  3. jake says:

    foo’s
    prodigy
    beastie boys,
    kind of fits together dunt it

  4. beth. says:

    Personaly i think the kings of Leon are a great band but i dont think they will head line.

    I think someone like Foo Fighters, My chemical romance or someone different.

    year after year there is Metallica or Iron maiden. I think this is now coming predictable. Download have a great line up this year.

    KINGS OF LEON DESERVE THAT HEADLINE!
    people need to listen to their real stuff, and not just sex on fire. seeing them there would be immense. although i would love the killers to be there again.

  6. anonymous says:

    Muse, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails!

    I’d love to see, doesn’t seem very likely though..

  7. Woodmeister says:

    Kol will be bloody brilliant every album has it’s own unique charm.
    We are scientists would be pretty class to but probs won’t happen as they’re not that popular.
    Arctic Monkeys will be especially if there is a new album on the way soon

  8. fitzy says:

    who the fuck are fallout boy serious!
    Kings of leon will be good if they play the first 3 albums and scrap the new effort

  9. lol. kings of leon arent exactly one of the best bands ever. they are good yes.
    plenty people say that they arent good enough to headline. but what ive seen on here, something about 14 monster tracks which im sorry to say to the majority. yes this is true. they are mint tracks.
    so to those whom say they arent big enough, go to the shop (or morpheous/aries) download the albums.
    well worth a look

    iron maiden are bad ass live.
    metallica HAVE been voted the best live act. which i have to agree as they were at leeds last year.
    but for the likes of mcr anf f.o.b. no thank you :) as they blatently arent big enough.
    so for those who say bring more metal bands, go to download. as they seem to get the oldie bands. which :\ arent too fun tbh.
    leeds is much better for the younger generation to enjoy the more recent bands aswell as the rockin on ones :P
    CHEERIO!

  10. D says:

    KOL have gotta headline as they are one of the best bands ever!!!
    AC/DC on the saturday
    The Arctics on the last night would round up what is sure to bee a fucking amazing weekend

    Roll on August!!!

  11. chan says:

    kings of leon shud headline they are the best!!!! nd arctic monkeys too ive died n gone to heaven x

  12. julie says:

  13. Stacey says:

    arctic monkeys HAVE ro be there
    kings of leon deffo will
    muse are also a good bet
    i reckon pete doherty will do a solo show too hopefully :)
    all people i’d LOVE to seee

  14. robyn :) says:

    ahhh, i hope kol dont play at leeds this year.
    only because of the fact that i cant go.
    :(

  15. josh says:

    Oasis/Coldplay
    KOL
    AC/DC
    Thats my bet

  16. danielle says:

    Blink 182, Greenday, kOl, i’d put money on it :)

  17. RAY says:

    the monkeys r wank jus worse version of revrend
    greenday r wank
    guns’ r now wank! (slash is god btw)(is it me or cant i hear axls voice anymore?)
    last year was class
    metallica n rage were class
    dint see killers cos sin em tourin bt thought they were ok
    i guess i wunt mind

    foos (not my best band but loved them live)
    kol (again nt the best but stl watchable)
    AC/DC (amazing!!!!!!!!!)

  18. anonymous says:

    KOL
    We are scientists
    Arctic Monkeys
    A classic festival lineup

  19. Hannah says:

    Blink, would be amazing!
    KoL, wouldnt mind, it’s v proabable, I think.

  20. Jim says:

    Blink 182
    Greenday
    Coldplay/Foos/KOL

    That would be pretty sick

  21. Dwain says:

    Well, not really John, seeing as they did headline Glastonbury last year….

  22. John A says:

    Well, i mean they are a good band, but im not sure whether KOL are really big enough, or good enough to headline a festival, i mean you need bands that have a massive back catalogue, and amazing stage shows like, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Blink 182 (who have been set to make a come back after the band reuniting), the Strokes, RATM, i mean yer KOL are good live but im not sure if a headlining position at a major festival is their thing…i mean is anyone suggesting they can match a live performance like that of Iron Maiden at download last year?or Metallica at the Carling festivals?i doubt it and thats whats needed for a frestival headlining act…

  23. anonymous says:

    KOL are arguably fourth behind the Foos, Muse and Green Day as far as the title of best live band goes.

