Reading and Leeds Thread 2012After Melvin's promise of 'fantastic' bands I've been persuaded into going to Leeds again...
Are you going?
Who do you predict will play?
Who do you want to see?

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012I'm debating it, although the rain and mud really ruined last year for me, plus the fact that almost everyone there was about 15/16! But if the line up is actually as amazing as they're saying it's gonna be I could be persuaded..

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012As soon as we came back from Leeds 2011 we've been planning to go to 2012! I would say the music is about 80% of the festival experience though. I realllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hope Noel Gallagher (unlikely) Greenday (possible) and The Blackout (almost certain) are gonna play!

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012The Cure and Foster The People have been added to the rumours and both Kasabian and Foo Fighters are 'TBC' Read post #5...
http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/t...-foo-fighters/
I know what you mean, I don't mind younger kids going after all I was 16 when I first went, but I at least knew a lot of the acts playing that year. I heard someone basically say (in 2010) 'I only know Dizzee Rascal and Pendulum'. I don't understand why they don't just go to V or something instead....(Original post by -ally)

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012Got my ticket in the presale
BTW the "leaked" line ups are completely fake, lead singer of Slipknot confirmed on Twitter they're not playing R&L. - slightly relieved because the leaked lineups have been crap.
Foo Fighters are definitely playing. Green Day are heavily rumoured and I'm indifferent. As are The Killers and Kasabian -_-
My predictions:
Bloc Party (currently recording an album)
Foals (also in the studio)
The Hives (possibly, they're another band in the studio)
Arctic Monkeys (maaaybe)
Blur (reforming for Brits and Hyde Park gig so relatively likely, but Hyde Park gig could be exclusive)
Howler
Bombay Bicycle Club
Two Door Cinema Club
Metronomy
Tribes (bands that play the NME awards tour that year usually play R&L)
The Black Keys
Queens of the Stone Age (releasing an album this year, played Glasto last year so not too sure) -

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012nice predictions, im definitely rooting for the black keys to play. was hoping for blur too but it's been announced that Hyde park is their only major gig which is disappointing :[[(Original post by flume)

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012It's gonna be top. I hope we get decent nme tent acts(Original post by Swell)
Well that lasted long, Blur have been removed and The Cure have been moved to 'TBC'.
Can't complain with Kasabian, The Cure and Foo Fighters!

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012Black Keys are now a TBC too!(Original post by Nibz93)
Kasabian, Foo Fighters and The Cure would be awesome headliners. Even two out of the three would be good enough.
Really hoping Black Keys will be there, fingers crossed as they're "strong rumour".

Re: Reading and Leeds Thread 2012Yes! This line up is looking awesome so far! Bring on Monday!!(Original post by Nibz93)
That's fantastic!
Also (as your TSR pic would suggest) you might be pleased to hear that Vaccines are a strong rumour now too
