Reading/Leeds headliners?

Travis - who seem incapable of playing in the outdoors without bringing along their very own weather system - played most of the large festivals last summer to a good reception.

Manic Street Preachers - they famously took their own portaloo to Glasto '99 (having turned down a very healthy wedge to play Reading/Leeds instead, apparently). Now with mega-band status, and probably with an even bigger wedge for this year, we're wondering if they now have their own personal bottom-wipers especially for festivals?

Eminem meanwhile, having had to pull out of last years show, looks set to make it this year. Marilyn Manson is telling anyone who'll listen that he'll be joining Eminem onstage in the UK this summer. So it must be true!

Other bands being rumoured include our hot tips of Garbage, Ash, Muse and JJ72 .
