guys…. what the hell are you on?? i dont think there will be much chance of stevie ray vaughan or nirvana…. with stevie and curt being dead and all!!!

id like to be seeing ratm headlining (it will either be leeds/reading or download!!)

greenday are due a headline slot!

i rekon that foo fighters is a good possability.. they have headlined after the last few albums they have released!

hers a few others id like to see on the main stage:
less than jake
gallows
buckcherry
motorhead
madness
the offspring
papa roach
the roots
wolfmother
jet

but… this is just what id like to see!!

Alan Kennedy and co should be there, my uncle knows him

alphabeat are going….on the dance stage obvs!

radiohead are far too good to be doing festivals. they do their own tour, you moron!

i heard the stone roses are making a comeback this year. maybe they will be there. i hope so….

“i rekon that foo fighters is a good possability.. they have headlined after the last few albums they have released!”

have u not been keepin with it, foo fighters are stongly rumored 2 be headline download,
with muse ( y muse, y, they ant metal)
an ac/dc.
so any of them 3 i think can mosty be scratched of ya list.

apoligies
feeling very stupid,
i forgot bout the dates.

Man if RATM are headlining I am going to soil myself with joy and anticipation

tom jones

the postal service
the cranberrys
capdown

offical!!!!!

who’s with me, you know we want alkaline trio gettin involved!!!!!!!
korn mite be there????????

cliff richards !!!!!

joe,

i cant say for sure that the foo fighters wont be playing download!! im 99.9% sure they wont!! considdering that reading is his favorate festival worldwide, i think its a dead cert they will be at leeds/reading!!

as far as muse goes… they have been rumoured for years for download… and guess what.. they havnt played yet.. and i dont think they ever will at download!! they have no place there!!

and the holy grail.. ac/dc… dont get me wrong.. id absolutly love these guys to grace us at download this year.. but lets get real!! they have been rumoured to play download since it started.. and guiess what.. they havnt!! if they headline this year i will cream my pants and eat them!!

hold up here tho… isnt this a leeds thread? why are we discussing download here? lol

who do you think weve got in line for headliners for leeds then joe?

“radiohead are far too good to be doing festivals. they do their own tour, you moron!”???????

i really really hope they dont put radiohead on a headline slot.. or any other slot for that matter!! i know they have a large following but to be honest.. id rather boil my nuts in a stew that watch radiohead play live!! there not uplifting enough for a headline slot!!! you need somthing mad and intense for a headline slot!! like say for instance.. the prodigy… that would work!! they have a new album out this year.. could be them maybe?
sorry if that offends anyone.. just my opinion!!

Leedsfest sucks you trendy bastards.
Wacken 2008 is where its at.

Daftpunk Main Stage Sat Night Head Line! Come On!!!! Reach for the Lasers!!!

Theres a good possibility of Radiohead playing a festival seeing as they’ve finally released their new album, but i think they’re more likely to play at Glastonbury.
For the moron who said Radiohead don’t play festivals… V festival 06!
And for Mr Beavis, their set was the best live performance i’ve ever seen! DO NOT MISS THEM

OASIS!!!!

silverchair oh yeah!!

SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND

FUK THE MOSHER SHIT

YES OASIS!!!

Any idea wen tickets go on sale? I know its when the headliners are named but no idea wat month that mite be.

Cheers for the help!

Mid-late March, usually.

Hot Water Music, Brand New, The Sleeping, Alexisonfire, Foo Fighters, Coheed & Cambria, Fall Of Troy, Mad Caddies, Less Than Jake, Silverstein and Biffy Clyro would be what I’d like to see at Leeds Fest, doubt any of them would be there though.

me tbf

britney spears haha

Urgh.
Not a great amount of decent bands like…
Rage Will be Mint…
Kasabian will be alreet if they play…
Ive heard lots that Foo Fighters are playing like…methinks they probs will…
To the dude a few pages up…KoRn will be deciding whether to go for a new album after their new UK tour this month…(which im off to in 4 DAYS! XD)
So they wont be playing…
I hear MCR, Babyshambles, etc.

Slipknot anyone?
…seeing as theyre recording a new album this year…

Whack some Newton Faulkner on (Y) haaa XD

Personally, Id love Breaking Benjamin…
Or Marilyn Manson haha XD

FOZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XD

please please let PLACEBO!! be the headliners! i <3 them!

i heard blur.

RAGE WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR! WHAT A BRILLIANT BAND TO PLAY AT A LOCAL FESTIVAL, CANT WAIT! LETS GET EXCITED AND SHOW THEM WHAT A FEATIVAL IS ALL ABOUT.

EMMA,

Apparently, Less Than Jake, and NOFX have confirmed at their own gigs that they will be playing Reading & Leeds fest

WOO LESS THAN JAKE!

I heard that Rage Against The Machine, Kasabian, and The Verve are going to be headlining. Rage against the machine would be absolutely amazing, but for Leeds fest, i really couldn’t give a shit about kasabian and the verve.

