don't seem to be doing owt but maybe they'd make a one-off appearance if R+L are really struggling for another headliner as I'm sure they'd play if they were needed. Get them in, supported by The Strokes, and I think it would be a universally popular announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelemon Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Also, does anyone see M.I.A. making an appearance at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr1s Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 KOL were actually excellent at Leeds that year although I seem to remember Caleb seeming genuinely pleased that black thumbnail, the bucket, etc went down better than those couple of certain Only By The Night songs, they were quite the opposite at Reading.
