[Un Adepte Des Raconteurs]

I love them, and have seen them many times, but they seem a tad strange as an NME stage headliner to me.

Why not have them headline the dance stage?

What do people think?

[j...rox]

Highly considering these, or Doherty, depends how I feel. Muse will pull in 85% of the crowd and I enjoyed my klaxons rave last year to finish.

Is it possible they've changed the days of the Lock-up stage?

[wheres the mudfight]

went for dance stage but I really have no idea how big they are these days. if they're big enough its fine, otherwise there will be not atmosphere. saw a bit of Muse in '05 or '06 and they just bored me so I'll be at 2manydjs or Pete Doherty.

2 Many DJs will absolutely smash it, really can't wait!

I think the Dance stage will be on the Friday (reading) this year. Just by taking a look at the early bands anyways.

Their visual show is amazing and they are a great alternative to muse. They never fail to put on a great show, will be the perfect end to the weekend at reading.

they're clashing with Muse, I wont be attending them in the NME, LOL!

I'd imagine its quite likely.

Bit surprised that 2manydjs are headlining the NME stage rather than dance but they'll be awesome regardless and The Streets (the obvious choice to headline instead I'd reckon) are subbing anyway so I don't think it really matters.

[tolywoly]

I think they'll do quite well in the NME tent.

[fuzzylogic]

Could they not have The Streets on at a Normal "headliner" time and then have 2manyDJs into the early hours after the bands have finished? Or would this not be allowed with the licence?

[j...rox]

LCD played at normal headliner time, well were finished halfway into GNR's set. I then suggest the alternative tent which was awesome on both Friday and Saturday night last year. Unsure if they carry anything on into the sunday.

The Swap Shop! Was off my face in there for ages!

Can't wait for them in the NME, the Dance Stage is just too small, I like to have a bit of room for a dance and the NME will be perfect.

[Vieuphoria]

It's nice to see a credible decent dance act get recognition. Better than Pendulum at least. I think it would make more sense to have the Strokes headliners nad have 2ManyDJs sub. But Either way it's a very good, credible and strong selection of dance headliners/subs.

[pryce]

much bigger than most people think!

saw them last year after massive Attack (or Blink 182)  cant remember which day Underworld wer on in paris and they were amazing so much better than i thought!

will easily pull it off in the nme tent.

2manydjs is such a lazy booking for second stage headliners. I think they're great and I'm sure they'll smash it, but you can see them anywhere. Totally unoriginal

[mattl]

Are they at Creamfields? my theory is that they're scheduled as "Headliners" of the stage but The Streets take the top slot and have an earlier set and going to the other festival.

Kinda like Deadmau5 and the Dance tent a few years back.

I really hope so, but I doubt it.

I think its the total opposite. For Leeds its a pretty brave booking to have a set of djs headline the second stage at a band heavy festival when they could have just easily have asked them to dj the dance tent. I cant wait, wanted to see them at Glasto 09 and the tent was stupidly full and I couldnt get in, I think they'll be an amazing end to the Friday at Leeds.