Foo Fighters would be a lot better. I really want lostprophets to play again, cos they were my highlight last year. Also, I wish Feeder would headline, because they were amazing in 2006, and so were Muse.

But anyway, i’ll definitely be going, because it’s still the best weekend of my year, every year

Kings of fucking Leon.
Or I refuse to go !

marilyn manson
green day (headlining)
fall out boy
my chemical romance
paramore
elliot minor
linkin park

INCUBUS!!!! Mother fucking INCUBUS!
Rage, Incubus & The Verve would make a pretty interesting headliners for the weekend, different, but interesting and defiantly enjoyable
the verve friday, incubus saturday & rage sunday =D if rage plays my god the riots are gonna be mental..well..more than normal =]
quite like newton faulkner to play on nme stage
Paramore have confirmed they will play again this year
they said at leeds 07, cause Haley Williams was ill during bank holiday 2006 so paramore played 2007 and confirmed they’d be back for 2008
i reckon fall out boy mighttt, but they played 2007 :/
Foo fighters would be good, but not sure if it will happen
less than jake would be immense
the killers will be great =]
Linkin Park probably will they havent played leeds and reading for a couple of years
ermmm
as for dance tent - just plenty of drum & a lotta bass please =]
aphex twins? pendulum are good live prodigy, 2 many djs , but most will be playing creamfields…*sigh*
anyone know if any other bands have confirmed?

enter shikari to headline NME

that would be pretty fucking mental if i may say so myself

seen um 5 times and will never get bored of them

elliot minor are SHIT!!!! if they play at leeds i will cry haha

BE MINT IF IT’S GREENDAY, RAGE AND FOO FIGHTERS =D!!……

alsoo yay for paramore =D
andddd
i want billy talent to playyyyy that would be mintttt
but they are doing give it a name..so dunno if they would do both..?? or would they?? hmm i dunno..

rage against the machine
Killers
Metallica

it’ll be good to see less than jake there

and the sounds!

Oasis
RATM
the verve
foo fighters (L)
kasabian

GREEN DAY ARE SHIT DON’T LET THEM PLAY

Blink 182??? How can that be? lol

rumours are ….. +44 / Angels & Airwaves.

Not heard anything about mcr playing. Foo Fighters are definate!

i want alkaline trioooooo :]]
&less than jake
but i somehow doubt that
R.E.M. would be amaaazing! isnt michael stipe ill though?

whats the point in rumouring !
until festival republic announce anything a rumour is exactly what it is … a RUMOUR!

> whats the point in rumouring !

…. because people enjoy it? Which is why the internet is full of festival rumours, it’s just something thousands of people are interested in (doing or reading).

APHEX TWIN ARE GONNA MAKE A SURPRISE APPEARANCE! GUARANTEED

ye i heard aphex twin aswell!!! loads of people aresayin that! thats should be amazin
http://www.leedsmusicfestival.com/

I heard seasick steve is headlining

aphex twin ft seasick steve?

Whats this obsession with rage against the machine :S
Absolute dire.
Sad sad times for music this.
KOL and Bob Dylan brrrrap !
x

i would LOVE it if THE PRODIGY played…
would be frickin’ ace!
probs not happen though…

foo fighters arent deffinate at all, wot u on about?! they’ve got a headline tour in the summer, so they most likely be playing festivals.

metallica, rage and green day are going to be the headliners this year…possibly aerosmith or rem instead of greenday, but i can assure u that rage and metallica will play

BENNY GREB!!!
BENNY GREB!!!
BENNY GREB!!!

RAGE, Metallica, AC/DC - Please God

Lets get some real music instead of that indie crap

I’ve heard Slipknot are pretty much a dead cert aswell

It wouldn’t suprise me if there was an appearance from the Foos

I’m really looking forward to finding out the confirmed lineup

Razorlight better not be headlining, they should be shot for crimes against music

I know Avenged Sevenfold are going to be there.
Their singer accidentally spilled that tidbit to fans when hanging out with fans after a show last month.
I was there, I heard it.

Ricky

19 January 2008 | 1:21

MEGADETH!
RATM
Heaven & Hell
Symphony X
Judas Priest
Dio

wow stuck in a timewarp there dude…….

RATM, killers and foo fighters!! possibly green day also but really, who are they anymore??

I really do hope RATM play I’ll bloody cream myself if they do. I heard Metallica somewhere aswel I’m not really a fan but I saw them play Nothing Else Matters at that Live Earth Bollock Fest and they sounded fantastic.

how shit is download festival headliners? anyone agree to disagree?

looking to me like reading/leeds is the place to be

Aww, id seriously kill for Blink and SOAD to play. that would be like, the best moment of my life. Although it aint gonna happen

Pleasssssssse have good bands, the rumours are definatly keeping everyone interested!!!!

