I rekon there will be a few surprises on the NME stage, and i am strugling to come to a desicion on who i think will be headlining, any ideas?

Or even who do you want to headline it?

Edited by SamSheppard, 14 March 2010 - 09:23 PM.

[DR OK]

Interpol
Maccabees + Julian Casablancas
Hot Chip

I'd expect Foals, Ash, MGMT, Hadouken, Animal Collective, Airborne Toxic Event, Crystal Castles, Dinosaur Jr, Metronomy, OK GO and the XX aswell.

[Vieuphoria]

Headliners

Hole, My Chemical Romance/Paramore (depends who is on main) and The Specials

Out of that list Obviously you can see I reckon who would headline or play on the main stage

[scottt]

The Maccabees, Interpol, Hole.

Paramore are too big to play NME, arent they?

and all would be worthy headliners and put on a great show, in particular dizzee and hot chip

For all the people saying Animal Collective I'm pretty sure they're taking this year off from touring to do solo stuff. Panda Bear could make an appearance though. The follow up to Person Pitch is out in September (if it’s any where near as good as Person Pitch it's going to be incredible) and he’s already been announced for a few festivals this summer. Wouldn't be surprised if the new visual album ODDSAC is shown in the alternative tent though

The Maccabees/ Julian Casablancas

Kele from bloc party has got solo material out this year, surely must be a possiblity?

I'd love it, if nothing else to rile the moaners who are sick of bloc party playing.

[SomeDay]

Hole
The Specials

What do people think about The Offspring doing it?

Yes, much too big, that and we know that they're subbing to Blink but some people refuse to believe it.

I doubt they'd book someone who hasn't even released any material even if they are from a popular band.

[BlackHole2006]

Really hope that Pixies headline NME on one of the days Arcade Fire are playing.

Would be epic to see and even more so if they do the Debaser thing that they're doing atm.

Pixies wouldnt clash with Arcade Fire, more likely Blink or MCR, if it was to ever happen.

Pixies wouldn't do it anyway as they wouldn't get enough cash to headline the 2nd stage.

[Vieuphoria]

Plus Pixies should be headlining main anyway?

I dont think so.
Pretty empty when they headlined a few years ago, and that had all the reunion hype. Now all thats died down, i think they could easy sub headline.
Didnt they sub at IOW last year? or am I making that up?

[redcarsgofaster]

yeah they sub-headlined to Neil Young. and to be honest i watched Kasabian in a rammed tent when they headlined in 05
