dentalplan Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Stop killing me with those Kendrick clashes boi. I don’t think Schoolboy Q is about to headline NME personally, as good as that would be. His stature hasn’t really changed that much since playing middle of the bill in ‘14.

Maybe but I don't think it put him on the map any more than the likes of Collard Greens and Man of the Year did previously. Either way, I don't quite think they'd rush to book him for a slot like that though, with trap and grime a bit more attractive for placings like that.

Yeah tbf I wanted to re-shuffle the NME headliners to avoid the clash but it seemed most sensible the way I had it, as annoying as it'd be. And fair on Schoolboy Q. Wasn't feeling my previous NME headline picks (Jungle and Friendly Fires) and couldn't really think of anyone to replace them with other than Vampire Weekend (I think Shikari will do Download and can't really think of any dance acts who are the right size atm). 35 minutes ago, dentalplan said: Maybe but I don't think it put him on the map any more than the likes of Collard Greens and Man of the Year did previously.

Me neither to be honest, Future's a weird fit for R+L - he's pretty big but I bet he'd be terrible on the main stage. Travis Scott is the only one I can think of that would probably be best suited to the slot but some others might come to the fore later on. Chainsmokers are probably the right size to headline NME imo if it's to be a dance act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Chainsmokers might be a bit big for it? Think they're in a similar place now to where Macklemore was in 2014 (might be wrong I know naff all about them) where we were all expecting him to headline NME and he obviously ended up subbing main. Then again I guess he could still have headlined NME if the lineup wasn't so weak. Been expecting them to sub V or something since the rumours came about that they'd be around late Summer.

They have one Ally Pally date not sold out, whereas Flume sold it out pretty quickly as a vaguely comparable 'dance' headliner, and I'd be lying if I said I thought they were bigger than Skrillex and deadmau5 when they headlined the tent. I guess people might just be cooling on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBeeis Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I reckon the headlinerd will be: QOTSA Foo's Kendrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo won't be playing 3rd down main. been thinking about what you said here, it does seem odd that they play so low down at festivals considering how successful they are. Well aware that not everything is about sales, but just a quick check tells me their debut album went gold, and they've had several multi platinum, number 1 singles. With a new album potential coming out this year, surely they'll start to move up festival slots soon? I guess maybe not third down main, but perhaps NME headliner? Or subbing NME at the least? Couldn't see them being booked much lower than that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't see them being booked much lower than that now. Huh I didnt realise they hadn't actually released a second album yet. I assumed they had one out when that Rockabye song was everywhere. Guess that maybe explains why they didn't move up lineups much this year. If they do release an album before next Summer then them headlining NME could be a shout. I remember predicting them for that slot for a bit this year (before their low-ish slots at Glasto and V had been announced). 2 hours ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Anyway, here's my current prediction with my shitty editing I'd swap ADTR and Catfish. Reckon Foos would have the heaviest undercard of those headliners, and with Royal Blood obviously being the worst ticket seller of the three I think having Catfish below them would boost day ticket sales more than ADTR.

Guest Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 2 minutes ago, DR OK said: Why does Zach De la Rocha get mentioned so often? Released ODAAL years ago but I can't see he's got any solo material in the pipeline? Just wishful hoping? yeah mainly wishful thinking on my part. it was said that he'd have a solo album released in early 2017 but obviously that never happened. I was hoping it'd got postponed for whatever reason and was still going to be released and then tour it next year, but who knows. would be a brilliant booking though.