Bex… xx

metallica and rage on the friday

killers and babyshambles on the saturday

and foo fighters and kasabian on the sunday

everyone seems to forget that tyou hav more than 3 big bands on look at last year kings of leon arcade fire 9 inch nails, even lostprophets, there headlining download this year (laughable lineup at download btw) pretty sure the warped tour is finished before leeds so im expecting paramore and angels and airwaves (best band ever!!!! ok now you can skit me but everything else i said was valid)

did fall out boy already headline th leeds fest.?just wanderin?

I know they played but I don’t think they headlined. I hope they’re not playing this year

and fall out boy suck! but nevermind, they will probably play anyways and get bottled off of the stage, and they arent a headlining band….

bring on rage, killers and metallica, definitley the best festival headliners as far as 2008 is concerned. foo fighters wont play, doing their own headline tour in the summer..

i reckon other bands we can expect to see are paramore, new found glory, nofx, less than jake, panic at the disco, simple plan, kasabian, the enemy, angels and airwaves, avenged sevenfold, billy talent, good charlotte and who knows, maybe ac/dc….

wishful thinking bands are…linkin park, van halen, foo fighters, arctic monkeys, nickelback, red hot chili peppers, bon jovi.

i hope the cureeeeeeeeee! and hot chip! i didnt go last year, so i missed interpol :’( and bloc party and kings of leon and arcade fire last year was definatly my ideal year, i hope this year is too! im deffffinnnatly going this year, without a doubt, im already shopping for wonderful wonderful tents. i hope metallica or green day just dont…eurgh. why is everyone saying all these shit bands like alkaline trio, mcr, oasis, elliot minor, paramore..they’re all a bag of shit, lets get some real, decent bands on the stage.

DONT LET GREENDAY PLAY!!! or metallica or any other shit which you lot keep mentioning.

THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE THE CURE WOULD BE GOOD.

i agree, all the rubbish bands doesnt sound too good to me, like kasabian and good charlotte, billy talent, and linkin park, nobody wants to see those apart from all you moshers, go to download. apparently thats a shit line up though. im not wasting that much money to stand in a beer tent, because if those bands play, thats what ill be doing. i know we go for the experience too, and it is a truly amazing atmosphere but all the same, decent bands please, things that the majority of people WANT to see would be fab!

fightstarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

charlie is the fuckin man

No wonder the Leeds Festival is going downhill if people who want Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park and the like playing. Bring on Metalica and Rage.

silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair silverchair.

Biffy Clyro, would be cool to see them at Leeds oh and i think I forgot to mention silverchair.

I hear the who and the bruno valentines???

gotta b
foo fighters
strokes
killers

that would be class

and wen do tickets go on sale?

this aint no rumour or truth, but i’d really like to see WOLFMOTHER struttin their stuff on a proper sunny day. thats my ideal scenario lol.

anybody agree?

I agree whole-heartedly. That would be awesome

does any1 know if there is a phone number that you can phone 4 tickets as as getting them off the net ?????

Yes, in every year so far there has been a number you can phone. You can also buy in person at a number of large (HMV stores across the North) and smaller local ticket shops (Crash, Jumbo). Full ticket details - including how to buy - is usually revealed nearer the time. To view last year’s ticket information (to gather more info for this year) see the link below:

http://www.leedsmusicfestival.com/line-up-2007/

I mean: http://www.leedsmusicfestival.com/tickets2007/

RAGE ARE PLAYING T IN THE PARK!!!!!

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!

Does that not mean they’ll be playing Leeds?

I was meant to say “does that mean they won’t be playing Leeds?”

not looking too grim is it? make way for a better band in my opinion
ok they are legends but not a band i really wanna see
they should get machine head in their place
so much fucking better

does anyone know what date the tickets will be coming on sale? x

man that sucks, i hope rage do play leeds, otherwise ill b well annoyed. And as for machine head headlining, they r more of a download kind of band.

Metallica and Rage, hopefully the foo fighters, ive heard its strong, but i thought they wouldnt because of their summer tour.

hoping leeds wont be getting as bad a line up as download..fair enough the headliners are good, but they arent headlining bands, except kiss, but who wants to go to a festival and see bands like judas priest and kiss, unless you are in the 70’s.

also if its all american headliners, velvet revolver might play, van halen?!?! slipknot, korn, killers, system of a down, kings of leon.
who knows who it could be now. The 3 possibilities for leeds are now headlining t in the park…rage, the verve and rem….gutted!

system of a down are doing their own things i cant see them doing it.
i see what u mean about machine head but it brings something different to the festival
it never used to be all about indie…it should be a mixed bag
2006 we had slayer and mastadon.we need more bands like that
i reakon slipknot have a chance,i thought they wud be doing download as their album is due out june/july
so maybe a leeds/reading slot is on the cards?

i like the verve as im also from wigan so it wud be a crime not to like them haha

but they arent a band id wanna see headline a festival

u need an upbeat kinda band to get u going

Foo fighters, RATM and probably Green Day or Metallica, but who said it will be a rock act? Wouldnt Kanye West do it?

yeah, but last time a hip hop act took to the stage, they got through about 2 songs before being bottled off, and that was 50 cent, haha!

