Line up for Leeds 2012

Let’s get the annual Leeds Festival rumours thread going again…

The weather is barmy for October, everyone has been outside sunning themselves, it’s only a month or so since the tents were packed away for Leeds 2011 and already the internet rumour mill is in overdrive for Leeds 2012.

Who would you like to see as headliners for Leeds Festival?

The official announcement for the Leeds Festival 2012 Line-Up is six months away (end of March 2012), so there is plenty of time to have a guess.

As usual – it almost goes without saying – that the annual RHCP rumour is already out there …

… but who are YOUR favourites and who would you put your money on to appear at the Leeds Fest in August 2012?

If you don’t have any Leeds Festival 2012 Rumours, why not tell us who would be your fantasy headliners.

In 2010 and 2011 we had over 1,000 replies on our annual Leeds Rumours threads and we’d love it if you could top that for the 2012 festival.

So please leave your comments below. We’ll leave this thread open until March. So now’s your chance to get in there early, get your guess down in writing now and reap all the kudos when you’re found to be right in March.

    I’ve heard that Foo Fighters have kinda already confirmed themselves and I wouldn’t mind seeing them. Also Green Day are highly rumoured too. As for the remaining day (usually seems to be an indie night) Coldplay would be pretty good. I know they aren’t exactly indie but they’re calmer than the other two. The Prodigy have been rumoured to headline too but I don’t see that happening but I hope it does.

    Other bands/artists i’d like to see would be:

    Skrillex (actually better be on the line up!)
    Knife Party (this would be more likely than Pendulum since Rob seems to be focussing on this project more. They are amazing though!)
    Deadmau5 (would love him to be on it, really want to see him live but I doubt my dreams will come true haha)
    You Me At Six
    Avicii
    The Courteeners
    Paramore (also probably won’t happen but, I can hope)
    Kasabian
    Example
    Justice
    Magnetic Man
    Netsky
    South Central
    Swedish House Mafia (this won’t happen but even if they popped by the festival to do ‘Antidote’ with Knife Party)

  10. Luca Bain says:

    best ask for bands that have already been suggested by a few people already. the chances are they’ll choose the bands that have been regularly requested.

  11. Luca Bain says:

    its been rumored that green day and foo fighters will be playing on the main stage. however id love:
    dead cat bounce
    Bill Bailey
    high flying birds (Noel Gallagher)

    anyone who’s bought tickets already and is expecting to see any X-factor contestant, Justin Bieber or any form of rap/RnB singer, im afraid theres a good chance you might have just waisted your money
