Not sure about the wording on their update on the website. Seems a tad sarcastic...

It’s just a reference to the Slaves song right? Maybe they did it on purpose though  haha.

Aye I think the only chat about him moving down places is that we know he was initially 4th down. The complaints about him being sub is how this guy with terminally boring and weak songs is as big as he is, and how we as a species have enabled this.

He's so ugly too I hate it. Was so angry when he got announced for Mad Cool.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Some of the ordering seems odd as well. Surely Shame would be below Billy Talent? And I'd have thought The Wombats would be above The Kooks, although they'll probably attract the exact same crowd so it doesn't really matter who plays when as most people will stick around for both.

[Gucci Piggy]

Don Broco 4th down NME. @Andre91 in shambles.

Enter Shikari/Don Broco co-headline never happening.

Architects gonna play The Pit next year and he's gonna implode.

[UndergroundSound]

someone please tell me that SWMRS and The Regrettes won't clash...

[Lukie74]

Wolf Alice / Pendulum / Skepta is a very strong sets of R1 headliners

Can't imagine they will, The Regrettes will play 8th/9th main and SWMRS will be lower-mid NME I'd say.

[Gucci Piggy]

Kendrick day still rubbish. Come on FR get your fingers out.

Why would they put 2 drum and bass acts against each other? (Netsky vs Pendulum)

Netsky probs wont be playing much dnb given the other 2 acts there. Definitely weird though

Tbf, NME has gone down the shitter.

TBF, so has R&L

[justanothername]

Some decent names added there. La Dispute is a big one for me. Also like the additions of The Horrors, Trophy Eyes and The Front Bottoms but it's not enough to incite me. Wish they were playing the Kendrick day

Yep, kinda counter balances the weakness of the main stage headliners (bar Kendrick). It's gonna be packed in that tent though, especially for Sketpa.

TBH I'd take those 3 headliners over Fall Out Boy / Kendrick / KOL

[Rhysob99]

I just can’t see courteeners subbing Kings of Leon, so do you reckon there’ll be a co-headline there? Possibly royal blood? 

[The Martini Police]

ah yes slaves, the most popular duo in music right now

Pretty bold thing to say with the criticism about them not booking Royal Blood too, haha. 

[justanothername]

Underoath, Papa Roach and Hollywood is probably the worst set of headliners that The Pit and Lock Up have ever had.

VERY special guest main stage...

If it’s a very special guest with post malone, I reckon it’ll be whoever the biggest name on his new album will be

[Dukey]

Kendrick/Pendulum clash is heartbreaking, would have been better to have Pendulum co-head main and stick Panic in the tent opposite Kendrick

That's in reference to Slaves & Post Malone.

[pepesilvia]

post malone is possibly the greasiest human i’ve ever laid eyes on

Underoath are amazing shut up.

[Stuielooie]

the very special guest is post malone

 

Dudey is telling people on his stream travis is co-headlining with fob

[UndergroundSound]

that announcement has completely redeemed the lineup for me, some of my all-time favourite bands have been announced such as Swmrs, the regrettes, Shame, don broco slaves. then other quality acts such as travis scott and pendulum.

Is that not just for Post Malone and Slaves?

Not sure what makes them so special, maybe got them on the cheap...