I reakon Incubus will be playin because there touring festivals around that time, foo fighters and greenday hopefully!!! I reakon RATM as there doing T in the park aswel. I hope to od incubus are playin thou!

I remember 50 cent playing and one of his “homies” getting smacked with an inflatable guitar. And all the gun shot sound effects they put in between all the songs really pissed me off.

T in the park looks like the festival to beat this year, In all honesty Kings Of Leon, RATM are 2 of the best american bands about. Bands like Slipknot and Metallica are more download-esque. By announcing that the 3 headliners are american it take Zeppelin, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis out the picture to even to rumoured. Even the Sex Pistols would have been class as they where outstanding in Glasgow last year.

I heard that atomic kitten are getting back together for one last world tour and there ending it at leeds. There only playing at leeds on the sunday kinda like when G&R only played leeds in 02. Bring on the kitten!

HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM

fightstar
machine head
slipknot
radiohead
strokes
enter shikari
caliban
editors
bloc party
underoath (i wish haha)

the perfect headliners for me would be
the cure
ratm
radiohead
i doubt the cure or radiohead to be honest
so ive got me fingers crossed for rage against the machine
would love to see some good names on the dance stage
AND pete and the pirates (upcoming indie band) told me and some mates they were deffinatly playing.

i’d just like to say a great big FUCK YOU!!!!! to which ever inbred half-wit said “fuck the mosher shit” and all the non-music fans that fall in the same catergory as this idiot. Leeds/Reading is a ROCK FESTIVAL and always should be and anyone that doesn’t like real music can just take their baseball caps and trackie bottoms or their trendy uniform and mince on down to creamfields or some other shit like that. KEEP AWAY FROM OUR FESTIVAL!

hello!
I want see SUEDE.
more!more!SUEDE.

come on lads the killers should hopefully play this year, they havn’t since the release of sams town and sawdust. also to the person who suggested ten floors (previously ten floors below society which is a better name really) what the hell, i doubt it!!!!!

did i hear something about Jay Z or was that another festival?

do recon kings of leon will play this year or not as they played last year?

Jay Z is headlining Glastonbury which should be pretty cool.

well said steph

rage against the machine also been confirmed for oxegen festival?

who knows if they will be doing leeds/reading? hmmmmmmmmmmm

rage against the machine also been confirmed for oxegen festival!!!!!!
its in july so who knows?

who knows if they will be doing leeds/reading? hmmmmmmmmmmm

Im hoping Green Day headline cz otherwise i wnt get my ticket bought for me and ill have to save up hahaaa!
My Chemical Romance doing it would full on make my year
Oooh PATD migt do it this year cz of their new album idk..
Im hoping the line-ups not all indie shite though -_-;

Beavis… I think they were being facetious about Stevie Ray Vaughan & Nirvana…

TOOL!!!!!!!!!

yeh emz, u say u want all indie shit which is fair enough, but u want mcr to play, and they suck even more!

no one has mentioned perfect circle or tool!!! that would be good.

Biffy are more than likely a definete seein as they play leeds almost every year since about 2002, now they are just getting the credit they deserve!

Would love to see slipknot, incubus, prodigy, SOAD again, fingers crossed!

PLEASE NO GREENDAY! american idoit??? says it all, used to love them but they wanna be the next rage i think with their political rants.

Mon the biffy!!!

man best headliners would be metallica! rage (unfortnuatley they have been promised to bloody t in the parK!!!) something a bit rocky! 06 headliners were great oh and to the anonymous above me! SOAD would be awesome!!! prodigy are pretty cool but are better on smaller venues so not headliners- any updates on rumours would be good- biffy are pretty good live but not gonna be my fave band to see

so METALLICA
SOAD
MUSE!

(i know hte last one is not gonna happen cos UK tour wasnt long ago- but muse have to be one of the best live bands ever!!)

p.s if MCR are playing i will cry! worst band ever! seen them live way too many times and they are absolute rubbish!!!

SOAD wout play as the band are doing the own projects.
if anything serj tankian will prob do his solo stuff earler on in the day on the main stage.

Metallica have not been promised to T in the Park, their headliners have been announced. System of a Down have broke up, possibly for good, which I am quite thankful for. Rage seem very likely from what I’ve heard. Foo Fighters also seem very likely to play. As for the other headliner, Green Day seem unlikely as they haven’t announced any American tour dates yet, and they’re almost certainly going to tour America after they release the new album before coming to the UK.

no metallica havent been promised to T in hte Park- Rage against the machine have!

