Every year I get my hopes up and get let down. I've been to the past 10 Leeds festivals and was lucky enough to see them play there in 2004 and it was awesome but it was before they truly came into their own as a live band. If they play next year it will be the best performance to ever happen at those festivals. Here's hoping anyway!

How would they know this early on? They've just made it up like they do every single year. It might make more sense/be more likely next year than it has been other years since we know they're work

It's bad that Adeline linked to it when it's still just a rumour.

The Prodigy are headlining Download which means at least one third of that rumour is not true. Lets just hope the rest is.

It's actually all the way in England. But don't worry it's not gonna happen anyway, it's just a rumour.

Let's get this topic back up again:

http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/2823/

Well, I tried to read the article since Dutch is similiar to German, but I think it doesn't even talk about Green Day... They are just listed as "also possible headliners"... In general, we can't trust this article too much in my opinion. Linkin Park are listed in the same category as Green Day and I'm 99% sure they won't be touring next summer. Same for Muse...

I can read dutch, and this isn't a rumor with a source, just speculation.

Green day isn't even listed under "probably", but under "might be possible" (as in: there's not really a reason to think so; but it's possible).

I recommend updating the GDA post to make it clear that this is not a reliable source at all.

EDIT: By the way, I was talking about Pinkpop, not Reading/Leeds.

so I heard something interesting this morning..... a very strong rumour that Green Day will be at Reading and Leeds next year. The words were "these things can fall through but the plan is for Green Day to be there" it came from somebody in the know. I always go to Reading anyway and will be getting my ticket in the presale Friday :)

Please don't kill me if it's wrong though...

If the Reading/Leeds thing is true that means the chances of Pinkpop being true are bigger and that means I'm gonna be mighty pissed off because Pinkpop is in the middle of my exams (whatever they're called, the things that basically determine whether you graduate high school or not) so I can't possibly go.

And Green Day playing here while I can't go is just urghhhhh. :P

Could this be what kerrang's 'amazing news' might be?

I think so.

They recently broke the news that Metallica were playing Download. Maybe they have this scoop?

Does playing in a festival very very likely indicate that they would be releasing an album shortly after or around that time? I know they did Reading right before AI came out... have they ever played festivals and NOT put something out when they do it? (Like 2006-2008?)

I don;t think Kerrang would be allowed to announce this, surely the big thing about Reading/Leeds is annoucing the whole line up on the day the tickets go on sale?

After hearing my bit of news I am very optimistic they will play...HINT HINT
