Yeah buddy i was the same, this is my first post. really liking your line up, though i imagine Royal Blood would be higher. Love that you’ve suggested Brockhampton they’re killing it right now, would be sick if they actually turned up.

 

Oh. also what are the odds of Twenty One Pilots at Reading? Surely their new album would be out by then.

 

Really not bad shout. Only thing I wonder if Stormzy and Dua Lipa are too big for the NME

Dua lipa is very much a NME headliner I think but believe stormzy should be at least 3rd down on main

NME headliner is about 3rd/4th main usually

Dua Lipa announced an arena tour although I don't know how well it sold. If it did well she isn't topping NME....subbing minimum but playing at Reading isn't likely anyway.

Gaz is right. By the looks of it, she has a properly sold out arena in Cardiff. She’ll be sub or third at zombie V Festival.

New Rules was the 11th best selling song of the year in the UK. Dua is not playing the NME.

Using this logic, Jax Jones and Rag'n'Bone Man are also too big for the NME.

i had just assumed that Dua Lipa may be a bit too ‘mainstream’ (for a lack of a better word) for R&L. Hadn’t even considered that she might play.

Wouldn’t be against it though, heard she puts up a great show.

Could The Distillers headline Lock Up?

They had Eminem as the mainstream headliner and major lazor as the mainstream sub so it's possibly- she could sub Kendrick or maybe sub a different day ? Remember Katy Perry subbed foos at Glasto and biffy subbed ed Sheeran so it's possible I guess that they might mix it up so there's a balance of Rock and mainstream on each day.

Excuse me sir The National subbed Foos and Katy Perry was 3rd down please don't forget the only good act in that top 3.

When it comes round to August, where will I be able to find secret set news?

Information normally makes its way onto here but at the festivals they'll be advertised.

[MIchael_scarn]

Say Nothing but Thieves are pretty much nailed on now, got R&L fans album of the year so would be a bit stupid to just completely bypass them next year, possibly another NME headliner/sub.

Edit: I keep forgetting it's 2018 so by next year I mean this year.

What was everyone's thoughts on their best albums of 2017 btw. My choices probably would be A Fever Dream (Everything Everything), DAMN (Kendrick), Youth is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect (Sundara Karma) and Different Creatures (Circa Waves) are probably my shouts, interested to hear others opinions.

These were mine 

Top 3 out of these would be Cabbage - Young dumb and full of... , Royal Blood - How did we get so dark?, and Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - Modern Ruin.      Expecting all these 3 bands to appear at reading.

however personally, most my favourite music of last year came out of individual song releases and EP's. So This year should be an even bigger year for albums for me.

 

EDIT

Massive honourable mentions to Kendrick - DAMN and Paramore - After Laughter. TBH both of these although didnt make the list could easily have replaced Fangclub - Self Titled or,  The Orwells - Terrible Human Beings.
