Chrisl2510 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 For people outside of this forum, Florence headlining would appeal more than Bloc Party would. Bloc Party are a popular band but Florence is much more commercial and well known to most people. My mum even has both her albums. I prefer Bloc Party btw but if Melvin is wanting to attract more people, and more newcomers then Florence is more likely to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisl2510 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Does anyone think there's a chance Laura Marling will play? Don't think I've seen her announced elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingo Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 This is excellent watching the majority of people trying to convince themselves that Flo + The Machine couldn't/wouldn't headline because they dont like her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 People are just saying that FATM aren't big enough to headline to try and convince themselves that it won't be them. I personally can't stand Flo, so I hope her and her machine stay well away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 If Flo does headline I'm taking comfort from the fact that there must be somebody awesome on the NME/Lock Up/FR to make a lot of unhappy people happy. Florence headlining against an average NME headliner would be suicide for the festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think people saying she's not big enough to headline fits in with the yearly tradition and just makes her more likely. Saying that I can think of about 20 other headliners I'd rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBarbour Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Flo might not headline, but she'd flog those day tickets - and weekend tickets - better than just about every band on the bill bar the Foos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroman123 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 The way Official R+Ls are going on about it on Twitter it doesnt make sense. They are saying the headliners are "incredible" & "you wont want to miss it, it's amazing". They are either Over-hyping everything or it generally is a "incredible" line up... But my guess is on the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edfirth Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Are At The Drive-In actually likely to play? I've got it in my head for some reason that they are definitely going to be there .. and everybody seems to have them in their line-up predictions. But as far as i know they've only confirmed as being back for Coachella so far haven't they? Would be so epic if they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YumYum Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Not sure YMA6 would be that high, and I think QOTSA will sub Foos and ATDI will headline NME, but the rest seems very feasible. Still think Linkin could headline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edfirth Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 they're headlining the second stage at download, they've got a sell-out tour and a number one album, like it or not they are big with R&L's target audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Although quite alot of people including me don't want it to happen, it looks like it will happen. Why would Melvin get an exclusive on her if she wasn't either headlining or co-headlining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubson Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) smashing pumpkins or pixies would even be a bigger draw as headliner than florence in my opinion. Edited February 28, 2012 by Tubson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just out of curiosity .. What is the bigger booking for a band to play? 2nd/3rd on main stage or NME headliner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
