Could Gorillaz Be a Surprise Leeds Headliner?

There are line-up mumblings and grumblings all over the web at the moment, but to be perfectly honest I'm finding the hard hitting headlines a little hard to find this year!

Interestingly though, the Gorillaz are one act that could possibly scoop a headline slot, according to a various festivals forums.

I personally think that they would be a great addition to the line-up.

This year the band have already bagged a headline slot at Cochella in April, and will definitely be looking to expand their tour for the remainder of the summer.

Have any thoughts on this rumour? We'd love to hear them!