I Recon Metallica, Rage, and i Hope Green Day but i doubt it.
any confirmed yet??

none confirmed until the day the tickets go on sale! which is usually 30-60 mins before they go onsale

rage agaisnt the machine
greenday
foofighters
metallica

…apparantly

i heard The Verve, RATM & Metallica
tbh, i never watch the main stage headliners anyway, i like the radio 1 stage.
THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS THE HORRORS

how could rage, greenday, foo;s and metallica play, they are all headlining bands, wouldnt work out 2 well. Im still backing rage and metallica, but hopefully foos over green day, even though both are ace, the foo fighters are incredible.

i’ve heard metallica were going to be there? if so i need to be alerted a.s.ap

joemckeown92@hotmail.co.uk get back to me

was really wanting to see radiohead
but im not too fussed now as im off to see them on the 29th june at LCCG in manchester

some of these suggestions are just abit mish-moshery (i know, excellent use of the english language there)
I hate to say it but I think although there will be some rock/punk bands there this year I’m putting my money on indie.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Razorlight did headline, it might be more likely if they release an album closer to the announcement date.
The horrors are a good bet, as are the killers, perhaps kings of leon and the cure but other than that i’ve got no clue!
surprisingly Green Day could make an appearance, with a new album expected within the next couple of months I think its a possiblilty.
I know it’s tense having to buy your tickets on the day they announce the band, but I quite like it, Its gonna be such an adrenalin rush! I just wish they’d give us a clue as to when they are planning on announcing, I don’t want to be skint on the day they tell us lol.
Hope to see you there guys. x
ps, sorry for the life story

Metalica inittt

no rage they doing t in the park it will be metallica mcr and slipknot metallica for ledgendary my chemical romance for popular and slipknot for new album they have been confirmed to be 3 american guitar bands so there my bets

Im sure bands have headlined T in the park and leeds in the past and its usually a given that you do T in the Park and Oxygen.

I’m for RATM, Metalica and ??,

Foos and Killers did V last year and Foos are doing Wembley, Green day havent done anything recently to warrant a headline spot. REM have now announced stadium dates.

Hope the following are announced
Gallows,
Wolfmother
Silverchair,
F*cked UP
Serj Tanikan - Just to get him off the screen
Anti flag
Jesus Lizard (Showing my age)

razorlight wont do it :S

they headlined last year
they wont get the same band on two year in a row

totally pointless

and its been confirmed its 3 american bands

should be rage, Muse and the strokes could you ask for better!!!

the answer being no!!!

any news on Muse playing? i ask!

Right on skippy at a gig. I also hope silverchair are announced. That would be well ace. silverchair for leeds and reading 08. Best band on the planet.

Would be funny if Nickelback played. We could all sing along to Rock Star and then throw poop at them because they suck.

Or even better, not go see them at all.

I heard Rage and maybe Metallica!
Course I’d love for Muse or Daft Punk to play! Gallows and enter shikari would be cool as well!

rage muse and the strokes? yeh u could do better than that! rage, metallica and foo fighters!! much better headliners! obviously muse are good, but id prefer one of the others

slipknottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt please

ive just heard today that the line up has been confirmed as rage, metallica and the killers?!?! can anyone tell me if that is true? thanks

It would make everyones weekend if rage were to play!

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - METALLICA.. ENOUGH SAID.. IM GOING.

http://forums.readingfestival.com/tm.aspx?m=339699&mpage=1&key=

has anyone seen that? it was leaked online the other day

but speculations say it could be a fake

looks fake to me but looks an awesome line up

Haha, yeah, I saw that a few weeks back Agreed, would be awesome!

alexisonfire and fightstar on the same day

fucking excellent if that was to happen

Neil Diamond will definatley be there.

cant wait.

neil diamond is aceeeeeeeeeeeee

has anyone seen that? it was leaked online the other day

but speculations say it could be a fake

looks fake to me but looks an awesome line up”

fake HA!

I heard on the grapevine that the backstreet boys and ronin keating will be playing some part at the mud ridden shi* hole

slipknot pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey steph - not all guys in baseball caps and trackies are idiots like the anti-mosher guy above!! I’m a music lover of many genres, and i shall be proudly walking round in my baseball cap n trackies rocking out (PLEASE let it be to Rage) at Leeds!

The whole “stay away from our festival” thing - come on, lets not lower ourselves to the level of the scallies who hate anything different - a persons style of dress doesn’t always tell you what music they like! Not having a go - just my two pence worth.

On topic - i’d love to see Ratm and slipknot again - saw em way back at Leeds fest in 2000 - one of the best weekends of my life - Ratm, the ‘knot, Bizkit, Deftones, Blink, Pulp, Oasis (although i hated em at the time!) and Placebo (was anyone else there and experienced the freaky “stormy weather” moment??) to name a few!

Get some black/Death metal bands not indie and emo shite.

Yeah Max i was there that year. The heavens proper opened for Placebo. We watched them from under the shelter of a burger van and they were ace

chemical brothers PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, The Verve, Ill be happy if they are there

oh and for the record im not a mosher as i have bleached long blonde hair and wear a band t-shirt with a pair of jeans

thats all thanks

I’ve always been under the impression that those bands who play at V Festival the weekend before don’t/can’t play Leeds/Reading Festival.
If that’s right it therefore rules out…

MUSE - THE VERVE - STEREOPHONICS - THE KOOKS - MAXIMO PARK - ALANIS MORISSETTE - THE FUTUREHEADS - THE PRODIGY - THE PIGEON DETECTIVES - JAMIE T - THE TWANG - KINGS OF LEON - AMY WINEHOUSE - LENNY KRAVITZ - THE FEELING - KAISER CHIEFS - THE ZUTONS - THE VIEW - REVEREND AND THE MAKERS - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - THE COURTEENERS - THE RIFLES THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS - THE CHARLATANS - HOT CHIP - TRAVIS - ROBYN

Which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what your in to.

