[gazza_20]

That's great, 77 other people have already said it but that's still great.

No they haven't lol. everyone on here refused to believe they'd play higher than sub yet so that's bull.

they will have to headline as V will offer more than R&L to have them sub anyway, it'll be a Vaccines case, they had to play 3rd to keep them from R&L. Can't really explain the Flo one, V would've offered her more to sub, obvs weren't offering headline, she may've just wanted to actually play R&L instead.

[Mouseboy11]

Oh Gazza, you're more than a superstar.

There's as many people on here thinking they'll headline than there is people thinking they'll sub.

[gazza_20]

Absolute nonsense (as usual), there's even a thread here titled "Mumford & Sons Will Headline R&L 2013" and a number of people (including myself) have said in this thread that they're headline-size.

[Gucci Piggy]

well i said it along time ago too but not everyone thinks they headline. can people really see Mumford and Arctics there though?

[gazza_20]

Oh Gazza, you're more than a superstar.

[gazza_20]

So did I, but who cares? And if there's no better option that could easily happen. Personally I think it'll be Depeche Mode, Mumfords and Black Sabbath, with Arctic Monkeys the next most likely.

[Gucci Piggy]

you actually called what i thought was the most realistic prediction, and i remember saying that too. Depeche I'm undecided on, kinda would like to see them but they don't quite justify the money. And I'm certain I'll see Mumford at T next year so that wouldn't do it either, i saw Sabbath at download. I reckon DM is more likely than Arctics though, they could just as easily do their own thing.

The Prodigy and Bloc party as two subs surely?

[Lewis Cato]

Pretty solid. I'd really appreciate a Sunday headliner, but would get a weekend ticket anyway.

[mrtourette]

Non as usual, bull!

I know they're bloody headline size, everyone knows that, but doesn't make it obviously going to happen.

Lol, okay, so someone says Mumford will headline thread, that just means it going to happen, stop talking shit. All I said was make a statement from a festival boss recently that stated they won't take a sub, and that's more official than anything anyone's said on here.

Call it what you what, call me what you want, but until that, it was still debateable

[Andre91]

NME put an article up for Albums Of The Year in the past, in 2005 Arcade Fire - Funeral came 2nd to Bloc Party -Silent Alarm

[Mouseboy11]

Silent Alarm is a great album!

[gazza_20]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

Of course it was debatable, but you said that nobody else had said that if Mumford play, they'll headline, but in fact lots of people have already said that.

[Lewis Cato]

YOU ARE ALL GETTING GENUINELY IRATE ABOUT PREDICTIONS FOR BANDS PLAYING AT A FESTIVAL. AND I AM GETTING IRATE FOR YOU GETTING IRATE ABOUT THAT. WHICH PROBABLY MEANS I'M NO BETTER.

Oh.

[lharris92]

seems like the image in the spoiler is legit at the moment

[2rare2die]

I think the issue with Rancid is they're probably too big/expensive to headline Lock Up, but don't have the widespread appeal that their fee on Main/NME would warrant; although there is a minority that ask for Rancid year on year that definitely is a minority, so I think unless Lock Up really blow out on them one year it won't happen.

[Mouseboy11]

From previous conversation about NME bumming Palma Violets. What is with their love in with MIA? they voted Bad Girls 2nd best track of the year and they always seem to rate her highly despite the fact she's shite.

They're playing the same sized venues as Deftones though, and last night was a definite sellout, probably the fullest I've ever seen Rock City. They have a dedicated fan base and are no less popular than bands like NoFX I'd say, so they'd still attract people.

[dentalplan]

Gigwise did a poll, apparently, about who fans would most like to see at R+L.

1. The Killers

2. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

3. Biffy Clyro

4. Depeche Mode

5. Blur

Not really that interesting, but I was particularly surprised at Depeche Mode being fourth after we've mentioned so often about demographic and stuff, and ahead of Blur who I'd expect to be right up the top.

[2rare2die]

Yeah that's a fair point; have they ever played on main stage before? I don't know whether they'd want to headline a stage or not.
