Leeds 2010 Line Up: rumours round up

Now that our visitors have left nearly 500 comments with their Leeds 2010 line up suggestions and rumours, we’ve written a short round up of the most requested and most rumoured bands set to appear at Leeds this year.

Our Leeds 2010 Rumours thread has been a very hot topic this year and there are now in excess of 450 comments, rumours and fantasy line ups for Leeds 2010.

While we wait for the official Leeds Festival 2010 website to reveal the headliners for this August – which you will be able to read on our dedicated Leeds Festival 2010 Line Up page from March – we’ve dug through your rumours and those listed on some of our favourite festival sites to come up with our mid-January round up. Here’s what you all seem to be saying:

Blink 182 and Green Day have both been very strongly tipped for a place on the Leeds listings after European tour dates were announced for the summer. And while faked Green Day screen shots claiming to confirm the appearance were copied like wildfire across music websites, the US band could still be a very good tip.

Also mentioned consistently in your rumours are The Libertines, Strokes, The Killers and Kasabian, plus an appearance by either Foo Fighters or Them Crooked Vultures – our thoughts are that it is likely to be latter after the band made a secret appearance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2009.

Florence & The Machine are featured in many of your tips for this year, and we could see them make an appearance on either the Main Stage or NME / Radio One Stage this year. And a tip that we’ve added ourselves – but not many others seem to agree – is Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. And how about a return to Leeds for Blur?

Finally, a lot of you seem to be wanting recent headliners back again with Kings of Leon, Rage Against The Machine and Radiohead mentioned often. Very highly unlikely we’d say.

What do you think of our round up? Leave a comment here or on our Leeds Festival rumours page.
