2013 Lineup

[ComeCloser]

PUMPED about Editors rumours...

My Ideal fest right now...

Friday

Main - Eminem

NME - Editors

Saturday

Main - Biffy

NME - Primal Scream

Sunday

Main - SOAD

NME - Alt - j

Throw in Miles Kane, Shikari (again), OMAM, Jake Bugg, Mona, Frank Turner and a 2nd set from Serj Tankian... I can wish

[Justiceforcedave]

Have I missed something or is there a reason why people seem so sure Biffy are going to headline? I know that they're a strong rumor but have they been pipped as a def headliner?

[kev1664]

Main: Eminem

Sub: The Prodigy

Third: Dizzie Rascal

Fourth: Frank Turner

NME: Bullet for my Valentine

Main: Biffy

Sub: Mumford & Sons

Third: The XX

Fourth: Editors

NME: Foals

Main: SOAD

Sub: Soundgarden

Third: Weezer

Fourth: Deftones

NME: Alt-j

Although far too strong, so probably need all the second placed bands to disappear and all thirds move up one.

Wish people would stop asking for Prodigy. Watched them in 09, and at Download twice, and I really don't get what the fuss is about. Just a couple of twats shouting "My *insert festival name* warriors" over pre-recorded music... How does that get such a following?! It beggars belief!

Bring Me the Horizon are energetic, doesn't make them good!

Honestly though, I only watched the whole set once, (at Download times there were better options) and really don't get it. Each to their own and all that, but there really were no redeeming features to the '09 Reading set in my book. It's not that I hate them altogether, I own a couple of albums, but I just expect more from live acts than a couple of dickheads shouting over a recording of them singing!

I thought prodigy were fantastic in 2009, they destroyed it for arctic monkeys in 2009.

[Justiceforcedave]

As for Biffy, neil sounded confident that he had some info that they are headlining

[eFestivals]

I've had some info that they're headlining, that I'm strongly inclined to believe.

However, I've not been able to check it out by other means as yet, so I'm hedging my bets slightly by not marking them as a 'tbc' just yet.

But having said that, I'd be quite happy to put a bet on that Biffy will headline - so I am pretty confident that it's right.

[Hawky]

What do people think of this guy? get him singing on BBC introducing i say

What did I just watch?

[Hucksy]

Any suggestions for the undercard? And yes, NIN is nothing more than hope, I know it won't happen.

Did Neil ever say any more on Mumfords removal from V rumours and addition to R+L?

I know even mentioning the word goes against everything I stand for but I've started to think them and Biffy could...

[SOAD]

NIN before SOAD is one of the most ideal festival top 2s I could ever ask for... would be too brilliant to ever happen... but then again we had NIN into SP and that was suitably brilliant also
