2013 Lineup

[jump]

My Bloody Valentine are touring, chances of them headlining the NME a la Jane's Addiction (yes, before you point it out, I know, but they were booked) in 2011 and At The Drive-In this year?

[Guest]

I pretty easily got tickets for their Manchester show, if you want to see them, now is the time to buy! Who else do we think could fulfill that reformed cult legends NME headline slot? In a perfect world I'd want Pavement, but that's massively unlikely.

[Gucci Piggy]

it'd need a fair lot to be honest. the amount of money in question needs more than just 3 headliners. but headliner wise, eminem is a huge pull - that alone made me question not going. sabbath would do it. soad - i partly think they'd only sub and that may stop them playing all together but they'd do it, linkin park would - but i'd rather see them at their own show, though i thoroughly enjoyed them at download last year. blur may do the job as well

[Gucci Piggy]

Also, The xx or Foals opposite Eminem please. MBV would be awesome but I can't see it.

while it's in there and possible, i still believe Mumford have a very good shout at headlining Glasto, better not say that too loud though.

but since T has gone to 3 days especially, there hasn't been a year that a glasto header has not been shared, bar 06 due to glasto not being on. That year T grabbed The Who before glasto. 07 and kinda 11 T and Glasto shared two although beyonce was a header at glasto and not at T.

even when T was a 2 day event, glasto had shared. It's hard to see past then due to not knowing T's before 2002 history.

Yeah I suppose it's possible, but I still think they'll play R&L instead. At least then anyone else will be a nice surprise.

Would that lineup get you back though?

Other ideas for subs: Dizzee Rascal, Stereophonics, Example, Paul Weller, Jimmy Page, Noel Gallagher, Skrillex, New Order, Primal Scream, Deadmau5, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pixies, the Darkness and Iggy and the Stooges.

Some of them are ridiculously unlikely.

Would love Primal Scream, New Order or Pixies, can't see any of those happening. Really doubt PS and NO are big enough to sub.

[sammylee]

Primal Scram would headline the NME or play 3rd down in my opinion.

[jonnomanofsteele]

To be honest, most of those names I just plucked from previous lineups and I want to play! PJ Harvey in the NME tent would be immense.

[Guest]

Primal Scream and New Order are absolutely big enough to sub, one could even argue they're headliners. Pixies, now there's a band who's greatness would be insulted by a sub slot. Example strikes me more as 3rd down at R&L, sub at V.

This year's 3rds were The Vaccines, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Kaiser Cheifs, they ever let bloody Paramore sub, New Order and Primal Scream are subs.

[the wonderwhy]

Was there any mention of Eminem being an exclusive?

I find it hard to believe Arctics wont play a UK fest this year. Bestival would be brilliant, they need to start pulling in slightly bigger headliners (Stevie Wonder & The Cure a bloody good start at that)
