[Confirmed] Green Day NOT headlining 2012 Reading and Leeds Festival

[DecanoLP]

lol, Slipknot co - headlining before Green Day? No way. Fake.

[maridiot]

mmh, I really think the poster is a fake.

As someone else already said, headliners and other bands will be announced on Monday 12th March (here:http://www.readingfe...s_gonna_be_huge).

Lineup looks a bit suspicious to me. I doubt Slipknot would play if they weren't headliners..

agree.

[DecanoLP]

Corey Taylor confirmed that Slipknot won't be playing Reading/Leeds this year. Poster is officially fake now.

[Tre_Gina]

I'm pleased slipknot won't be playing.

Same. Would've been a hard time waiting at the barrier for Green Day with them playing onstage.

Agree. Even the imagination of this waiting time is hard!

7.15 is UK time yeah?

[DecanoLP]

I bet 99% of the crowd would be absolutely happy and go nuts if Slipknot played there again. Their performance back in 2002 was epic!

Wonder if the poster got at least the headliners right...

Yep UK time.

Could be, but I'm happy that it's not going to happen again when there's a chance that I'll be part of that crowd.

I'm confident in Foos & Kasabian being there, but I somehow think both Foos & Green Day would want a 2 hour slot, but only one is available across the three nights

[sara_gd]

Yep UK time.

Thank you. I'll be at class at that time, I bet my teacher will know everything about Green Day (that she doesn't know yet) by the end of the class

What I hate about festivals is the little time each band plays

I think Green Day might just play for as long as they want... remember Lollapalooza?

[Mary711]

If they play then probably yes.

[alexwetherell]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but there's another poster going around without green day on. The headliners on this one are The Cure, Kasabian & Foo Fighters. Maybe GD aren't going to be there after all.. I guess know one knows until 12th march..

[Undómiel]

As to all the "leaked" K! posters, it doesn't even get printed until the Friday before the line-up comes out... so there's no way any of these magazines are real. The only time any potential "real" posters might come out is between the 5th-12th... IMO.

[bollard_11]

As efestivals said they are "95% sure its not Green Day" as the third headliner

And they also said the only leaked poster that was ever correct was last year when it leaked the day before

[~ Walking Contradiction]

They are off the rumours list on Efestivals now

Looks like Foo Fighters, Kasabian and Florence and Machine or Cure are headlining

[DannyDirnt]

Why does people like Reading Festivals so much for Green Day? They are like any other performance,I guess.

[bollard_11]

Green Day are officially ruled out of the rumour mill as an official statement was received by efestivals

HOWEVER

They will be returning to the UK for a full arena tour in the Autumn!!!!

[WillForADay]

Last year the leaked poster (which was the actual poster) was the morning of the announcement.

As posted above efest have received info (from two separate sources 1 from UK 1 from US) saying that they will be doing an autumn tour in UK

I seem to doubt this but then i don't at the same time. But with two different sources it's looking likely.

[Tre_Gina]

it's a shame they're not playing reading but I'm still really looking forward to seeing foo fighters again and we have a GD tour to look forward to

[TheJedi]

MASFLKASLFM CANT BELIEVE THEY'RE PLAYING IN UK THIS AUTUMN. but how do we know for sure, that it's true?

We don't know for sure, that's the annoying thing.

Noticed something: Billie Joe doesn't seem to like reading,but anyways Green Day went to some Reading Festivals xD
