Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 He also said he likes playing Dead Star...  Indeed he did, and they do play it every now and then as a rarity, something special  Hey, playing albums in full are special rare events!

Dominic. Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I thought after the Olympics they're either gonna reduce the capacity of the stadium or turn it into a football stadium? And considering by that time the club who bought it would probably just have moved in I doubt they'd want a huge gig all over their turf EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86DVLnN7fuE 4:09 Bellamy orgasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I guess you get gigs at Wembley, Stadium of Light etc, it's a possibility instead of Wembley depending on the capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the five year gap, there could well be a gig or two . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Who's rumorued for R&L next summer? Foo Fighters, yes, but who else? RHCP, Kasabian and Stone Roses were all rumoured but all aren't happening now (well I'm not sure about Kasabian but they have plans to do stadiums or big shows next summer).

forevermusic Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Green Day? Yeah I've heard GD rumoured. It could be true as they should have a new album out and I'd like that one to be true as I loved their show at Wembley 2 years ago and it'd be nice to see them again (even if I'd probably go for an arena gig instead because I'm a wuss). The Kasabian one - I'm not sure. They've practically confirmed they're headlining Hard Rock Calling Festival and I think they still want to do a show at Leicester City's stadium. But beyond that - who knows, maybe they'll do a Pulp and play both. I thought the Stone Roses would do it to try and seek amends for Reading 96, but they're doing V instead.

WutDaFucksy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How about.... Friday: Green Day, Franz Ferdinand Saturday: Kasabian, Biffy Clyro Sunday: Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy. Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Not too fussed about the headliners, but I'd be dead chuffed if QOTSA, The Hives and Kasabian are there. I'd quite like something properly heavy like RATM, but there hasn't been a band like that there in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'd still bet money on Kasabian. So would I Foo Fighters and QOTSA on the same day? Yes. Wouldn't Dave get a bit knackered though? Dave was only with QOTSA for a few months, although to be honest I could imagine him featuring on a song if both of them were on the same date I can't imagine Green Day being there next year, neither Biffy. I swear Biffy are only just starting on a new album? Kasabian must be almost definite. Foos are pretty strong as well, I think I read that RHCP aren't as likely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frakkles Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Considering how much promotion the new RHCP album got, I would not at all be surprised if they played even in spite of the Knebworth, Croke Park and SoL shows. Taylor said Foo's may play Reading but I'm not 100% convinced myself. They were here last summer so unless they only do the Carling Weekend then I can't see it happening. Green Day are a pretty good shout too. They haven't done Reading in a good while (they never headlined during the 21st Century Breakdown Tour). I can see them being one of the three. Kasabian is an interesting one. I'm not sure they're quite big enough in my eyes to be anything but 'the other headliner' like Strokes were this year. That's no offence to Kasabian but they're not exactly mega-stars, even here in the UK. The Prodigy have been strongly rumoured recently. That'd suck. If I were to have a dream trio, personally I'd like to see Radiohead back so that they at least play a fucking UK show. Slipknot may be an outside shot and that's something different. They dropped out of the Festival a few years back when Joey broke his foot. With a new album about to drop, they're bound to do either Carling or Download. That leaves the third slot for Nickelback. trololololol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wouldn't mind The Prodigy, but as an option headlining the Radio 1 Stage if we get a lacklustre headliner or just one I don't like haha. Radiohead, Foo's and Green Day would be like my perfect, realistic-ish line-up Was just thinking, what are The Killers doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I had a think about Radiohead, and Thom said they are planning a UK tour next year, so I think they could have a chance. My predictions now are Biff then Foos (remember Frakkles, they havent really done a UK tour yet) QOTSA then Green Day Maybe Kasabian then Muse Radiohead (fucking hope, I love Radiohead as much as Muse) Also, what are these rumours about Muse being asked back? If I'm honest, I wouldnt be surprised, the reading fest promoters have been going on about them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If Kasabian were big enough to headline the IoW Festival this year, they'll be big enough to headline Reading/Leeds next year. I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no offence to Kasabian but they're not exactly mega-stars, even here in the UK. I didn't think Foo's were too likely until I saw that Taylor had mentioned it, now I imagine that they'll be there, I see no reason why R&L wouldn't wanna book them, seeing as they did T in the Park and Isle of Wight last year they'll probably be a UK exclusive Green Day I can't see happening Kasabian I'm almost 100%. Plus there always tends to be an act each year which is breaking into headline status? 2009 was Arctic Monkeys, 2010 Arcade Fire, 2011 MCR and Kasabian next year? They're certainly big enough, one of the most hyped bands around at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
