So what are the main annoying clashes for you this year then? For me so far it's gotta be...
Crystal Castles/Dizzee
Enter Shikari/Libertines
Pendulum/Arcade Fire
Foals/Weezer

Obviously the timings etc. haven't been properly worked out but tbh if they put some good bands on the other stages too, the clashes will only get worse instead of better!

Proper chuffed with this years line-up

[Bradders]

I would expect it to be more Band of Horses and Weezer, which I'm gutted about.

[Role Model]

Phoenix/LCD Soundsystem against GnR's. nightmare due to friends, can see me going it alone in the NME tent.

Phew. I paniced then. I thought I would have to choose Foals or Weezer

I only really have one clash and thats The Libertines/Enter Shikari
Unless theres a Modest Mouse/Frank Turner... to which I will have to clone myself.

Other than that... it seems pretty good.

Yeah thats the killer one for me too.
What you reckon you'll go for ? .. I cant decide now and come August i know i still wont be able to.

[wheres the mudfight]

only really We are scientists v Blink 182 but I'll definately be seeing Blink. shame tho. I expect a fair chunk more with the Lock-up announcement. there never seems to be all that much on the NME/FR tents that I like.

[scottt]

Phoenix and GnR for me.
Thats it though, dont really like any bands on the NME other than Phoenix.

[Tom1889]

I should know this by now having been the past two years, but when do we find out who's on the other stages?
I know we've only just got the first batch of artists, but i'm hungry for more

i think the lock up last year was the end of april. dont know if that was along with the other main stage bands or not though.

[lucastang]

Klaxons and Blink 182 for me. I will go to see Blink live, but I am gutted about missing Klaxons, they do put on a good show.

[ProphetsAreLost]

I'm quite happy so far, only real decision is Shikari or Libs, which seems to be a problem for a fair few people atm.

Saw Shikari last year, but them being in the tent this year would be amazing, so I'l probs end up seeing them.

[jwb_2009]

Yeah, shikari and libertines is the killer atm.
Anyone now if Libertines'll release any new stuff towards the festival time?  That might be the decider

Very unlikely. The thing us fans all wondering at the moment, however, is the future of Babyshambles. Nobody seems to know whether The Libertines it's a one off or a full blown reunion. The Shambles drummer Adam isn't saying good things, and Peter let slip (intentionally) that Libs might play new songs.

They've already had a secret rehearsal without anybody knowing, so who knows what else they have under their sleeves

Hoping Frank Turner doesn't clash with Gaslight Anthem/Modest Mouse and Pendulum vs. Arcade Fire, will go with Aracade & Gaslight though.

But the lock up is gonna be a major bummer when they (probably) announce Big D & Kids Table & Capdown though

[evilduck]

Klaxons and Blink is my only gutting clash at the moment.

+1

This is the biggest one for me, hopefully Klaxons will be announced for T or I'll catch the back end of them after Blink, bad times...

Well everyone I know will be at Weezer, and that's what it usually comes down to with clashes. I think I'd pick Weezer with mates over BOH alone.

Blink/Klaxons is another one, but I'm not massively fussed either way, I'd say it depends on whether Klaxons' new stuff is any good.

Capdown are exclusive to Slam Dunk

I just hope when they (probably ) announce thrice for the lockup they dont clash with anyone
or big d
or reel big fish

[rossg123]

I'm hoping it changes a bit, cos I never realised the Foals/Weezer clash 'til I looked at this thread. please no.

Me too because I don't like either of them!
