2013 Lineup

[VCK]

They were one of those 15 year old girls look at me I listen to lads music and watch football. Attention seeking Bellends.

[eFestivals]

I see it more as a tradition now, "Who the fuck is Arcade Fire" "Who the fuck is Black Keys" "Who the fuck are Alt-J" etc

it's the modern version of "where's all the metalz lol"

[jump]

Has Thrash Hits said anything about what happened to their Biffy & System rumour?

[VCK]

Maybe it's because they are older than 16 that they don't know them? There has already been a regular poster in the thread who said they have never heard of them.

[she bangs the drums]

Me too, but I also have to say that if you've never heard of Alt-J then you aren't in touch with music much nowadays.

[Mouseboy11]

Indeed, loads like that on Twitter. They all claim to like the same bands to look "Indie": Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, Joy Division, The Jam, The Libertines. I mean, I like all those bands, but they're not the be-all, end-all of music.

http://twitter.com/totes_Indie is a brilliant send up of these types of people.

I must be totally out of touch with popular music! I have seen their name but before today I had never heard their music or realised that they were anywhere big enough to headline the NME Stage.

Make no mistake, when the full line-up is announced there will be a lot of bleating over the absence of Atreyu, Anthrax and Killswitch Engage.

[Mouseboy11]

It appears that for every person telling Wiley he's shit another is telling him how much they can't wait to see him. Ugh.

[jammy2211]

I have no idea who or what an Alt-J is. I'm sure I'll have heard a song though. Maybe.

Tbh I have no idea who anyone but Deftones is. Getting old I guess, will be interested to see how the dance tent pans out though. Could be great but I'd imagine it won't be.

INTHE EYES OF A JACKAL I SAY KA-BOOM.

Come on Billy..I know you want to smash the NME to pieces...

[AcademicPistol]

Who the fuck is Boy Better Known?

[guitarbhoy1888]

has everyone forgot about noel gallagher ?

played just about everywhere apart from RnL this year :/

[mrtourette]

Nobody's forgotten about him, apparently he isn't doing much touring next year.

Dont go there, it would only start gazza predicting.

[spector95]

I have indeed heard of, and really like, Alt-J but I just don't think they're big enough to headline the NME stage. They would be a good sub but I just think the bump up to headliner from not even appearing on it last year is too much in one go. Plus, if DM and Sabbath headlined it would definitely put me off - I wouldn't mind if there were indeed strong NME headliners to make up for it, but i don't think i'll be paying £200 if the rest of the NME headliners are about as strong as Alt-J. I'm 17, and don't mind Wiley but I don't think Wiley/ Skepta etc. should be the acts aimed at the younger age ranges, as it doesn't particularly appeal to me. Hmm, I know it's only an early announcement but it's very disappointing.

[thetime]

Calling it would be a bit far. But I defo mentioned it in a set of 3 headers and put the question out how it would look. Remember getting a would love that. In fact, the debate about them went on for ages, until someone said, this isn't actually serious is it

[guitarbhoy1888]

thinking about it i would have prefered they didnt even mention an announcement before xmas

im quite happy with gettin it in march but then they done this with the timer and stuff and caused hype, then shot us down

crap.
