2013 Lineup

[gazza_20]

I am 99.9999999% sure Alt J will headline the NME...

[the wonderwhy]

After he says about this is what reading and leeds festival does, there is a last bit where he goes onto say about stepping up.

[gazza_20]

yes, but he doesn't imply that they've actually booked a headliner that has stepped up, just that R&L is a good place to do so.

[thetime]

I know, was just adding to the context. I actually think he generally means R&L focuses on all 3 generally as a festival regularly. Defo don't think there is anything to suggest much, except for to get everyone talking MORE SHIT on here

[rug568]

A bit off topic but had me thinking. I have just bought a ticket to Bilbao BBK due to the price of the tickets plus weather of festivals in this country (thinking of download and leeds 2011). Would this put any of you lot off going to a festival next year?

be 100%, you should be, it's confirmed

[willutalk]

You should never be 100% certain! Nothin is ever 100%! Plenty of things could happen. Split up, voice problems, illness, broken foot!

James addiction were Booked to headline NME in 2011 and didn't! Slipknot were booked to play 3rd top 2008 and didn't!

[kev1664]

Could slipknot be booked for this year?? who knows?? Yo can never be 100% certain that they will not...

[Yellow_Fellow]

[gazza_20]

99.9r = 100

and it was sarcasm

[thetime]

I'm going to sziget this year which looks a lot better, but I think a lot of the european festivals cost less because you get less. The weather is defiantly a plus, as is the cheaper alcohol but you can't have everything.

[Yellow_Fellow]

seemed like you were correcting something he knew is all

[Andy0808 v3.0]

so Bieber could headline?! Nothing is 100%

[Dead throne]

I am the 99%. No jk, i've got tons if money.

[OllieBaker90]

so is it most likely that a headliner and possibly some other acts will be announced before christmas?

[Bisque]

Who knows?

[Mouseboy11]

Scissor Sisters to headline.

[2rare2die]

If they sub the main stage, I can't see them subbing anyone but SOAD and Sabbath. One would just be a total repeat at a festival the previous year that's actually designed for that booking - note the day tickets did not sell out that day at their Demographic apparantly. Two, SOAD's headline comeback has gone, yes they can sell a few dates, but can they as a headliner sell tickets at £85 a pop?

[gazza_20]

Huh? If you're talking about Download, then Sabbath and Biffy played on different days, so not quite sure why if would be a total repeat of another festival, or why you're talking about day tickets not selling out for THAT day.

[2rare2die]

this is to a sabbath/soundgarden head and sub m8. nothing to do with biffy, but now u mention it, potentially two headliners, and 3 subs from a years before download if u put chase n status in there too. no chance. might as well just book metallica as well.

[Millar95]

John Giddings who runs IOW festival put on twitter along the lines that Mumfords wouldn't play IOW as sub, hmm maybe their egos have grown massively and they won't accept nothing but a headline slot, or maybe that's just for IOW

[mrtourette]

A bit unfair about their ego, they're probably a headline band now. They headlined Rockness this year and have sold 17 billion records since then.
