Who will be announced this week?

[RaymondM]

I reckon it's gonna be mostly NME/Radio 1 Stage bands. What predictions would you place?

[Chr!s]

I think we will just get one band. A headliner for NME stage, and they will announce the other headliners from the list we already have

[Lithium05]

Some bands I can get excited about would be nice. I know some of you may be surprised to hear me say this, but this years line-up's not really doing it for me so far

Offspring

Weezer

Lostprophets

Rancid

Would be a good place to start

[smeebob]

the black lips!

but yeah, i'm looking forward to the nme lineup more than mainstage.

think of me what you will.

[Morello]

The Offspring, Lostprophets and Weezer (if they're playing)

[twenty_foot_chickens]

Jane's Addiction, Simian Mobile Disco, Sonic Youth, Black Lips, Doves, The Mars Volta, Death Cab for Cutie, Cold War Kids, Deerhunter, Little Boots & The Rakes would all be welcome.

[smeebob]

deerhunter would actually make my day. any chance of animal collective/no age/white denim?

hopefully we'll get some upcoming bands like passion pit/big pink/amazing baby/crystal antlers/golden silvers/crystal stilts.

sorry, i'm just throwing random names out there.

[bex1]

Weezer and Cold War Kids would be good.

Hoping they start announcing some of the smaller stuff soon, I'm really hoping to see Fight Like Apes and Johnny Foreigner...

Main stage lineup is ok so far, but I dislike main stages in general because to get a decent view you also have to be trampled. Which is fun at first but by Sunday isn't worth the pain a your bruises get bruises... Or am I just a wuss?

If they annouce Sonic Youth, I will eat my monitor with joy

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I reckon The Cure and Lostprophets as NME headliners (the white lies on friday thing has made me think its the cure since theyre fans of white lies). Also I think we'll get Frank Turner, f**ked Up, The Mars Volta, The Rakes, Youmeatsix (Maybe not til after slam dunk or download though)

[RapidAmp]

OfficialRandL more bands will be added at 7pm tonight on nme.com!!!

[ionicmoose]

Originally said Tues/Wed but seems its been changed to 7pm tonight. Unless they're drip feeding us them throughout the week?

I'm praying for offspring at same time as KoL, or if it's not gonna be offspring, then make sure lostprophets are same time as KoL instead

[ionicmoose]

They should announce 1 or 2 bands every Monday at 7pm, would keep everyone interested and would stop the influx of "When iz da nxt annuncment?!?! plzzzzz"

[MJMilz14]

LostProphets NME Headliner on Friday (reading)

Probably the sunday NME headliner, and maybe they will split the NME bands into days and order.

Not expecting a great deal more.

special NME/R1 stage announcement

A week on from tickets go on sale we have announced three headliners, and 25 other names.

Get ready for a very special announcement for the NME/Radio1 stage tomorrow..."

Looks like we're getting a big announcement. Not sure if those 3 headliners & 25 other names include the ones previously announced. Was meant to be 11am this morning, but has been pushed back for whatever reason.
