2002! Muse, Prodigy, Guns n Roses, Foo Fighters, Strokes, The White Stripes, Breeders, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Libertines, Janes Addiction, Pulp, Aphex Twin, The Streets etc… You wouldn’t get as good a line up nowadays!
Either 2008 or 2007 Metallica and Rage Against the Machine were absolutely amazing, but RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins are immense too!
just get deadmau5 and chase and status up…an ill be happy
Oh My God, 2004 was the best by far!!!
It was absolutely epic <3
2008 was the best line up bt avenged and slipknot didnt even play so wasnt as good
2008 Stole it without a doubt!!!
Metallica, The Killers and who can forget the return of Rage Against The Machine?!?!?! I won’t!!
2009, Prodigy and Enter shikari on main stage were amazing. Also Lostprophets, Gallows, BMTH and Friendly fires on other stages were really good. Hoping 2010 is just as good, hope Kasabian and Pendulum are playing!
2003…. BLINK they shud be here this year as well. well hopefully
2002 – Guns N’ Roses, Prodigy, Offspring
Here’s a review I wrote of Leeds 2005.
I think that was my favourite festival of recent times, not just for the bands but also for the general atmosphere, friends, etc. There were LCD Soundsystem, Maximo Park, The Futureheads and Bloc Party almost back-to-back on the opening day, which got me in a really good mood for the event.
Have a read…

Pixies headlined the next day, along with Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies doing some late night audio visuals. Great fun.
Not biased no
Glasvegas are a great band in my opinion.
Excuse me but are we forgetting about the supreme quality of Glasvegas, or am I being biased being a jock?
2007 defo they should have more metal and it’s a shame about avenged sevenfold
but metal is the way to go
For me, Leeds 2009 had the best with Kings of leon and Kaiser Chiefs!!
Has to be 2008! Cos the best band in the world headlined, The Killers
2007, definetly! Not the headliners, but the smaller acts like Cobra Starship and The Academy Is… (:
It was obviously 2008 to anyone with any sense of realism!
Leeds 2007 had the best line up!
