I would much prefer Vampire Weekend.

I'd have thought that Vampire Weekend are too big to headline the tent nowadays.

[Davis_89]

Both Vampire Weekend and Glasvegas have a similar fanbase to that of The Strokes so I highly doubt either would be on at the same time. Its far more likely to be something heavier or dance/electro up against them to give people a bit more choice.

Does anyone reckon it'll be like 2009 and have a few heavy/alternative headliners since MCR won't please alot of the heavy crowd?

Hopefully, maybe a band that begins with S and has eleven letters?

In all honesty I have very little interest in seeing Soundgarden, I've got and like Superunknown and would see them if they didn't clash with an act I liked but meh they don't really seem like a great live band and they just don't create any excitement for me.

frank turner, all the bands from the n.m.e tour, the pigeon detectives,out side possibility of beady eye. i hope for alot of strong bands in the tents, mainly to drown out the din for the horrendous headliners. (mcr an muse)

vampire weekend are absolute garbage. there so boring, the lead singer cant sing, the guitarist cant play a note. there sub rock, sub indie, there at best pop. horrible little scum bag band. they should sub for muse on the main stage and call it blah blah day.

I think someone needs to calm down about vampire weekend....
But I think they are better mid-afternoon on the main stage rather than closing the tent. Instead just get soundgarden, manics and some generic indie band for the NME headliners and be done with it

If only they had the musical talent and style of Beady Eye...

[purplehaze81]

I think Vampire Weekend are one of the freshest sounding bands around at the minute. They're unique, they don't sound like anyone else and every song has a different sound to it. It may not be the most technical music, but it's fun and uplifting music. Perfect for a summer festival.

stereophonics or the manic street preachers to headline the n.m.e, with pigeon detectives sub.

[onemangang]

just watched a bit of miles kane on 4music. just backed up what i all ready no, hes a very talented man, great voice, great guitar player, really no's how to bring a song to life. would love to see him.

tbh stereophonics are to big to do the n.m.e, they were still doing areana tours last year. maybe 3ed/4th on main not sure they would except it tho.