Just a thought really, I can’t think of an act that played both Leeds/Reading and V last year.

I had my heart set on a Blur reunion and a headliner at Leeds (wishful thinking I know) Oh well theres always next year

if u want black/death metal, why dont u go to download?

Hannah Montana
Dido
Moby
Matthew Barber

cos leeds needs more rock/metal
ive been to leeds 3 times in a row now and i fucking love it

but to see some heavier bands would be completely amazing

reading/leeds was never about indie it just got that way

its time it went back to its old routes

i live just down the road from leeds fest, thorner
i can walk there n back in under 5 mins
i have gone every year n its amazing
last year i was on the ride that has 4 seats per end n it rotates. whilst red hot chilliswere playing
id like to see chillis there again this year
and killers
arctic monkeys
the view

THE USED
LINKIN PARK
AVENGED SEVENFOLD

BUT NO MCR..PLEASE GOD NO

WHO SAID QUEEN????

NOT POSSIBLE…DUH

I’d Like Rage, Green Day, System of a Down, The Offspring, The Ataris, Placebo, Panic at the Disco, Muse, Billy Talent, Buckcherry, Disturbed, Metallica, NOFX, Ten Foot Pole, Goldfinger, Andrew W.K, Zebrahead, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Blink 182 somehow, Manic Street Preachers, Foo Fighters, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rammstein, Funeral for a Friend, Finch, Lost Prophets, Alister, Home Grown if it were possible and britney there; anyone can prob nail her these days i would have a go! nah i’m kidding on the last one just the real bands would do i’d pay £500 to see them spread over 3-5 days! thats what you need! we all must have rage tho. it must happen!

queen is possible actually
as the singer paul rodgers. former lead singer of free and bad company has been taking freddie mercurys place as lead singer

good call there christian, obviously laura isnt much of a music fan if she doesnt know that….if your going to make a comment, make sure you dont sound stupid when you do it

i recon killers, metallica, strokes, greenday!!!!

defo metallica big fan !!!!

who said the cure? there no chance of them doing leeds . far too good. the verve couldbe done like. chemical brothers definitely. hopefully no shit bands like the kooks, wombats, the view will be playting thinking there indie as fuck. and please no scouting for girls man. what is there crack? CHARLATANs are a definite and tears for fears and depeche mode should be there! and kraftwerk! oasis. you should get some proper radge artists. simian mobile disco end of year mash up set. erol alkan. would make the expirience a whole lot better.

sound

and the hives would be good. JUSTICE?? ed banger records artists in general!

i have heard that
acdc
guns and roses
iron maiden
slipknot
avenged sevenfold
buckcherry
motorhead
juds priest
razorlight
led zeppelin

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

THE WOMBATS!

KLAXONS!

VAMPIRE WEEKEND!

its obvs gonna be killers rage and metalica
isn’t this practically confirmed?

I am playing Leeds

There seems to be an incredible demand for metallica….Very likely that they’ll headline as last time was 2003 I believe. Razorlight: Nope. Far too recent to play again. Greenday 2004….perhaps. Actually there is a very real chance they may appear. I heard something about it ages ago. Rage a decent bet but due to crowd control they may lose out to a slightly lesser known festival friendly band. Not judging Rage or anything, but they are crap anyway.

I’d like to see (but probably won’t; something seriously wrong with the headline organisers and line up arrangers past two years):

Friday: Metallica/Rammstein/Avenged Sevenfold (what a night that would be!)
Saturday: Greenday/ or some other piddly emo or indy band that no-one should care about
Sunday: Rage . Grudgingly.

I only really care about Metallica so please, if you are the headline organiser reading this, try your best. You get a free smile from me!

Strokes please!!!

powderfinger from australia simply the best and i heard that they were gona try to tour in europe………. just keep my fingers crossed:)

strokes, greenday and foos!! Also along with Maximo park, The Rakes, The Cribs and can’t think of anyone else right now

To be honest
as long as I get rage, green day and nofx then that is enough to cream over for me. Every other band is just gonna be a bonus, unless however there is an oasis appearance..hmm. Legs crossed for that one

And the Arctic frigging Monkeys! hell i want to see them so badly too lol

Rage Against the machine( friday )
Linkin Park ( saturday )
Metallica ( sunday )

watch this space

RATM and Metallica!!!
I wouldn’t even care if the cheeky girls headlined the other stage as long as rage and tallica go.
I’d like to see Slipknot or SOAD up there but i dont think they would be headliners.

Headliners: Rage, Foos, Green Day. (Maybe The Killers?)
Ideal headliners: Rage & Linkin Park. Don’t really care who else.

