  1. I think most mid-sized bands with 3 or 4 albums are only an 'only by the night' or a 'sex on fire' away from jumping up to a headline status, however that has to be perfectly timed to co-inside with festival bookers etc.

    As far as new possibilities go.

    There are bands around who are almost there on their own merit, or have headlined other fests QOTSA, Biffy, Bloc party, soundgarden, Slipknot, SOAD, The libertines.

    Then there are different acts such as Dizzie, Florence and possibly even Plan B that could push the boundaries of R&L.

    You have band who could probably pull it off, Weezer, Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, The Vaccines(1 more album), Pendulum(reform)

    I could see in a few years The Gaslight Anthem, Bullet for My Valentine (Only after a headline slot elsewhere).

  2. Would be very surprised if they played V, they only played last year. They received backlash from Killers heading 09 and 12, Arctics doing 11 and 13 would be dumb.

    I think it's R+L or nowhere, but I'd be very happy if they're the 'indie headliner' as the other options in that category aren't that impressive.

  3. Don't NME Awards tour acts always play:

    So we can consider Django Django, Miles Kane, Peace and Palma Violets in.

    Weird thing is Django Django headlining over Miles Kane. They might get a bump up then I guess. Thought Miles Kane could sub NME one day, suppose they both may.

    Peace and Palma Violets will naturally be in the first four acts of each NME day.

    Hope none of those acts are in the announcement.

  4. 2014 I believe, but I mentioned earlier in the topic that this 20th Anniversary of Generation Terrorists may inspire them to do some shows next year. I'd love it, they were ace headlining the NME in 2008. Give them a 90 minute slot this time, so they can play GT in full and then wrap up proceedings with a few other hits. Would be incredible.
