2013 Lineup

[DL50]

He's this guy who could only afford half a haircut and produces 'music' that sounds like an elephant shagging a dial-up modem.

[Dukeeyyy]

Eminem/Chase and Status

Mumford/Biffy

Sabbath/Prodigy

Can't see Skrillex subbing, headlining NME, yes, but subbing Main, please NOOOO

[Lewis Cato]

I don't see much difference between Skrillex and C&S subbing, apart from there not being a major festival where Skrillex has subbed yet.

[GuitarManDan15]

I fucking hate skillex but if you think he'd headline the dance tent you're just wrong. I don't care if the dance tent is upped in capacity skrillex would be a huge booking, be his first real festival gig. I think nme headliner would be the best place up against sabbath maybe? Or with this 'new direction' he could sub eminem

[Muppetmark]

Skrillex wouldn't sub, his set requires darkness so he will head a stage and won't sub, just my 2 pence.

[rug568]

Skrillex would be a step too far.

[DL50]

Why are we even talking about him though surely there are other more viable options

Biffy seem nailed on

Bloc Party?

I would also love to see the XX sub

[Babyquack]

People say that about a few bands like sigur ros and xx.

[thetime]

Sigur Ros took a hissy fit at Bestival because they didn't play in the dark.

[Lewis Cato]

Actually now that The xx subbing has been mentioned I think that would be a far better idea than Skrillex.

Also thinking about it I reckon that The Prodigy will headline instead of Blur; they have a new album to promote so will do a big festival show, and I can't see them doing V.

[MJMilz14]

I'm going to rule it out.

My reasons, he's playing mallorca rocks on august 23th, he'd have to fly back and play reading and leeds over Saturday and Sunday, which I think would mean with the 3 headers thought most possible now, i couldn't see any day but Eminem that would meaning he'd have to play Saturday and Sunday. I don't see Mumford or Sabbath going based on these, even Blur giving a fuck about him much.

Also think if he plays glastonbury it'll be Saturday or Sunday. Whereas V Festival is completely open. My guess and just a guess would be that going by his main stage slot this year he'll work upto 4Music stage header and then keep away for a while.

[thewayiam]

I think he was joking Gazza...

[Hawky]

Skrillex would not sub main hahaha. Be a waste, because it will be light plus it just wouldn't be right. If he was going to play it would be joint headline NME like Justice/ 2manyDjs.

Would have been much better for him to play last year because Korn were in Europe in August, and them two have done songs together. Korn and Skrillex joint headliners for nme.

I dont think C&S are sub size either. When they were announced for Download, there was a shit storm haha. Plus i though i read somewhere The Prodigy requested them to sub :S.
