Leeds Festival 2010 – tickets, line up, rumours

Who else would take a headline slot at Leeds 2010?

Following the potential line up leak on Monday a couple of alternative suggestions have been put into circulation.

On Monday we posted the question: has the Leeds Festival line-up been leaked by eFestivals?

Quite a number of you have responded, some in favour of the suggested Leeds line up and others not. At the same time as the eFestivals “leak”, other media outlets in the UK have now put forward their suggestions.

The website Virtual Festivals has suggested that Guns N Roses will be the third headliner, a rumour that was supported by Metro newspaper later in the week.

The Daily Star has continued with the Green Day rumour from earlier this year.

Almost everyone seems to be confident that Blink 182 will make an appearance after the confirmation from Travis at the start of February.

There is some doubt over the other headliner, with everyone pinning their flag to either Arcade Fire or My Chemical Romance, as first rumoured by eFestivals.

So what do you think?

Who do you think is right and whose guess for Leeds 2010 line-up do you think will turn out to be correct? Let us have your comments.

    I cant help but notice that the line up (even if only rumoured) is diabolical.

    it seems as tho leeds forgot they needed to book bands this year and have been left with the ones V fest forgot about.

    i am a leeds fest veteran and its the same line (rumoured) up as 10 years ago.

    anyone selling V fest tickets?

  2. George says:

    I’ve heard that Snow Patrol will be headlining along with Blink 182. I’ve heard that system of a down will definetly won’t be there along with bullet , niall so your right with Snow Patrol but like you said the others may of put pen to paper won’t. Its a surprise to see Snow Patrol headlining as they havent been rumoured much and aren’t anywhere either.

  3. Suze says:

    lmao Jake. you realise that a band doesnt have to split for one of them to do summats else right?? just look at Dave Grohl.

    and how could you possibly know that chillis are splitting ‘soon’ your not making any sense.

    I highly doubt chillis would be there anyway but what are you even talking about, he didnt even mention them you moron.

  4. Jake :) says:

    and Chillies arent touring anymore theyre splitting soon, haha whatever Nihall

  5. Jake :) says:

    system of a down split a couple years back? serj went solo?

  6. Suze says:

    no way!!! System of a Down?? i have always wanted to see them…

    i hope your not bullshiting because this sounds amazing!!!

  7. Niall says:

    great news. snow patrol have confirmed with Ted. Also lets just say system of a down and bullet for my valentine may just put pen to paper by next weekend.

  8. Suze says:

    god matthew, chill out, whats with all the mardy gits on here. like its been said many times before, just because you dont like something doesnt mean other people dont.

  9. Matthew says:

    I vote Nialls talking bull. Also piss off all you people who are craving for crappy fake commerical rock rubbish. Lostprophets, MCR etc suck. It’s not ‘rock’ music! Also cba with two much indie! We need variety!

  10. Mark says:

    Beth. Green Day to support Blink 182? That’s funny.

  11. Shaun says:

    Like to see System of a Down

  12. Suze says:

    Niall are you absolutly sure on all this???

    cause if thats all true then to me it sounds like this years leeds fest is going to be AMAZING!!! Seriously epic in my opinion.

  13. Amanda says:

    Put some actual heavy music in like the good old days
    Hope blink are actually headlining

    But we do need some atreyu, alexisonfire, bullet or a day to remember or something

    Stupid indie kids are taking over it all.

  14. Nicolaaaa says:

    Right seriously to make it better than last years ‘Indie’ weekend this year needs to be about REAL rock and roll. Best lineup ever would be if Green Day, Lostprophets, Linkin Park, Blink 182 and MCR made their comeback. Seriously no Kings Of Leon or shit like that or I might just fall asleep!

  15. Beth says:

    The line-up is announced at 18.45 and the tickets come out at 19.00… it’s been the same for years…
    Best way to find out first is listening to Zane Lowe – Radio 1 on the night…

    Headliners: Guns N Roses (Friday) , Blink 182 (Saturday) & The Libertines (Sunday)…

    Arcade Fire to support the Libertines, possibly MCR to support GNR and Green Day to support Blink…

    Not too happy about it but thats my prediction…

    NME tent Headliners: Sonic Boom (possibly supported by MGMT) and The Cribs… couldn’t call the third one, given up reading NME as it is too commercialised and brown noses the likes of the courteeners and other generic idiots…

    There will always be speculation and is no point arguing… just be excited! see you in leeds :o )

  16. Jay says:

    This years Leeds will be absolutely terrible, I have a gut feeling about this.

  17. Niall says:

    Just had a phone call with Ted Parker, he’s a big insider and helps approach the bands for leeds. Firstly lets just say like last year with crooked vultures there will be a guest appearence again. Firstly here are a list of definates: Paramore-You me at six- Mayday Parade-lostprophits-offspring-30 seconds to mars- biffy clyro-mumford and sons- razorlight and more. For big courteeners fans like myself leeds are in talks with them and this will be there third tour in the uk this summer. For headliners there is two as good as definate, yet one bands still in talks. Firstly after deciding against arc fire the organisers are now in talks with the killers but talks have slown down beacuse of money. Secondly Blink 182 have accepted and are definates. Finally they are close to a suprising confirmation over a headline performance from last year v festival success snow patrol. Massive suprise but would be absolutely electric.

