If Ash were to be 'promoted' i could see them rise to subheadliner of the NME tent

I would have loved to have seen Ash on mainstage this year. All their hits in the blazing sun would have been nothing by glorious. However, their FR set was incredible. They need to release a proper blinding album to get them back up that lineup. It's all it would take. They have the hits, and the fans... they just need to proper stonking good album to propel them once again.

I think Ash's time as a popular band is gone, not necessarily a bad thing. At least they're playing for people who want to see them rather than people who are watching them because they're cool. They seem happier as a band now as well just doing there own thing.

I would say more "were" than "are" and this is coming from a massive fan. They'll always have a fanbase but the fact they headlined the NME in 07 and the FR this year speaks volumes to me.

And headlined Glasto in 1997.

Funeral Party will be NME next year or opening the mainstage, really rate them!