Ideal other acts: Hadouken. Enter Shikari. Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly. Kate Nash. Paramore. Jimmy Eat World. Add some good dance/d&b acts too.

Tbh, just take last years line up, add Linkin Park and Rage and you’re sorted. Would love bands like Muse, Oasis, Metallica, Imogen Heap, etc, to be there, but it’s just not going to happen. Basically.

Will 2008 beat 2007? Looking very unlikely right now…

I really want The Klaxons there, but apparently they’ve said they’re playing no festivals this year. Gutter.

whoa!
big rumours of foo fighters headlining! also linkin park! whoop!

really hope paramore are playing again… now they were imense!!

xox

Green Day, Maximo Park and the Rakes are worth going for, and possibly Metallica. Whoever plays I imagine it’ll still be awesome lol

kings of leon (friday)
… Let slip on letterman in states

Arctic Monkeys (Saturday)
… Recent XFM Manchester interview advised are in talks to headline a festival (not doing any other to date)

Foo Fighters (Sunday)
… Inside knowledge “wink wink”

Other confirms are Kasabian (Saturday), The Enemy (Friday)… I have more but wil revie email I got from my source and get back to you all….

x Secret Squiral x

PS. Rage are 100% not playing!!!

haha! I actually know the lineup, but i’m not allowed to tell, cos my dad could get sacked for giving me it.

I wlll tell you though that M, K and R are headlining…in that order at leeds

work it out yourselves!

can anyone tell me if Enter shikari are playing ??

please reply if you know

xxx

muse need to play would be amazing!! green day and the strokes as well!! for the NME Enter shikari, The klaxons and the horrors!! haha

Enter shikari are playing on the friday at leeds fest, on the main stage ;]

The Young Knives also confirmed themselves for Leeds Festival on the radio the other night.

thanks, i’m glad that enter shikari are playing

can you tell me if the foo fighters are playing?

xxx

RE: adi
“I wlll tell you though that M, K and R are headlining…in that order at leeds”

M… Mike and the Mechanics
K… Kris Kristoffenson
R… Romeo Dunn (former so solid crew)

God I cant wait I hope I’m right!!!

F#@k Leeds festival! It’s all indie w@#k now anyway.

Temple Newsam was a much better venue, not to mention much better sound, more eclectic lineup and much cheaper price.
We got the Warped Tour too in 99!!!

What happened??!!! I’m guessing NME and Radio 1 got too much involvement!

Oh yeah, i saw RATM last time they played, i love them, but they’re not brilliant live, especially Tom Morello. Lets hope they’ve practiced more this time!

The Stray Cats are touring… Go see them instead. You won’t be dissappointed.

fightstar main stage please

madonna

they need to be in the dark so they can have their amazing light show on and get that fucking crowd going

i still say they shud headline NME TENT

Does anyone know if Paramore are there again this year??

I will actually cry if they’re not!

Rage Against The Machine, Queens Of The Stone Age and Kings Of Leon from Ugly Mugly

Billy Talent, Velvet Revolver (who are better than Guns and Roses) and Enter Shikari. From Sex Beast

Fall Of Troy, My Band and The Nightwatchman from Date Rape

ney cos they are terrible haha

lmao how can nirvana play?!
i reckon rage against the machine will play though.
i would like to see zebrahead or reel big fish play though that would be awsome

Yes adi, I think I believe you. Metallica are a definite; they have a new album in production, havn’t played since 2003, and are currently starting a new tour which would take them to England in time for Leeds.

K for Killers? Are they american? Oh well, I’ll find out.

As for Rage? I thought that they were 100 percent not playing…. Hmmm intriguing. Ace for metallica though.

Kasabian will not be playing leeds at least not on the saturday 24th they have definatly been confirmed for creamfields

Hi

I can confirm the following,

Main stage, for Fri/Sat respectively

Rage Against the Machine / The Prodigy
Tenacious D (Full band) / Bullet for my Valentine
Blur / Less Than Jake
Elliot Minor / The Enemy
simple plan / Paramore

thats all i have for now

i hope the my chemical romance plays so i can bottel them.

but i know for a fact that muse are playing

ha sno1 thought sum 41?
theyve been touring
and are american
and its a long shot but strokes? pleaseeeeeeeeee
i think maybe an electronic headline would be good
like daft punk @ wireless lst year
fatboyslim american? cba with google

Muse will be playing, guarenteed!!!!! I know them personally and they gunna be there, Matt told me!!!

Pendulum confirmed on their myspace page. Go check out their tour blog. Can’t wait.

i hope your right about Muse!

Muse said they only doing 1 festival and thats V festival am a huge fan but they not gonna play V and Leeds

The lineup probably is lik every1 thinks RAGE, KILLERS, METALLICA

I am also good mates with the Futureheads and they said that they doing V and not Leeds

machine head
enter shikari
fightstar
slipknot
funeral for a friend
alexisonfire

and im happy

slipknot ft. kate nash

Yeahh, that’s right

Metallica, The Killers, Rage Against The Machine

I mean, REALLY don’t take my word for it, as it could always be fake, but i have recieved the exact same lineup from two completely different people, both with connections to the festival organisers

Enter shikari are on the friday in leeds, fourth from the last band on the main stage.