  18. Charlie Miller says:

    DannyPeppe are you jokeing me lol, ACDC fair enough they are the gr8test rock band ever, sore them at wemebly, amazeing, but arosmith, lmao there past it and there music is shit, and rage ageinst the macheane is just a joke, just cos they got number 1 at christmas, so download can go and do 1 ;)

  19. Rocky says:

    Well e-fesival has rumours of Guns n Roses and Libertines. Leeds/Reading really need to pull something like this out the bag cause the line-up looked like it was going to be the worst I could remember.

  20. Suze says:

    DannyPepper…

    if your not a leeds fan and dont intend to go then why spend your time on a leeds fest page??

    maybe you should find something less pathetic to do with your time.

  21. Suze says:

    The Notorious P.I.D… your a moron.

    thats all i have to say.

  22. Zoeyyy says:

    Friday: Biffy Clyro
    Saturday: Biffy Clyro
    Sunday: Biffy Clyro (:

    I jest…we need:
    Biffy
    Foo Fighters
    Blink
    Lostprophets
    Maximo
    Hot hot heat
    The wilight sad
    Courteeners?
    The Cribs
    We are scientists !
    Vampire Weekend (:
    …Now this would be lovely…

  23. Andy says:

    get a bit of gorillaz, chilli peppers, nd then a heavy band like killswitch or bullet or something.

  24. DannyPepper says:

    right what you want is a headline like:

    Areosmith
    Rage against the machine
    AC/DC

    …………………….
    oh wait there at download so ermm leeds can do1 with there shit lineup

  25. The Notorious P.I.D says:

    Blink are awesome, although not seen them live…. But fuck Green Day, MCR, Guns n Roses, Linkin Park, Paramore, Weezer, Lost Prophets etc. they can’t headline anywhere!!

    Get Kasabian, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Chilli Peppers, Stereophonics, Courteeners, Paul Weller, Specials, Ian Brown etc.

    Now that’s headlining!!

    Obviously The Gaslight Anthem but not a headliner… AWESOME!!

  26. doddser says:

    THE LIBERTINES? OOOHHHH JUST CREAMED IN MY PANTS

  27. Nigel Swfc says:

    Blink 182
    The Killers
    The Courteeners.

    ——-
    Confirmed from a source close to the festival.
    ——-

    Personally i’m not happy with the above.
    Blink are terrible live.
    The Killers seem to be festival whores.
    Courteeners? Fuck are they? Only released two albums and both have been VERY average.
    Still going though, its for the weekend piss up, not the bands :D
    But ayye, this lad was the one who told me Arctic Monkeys & Radiohead were headlining last summer back in December 08.
    x

  28. Jess says:

    RHCP were shite last time they were there…. I Really like them, but i was very disappointed!

  29. jim says:

    perhaps one of them will be kings of leon again given that they will be touring in the UK whilst leeds is occurin’

  30. Purps says:

    nah green day , mcr and blink wud be boss. n fuck that aba the same genre wot aba last year arctics, radiohead and kaziers. r they basically not the same genre?

  31. katier says:

    yes it would be fab is Red Hot Chilli Peppers played.

  32. Squibs says:

    Shona

    those headliners would be fantastic

    none of this Green Blink 41 nonsense !!!

  33. Spank-ya-mam-23456 says:

    i will hang myself if greenday are playing at leeds this year. Any chance that kasabien may play?

  34. shona says:

    All sounds like crap to me.

    get a real band, like Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Rage against the machine
    Neil Young
    The stooges
    Janes Addiction

  35. ashley says:

    guns n roses would be awsome

  36. liam says:

    i hope stereophoniocs are playing there amazing live !!

  37. Suze says:

    having those 3 headline is a bad idea.

  38. mo says:

    main headliners
    first day – linkin park
    second day – blink182
    last – green day

  39. The Mean Fiddler says:

    Strokes
    Pearl Jam
    Depeche Mode

  40. Suze says:

    Guns and roses are WANK!!! they dont give a shit about their fans therefor they dont perform well.

  41. Jake :) says:

    Foo fighters
    Blink 182
    Paramore
    Lostprophets
    GreenDay
    Linken Park
    The Offspring
    Weezer

    Would all be fucking sick

    Addd dizzie, calvin, tiesto, david guetta, deadmau5, dadalife lethal bizzle

    :) dream line up

  42. katie says:

    why cant they announce the line up earlier :(

  43. Walpurgis says:

    Soundgarden need to headline since 1994/1995. Black Hole Sun is a motherfucking classic.

  44. Rachi says:

    yessssss tickets are out 18:45 monday 29th march, the line up shall be confirmed then!! me personally dont mind green day and blink but MCR come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn man!! it ifs not decent i aint going haha :)

  45. woody says:

    it sounds wank i used 2 like green day their shit now and blink are horrible live and theres no such thing as gnr anymore there like a tribute band…….. WANK

  46. caz says:

    Gnr, greenday and blink 182 would my dream line up. With faith no more and the offspring too!!

  47. Hattie says:

    how do you know it will be 18:45??

  48. Mike says:

    mike the line up will be announced at the same time dude..

  49. Samatron says:

    I personally wouldn’t mind Blink 182 being there, I’ve heard they’re quality live but the three headliners being Blink, Green Day and MCR would be a bad move, Leeds had always catered for different tastes on different nights, 3 bands from 3 similar genres of rock would neglect people with other tastes.

  50. mike says:

    tickets out 18:45 monday 29th march when will line up be annouced then???