    As for comments above saying they don’t have enough, “big songs”?!?!?! They have 4 albums which each in their own right are exceptional. To transform from their grass roots into the fully polished band they are today in four captivating albums is awesome!

    Long live KOL!

    Try:

    Mollys Chambers, Holy Roller Novocaine, Red Morning Light, King of the Rodeo, Milk, Bucket, Four Kicks, Charmer, On Call, Camaro, Crawl, Sex on Fire, Use Somebody and Revelry!!

    14 Monster tunes and I’m sure I’ll have missed a few!!!

    I’ve seen them 3 times (including before they were big) and wouldn’t miss them if they were at Leeds this year.

  24. roxie19 says:

    havent the strokes got a new album out this year??
    i would love to see KOL, the Srokes and the arctics but its unlikely as that line up may seem too ‘indie’….they usually have a heavier act playing…

  25. Dwain says:

    …but will they really be headlining three festivals? :/ being confirmed at Oxegen and T In The Park already…

    I hope they do like :D first two albums were amazing

  26. anonymous says:

    …but could they really headline three festivals? being confirmed at Oxegen and T In The Park already….

  27. becca says:

    i’d love green day to headline. how awesome would that be?!?!?! it’s about time they came back to the UK so fingers crossed!

  28. kieren says:

    hopefully arctic monkeys they wud be amazin green day and the other band will obv be an heavy metal band thers no way ur gettin kol arctic m and muse plus kol dont have anouth big songs every1 bums sex is on fire i even heard ppl have left ther gigs straight after that song thats simply awful

  29. anonymouss says:

    yeah, kings of leon are headining so are AC/DC and arctic monkeys

  30. Geo says:

    Id love Amy Winehouse to go, it wont happen but id be in heaven

  31. touble says:

    as long as muse dont headline
    or even play at leeds
    ill be happy
    they would just wreck the whole festival

  32. Dags33 says:

    Beastie boys Gn’R and oasis can’t top that!

  33. Lewbop says:

    Noo in a dream world… KoL, Monkeys and Foo’s. Wow.

  34. Jack T says:

    Arctic Monkeys
    Kings of Leon
    Muse

    That would make me cum :p

  35. jonnypop says:

    Infact scratch that last comment, I want Nirvana, The Clash and Pantera to headline.

  36. jonnypop says:

    I hope KoL don’t even play Leeds, they are absolutely wank.

    I don’t even mind if Green Day do, infact I hope they do.

    I’m hoping for ACDC or KISS.

  37. Nat says:

    Razorlight 2007 & Killers 2008 headliners.. so very doubtful!!

    KOL are amazing.. reckon Oasis should be there!..

  38. anonymousk says:

    kings of lean would be awsome, but id love to see razorlight? killers?

  39. spob says:

    KoL would be good but they did Glasto last year. Reckon they’d do another UK festival this year? I mean I know they bum the UK but still… Blur would be good headliners. Still hoping for Daft Punk xD

  40. Rosie` B says:

    the kings of leon are amazee!

  41. anonymous says:

    i heard a rumour Blink 182 might be getting back together and doing leeds.. Apparently after Travis had his accident they have been talking about it again.. I’d say it’s highly unlikely though! Just thought i’d say..

  42. Lucyyy says:

    Blur! Blur! Blur!

  43. coolhand says:

    i think headliners should be

    ac/dc
    muse
    guns n roses

    theyd be cool

    well id like to see that anyway

  44. anonymous says:

    kings of leon would be the best headliners. goes without saying really

  45. its all about blur!!

  46. I hope that fall out boy headline as they sing really well, i’d also like to here a big band like jools holland on the bill

  47. Josh says:

    there not going to be at leeds, i already know.

  48. anonymous says:

    I’d LOVE to see Kings of Leon headline! :D
    Fingers crossed they are :)

  49. anonymous says:

    Personally I don’t think Kings of Leon are worthy headliners of a festival like Leeds but I know they most likely will be headlining Leeds. I think the headliners next year will be Green Day, Kings of Leon and AC/DC. I’d be happy with that, but I’d rather see another band instead of Kings of Leon. :)