Foo fighters aren’t on the lineup i have, but maybe they could do it secretly like they were going to last year, but they didn’t because of Dave’s throat or something like that?

I’m pretty happy, cos taking back sunday and less than jake are playing!

just remember, this is just my word for it, and it could be fake, but that’s what i’ve heard!

anything else anyone wants to ask?

Best not be shitty Metallica headlining.

I wants REM!!

I’ve heard rumours of a £160 ticket charge without booking fee’s, is this just bullshit? or have they increased the price stupidly?

how do people know these bands for certain?! id say just wait until the line up date to really see.

Its gotta be Slipknot theyd get the place bouncing…..and besides Download already have 3 headliners, and Slipknot are too big for a mid-card slot.

better not be fucking shitty new rave bastards

AMEN

stay tuned…www.officialcaseychaos.com and http://www.myspace.com/refuseamen

______SPREAD THE CHAOS!!_______

anyone see any chance of Kings Of Leon?

anyone know what day the line up will be released?

3 headliners
Elvis
The Beatles#
Nirvana

For sure
x

line up is announced on the 31st, same day as the tickets go onsale

btw, if muse are deffo playing, where on the bill would they be, seeing as all of the headliners are american, and muse are a headlining band?!

isnt da line up getin announced on fri nyt on radio1

@titdlersarmy : Where did you read or hear that?

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDIIINNAAAA LAAAAKKKEEE (;

I don’t see how anyone hasn’t mentioned stone sour yet! their new album is amazing! Not to mention that they have an awesome live performance! But I think that there should be a remake of one of the all time great Leeds/Reading festivals. That of 2002! I mean yeah there were a few poor bands playing. But there were some all time great bands there! Many of which were still relitively unknown at the time. Amen, Dillinger, Slipknot, Offspring, Alec empire, Prodigy, GNR, Incubus etc. None of that 50 Cent or Rasmum bollocks! Pure straight rock music!

Pendulum have self confirmed,

RAVE ON

Why is everyone wanting bands back that played last year?
Metallica would be epic but they seem to be a bit out of place with the whole indie-pop lark that goes on at Leeds..
Chillis were wank last year so the headliners this year had better make up for it..

Oh and if Pendulum&Prodigy don’t go, I will be most gutted.

Chemical Brothers
Daft Punk
Aphex Twin
Does It Offend You, Yeah? (I don’t care if they were there last year )
Justice *creams*

Oh and Boards of Canada should do a nighttime set on the Saturday, that would be so fucking chill…

coz last year im sure dats wen it was announced, on radio1 zane lowe show

AVENGED FUCKING SEVENFOLD!!!!
now tht i would wanna see
if a7x played nd rage against the machine
OH GOD
i’d be in heaven

i think it gets announced the same day as the tickets go onsle

if i dont get tickets

im ending my life

Last year, i managed to get three tickets…..then i checked back about 30 mins later to see if tickets sold out, and realised i’d bought 3 READING festival tickets and STILLLL managed to buy three Leeds fest tickets!!!

The moral of the story is, if you don’t manage to get onto the tickets website in time, you need better internet!!!

yeh err Ram Jam are Definatly playing AND! Reel 2 Real haahha, basicly if hot chip arent there il chop my dick off

haha i did that for my g/f
id only been with er a month
and went and got her reading tickets

luckily the credit card thing happened and i got away with it lol

took me about 27 mins get them last year and the year before less than a minute

so fingers crossed

I have a leaflet thing with the line up on!
It says Rage Against The Machine, Killers and Metallica are the main line up.
And others playing are The Automatic, Enter Shikari, Hadouken! Duffy. The Wombats and plenty more.
Just cant rememeber
seemed a pretty good line up , hope its true.
When does the actual line up be announced

get yerself download,

only reason to go leeds is if rage are playing!

sall a pile of new rave gay full of kids that think their in an episode of Skins

To Lucy;
Yeah, that’s the same one i’ve got. It could be a fake, but it is a fake made on very reliable sources….BECAUSE…..

The guy that manages our band also works with the press at Leeds Fest, and they’re in a Conference at Leeds Cockpit, which is the first place the lineup is officially announced (to the press), wheras it’s released to the general public later tonight, an hour before tickets go on sale

So far, he’s confirmed to me that the headliners ARE METALLICA, THE KILLERS and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

Also playing, should be Bloc Party, Paramore, Less Than Jake, New Found Glory, Manic Street Preachers, Slipknot, and Queens Of The Stone Age

I’m so bloody happy with that line up so far!!!!! :D

PS… oh, and also, PENDULUM!!!!! who announced it in a blog on their MySpace!!

Confirmed:The Killers, on the new official leeds festival website
http://www.leedsfestival.com/home/

slipknot and machine head and im happy

Reply to Adi.
