With Killers playing EP 2012 , Pheonix Park 2013 would they still be able to get a big crowd ?

Yea can see maybe Blink with Paramore and You Me At Six or something?

Can see something like that if its on during 12 - 14 of August Paramore probably won't be there as there're in the US if not the killers maybe JT?

Well its their only UK shows so you are prob right it would prob rule because of that . Maybe Bruno Mars?

Are there any bands big enough touring at the time? None of the Reading headliners are big enough.

Biffy are touring in August, but with them playing dublin I'm not sure if they'll headline

With gigs in Cork and Dublin I'd be surprised if they played. But they would be nowhere near big enough for this.

Queens of the Stone Age could do it I'd say. Definitely big enough if the recent sold out O2 and almost sold out Odyessy shows are anything to go by!

Paramore I'd say, based off the most recent album, are certainly big enough..

Think both them and QOTSA are UK Exclusives to Reading though?..

I dont think they are really. Like the capacity is well in excess of 30k, if not 40k, its a huge leap. I mean that for qotsa too.

Would love it to be qotsa, but itd be a big ask.

Nope Queens are playing all over Europe this summer . Paramore not sure

Paramore are with fall out boy all summer until a week before reading.

Bit unusual that there isn't a Queens Irish date yet, I'd gladly take T-vital over nothing

Same but would rather they play EP

They'd hardly play EP now as it appears headliners announced unless Portishead play a late set or something?

Last year vital was 14-16 but previous years was on after 20th so if it reverts which prob will Queens and Paramore would be in the frame.

Says on this it's a UK exclusive, as is The killers, and Justin Timberlake at V Festival (not too bothered about that last one)

I'm thinking blink possibly, and more probably the prodigy, and hopefully kasabIan.

EDIT: Blink is an exclusive aswell, why can't they all share? It's not like tennents vital is going to steal market share from them!

ABCDDEE

Arctic Monkeys/Queens Of The Stone Age
Calvin Harris/Tiesto
The Killers/Paolo Nutini

What about Foo Fighters playing both Reading and Belfast in 2012?

Couldn't be sure, don't know if that was a UK exclusive, I know the ones I've mentioned I've checked and it says UK exclusive performance on the news articles

Wrongway1985

So any ideas/strong rumours? Announcements at half 7

otumelty

For the first time ever, I haven't heard of any, apparently they are sending teaser photos through snapchat as to who it is however I don'thave snapchat so I can't say for sure, hopefully kasabian, maybe prodigy, probably snow patrol, because let's be honest, it's always snow patrol.

Furious-Red

Only 5 hours to go until our first line-up announcement for this summer's Tennent's Vital!

Haha and if not them it's the bloody Killers!

Just a friendly reminder - last year there was a month's wait in between the 1st Headliner and 2nd Headliner being announced. It's the same again this year.

I remember a few years ago when Foo Fighters supported by Black Keys announced. You can imagine my disappointment when Kings of Leon and Snow Patrol were announced last year

hynesie08

I might get shot for saying this, but I wouldn't actually mind the killers. I saw them many moons ago (04,05) and to be honest, they were **** so I always avoided their gigs, however good the albums were, but recent videos show that Brandon flowers seems to have developed charisma, and now I'm annoyed I've missed the 26 gigs they've played since 2010

aka accounts 2010

That was August 2012. Two great days were had. Stone Roses played the second night!!

wirelessdude01

Foo Fighters supported by The Black Keys was a savage gig

dwight_schrute

Radio Foyle tweeted this afternoon that The Killers and Bastille were the first acts announced then seemed to delete it since. Press release that they put out a bit earlier than they were supposed to perhaps?

It's not gonna win any awards, thats for sure. But as far as fun, singalong in the (hopefully) Sun goes, I'm looking forward to it.

wirelessdude01

Wonder how long the wait will be till they announce the lineup for the other two nights?

Exactly, I'd say this would have no problem shifting 20k+ tickets, and as long as they keep to the hits it'll be grand. Not every gig has to be Springsteen.

If the other headliners aren't JT and ed sheeran I'll be shocked.

Who will the other headliners be? The Prodigy? Kasabian?

StaticAge11

Well that was a truly terrible announcement

I'd rather burn my money than go to that gig.
