2013 Lineup

[Luke Routledge]

If they could headline it and I think it's one step too far then that combo in NME on Eminem's day I think is perfect for the alternatives.

Would be a bit similar to ATDI and The Cribs from last year.

I think I just heard the sound of everyone on this thread creaming

Honestly I think reading would win lineup of the century is it was BLACK SABBATH System Of A Down EMINEM The Prodigy BIFFY CLYRO Nine Inch Nails. I had to do that so I could stare at in and love

If this NIN comes to light could you imagine if the subs were system, prodigy, and NIN? Possible and ridiculously mentally stunning in my opinion

It would be a great set of subs and if The Gaslight Anthem subbed the NME Eminem day then people who are just like not The Prodigy have a decent alternative. My gut feeling would be NME sub for both Gaslight and Rise Against. You Me At Six above The Gaslight Anthem. Crystal Castles above Rise Against. Actually wondering if with that it could end up Rise Against NME into Biffy main, I think that's go down pretty well. Alt-J up against SOAD's header would be my guess and Jake Bugg is like the ideal sub against SOAD, a mate of mine loves both but the majority might not. Does that sound plausible?

[thewayiam]

How do you mean? I would say that Rise Against are more popular among the R&L crowd and gaslight seem to be massive right now.

[thewayiam]

Ae gaslight not nme headliner size these days? If not then sub nme would be a great shout

[Chinaski_]

I really like Gaslight, but they really need a break from Reading. Bored of seeing them all the time tbh.

[The Placid Casual]

Gaslight are my shout for NME header. I don't think so at R&L quite, they've worked their way up Downloads bill quicker and the fact they'd probably get a slot higher there anyway.

I don't know if R&L would be able to take them as an NME header, giving them a longer set than at Download then and potentially taking tickets from Download.

Nine inch nails playing usa in april.

Summer festival tour in europe and then back to usa for more dates in the autumn?

[Luke Routledge]

Just that you're going from a light based rock band into a heavier RA style like they did. I wouldn't bet against RA totally to me NME headers I guess.

This statement pretty much shows how evident it is that many big bands can headline Download but not take that slot at R&L automatically

[Chinaski_]

That sounds good to me!

something like this maybe:

Lollapalooza

Pukkelpop

Lowlands

Reading/Leeds

[thelionsmouth]

would be a good lineup for metal/heavy rock fans, but for indie/british rock fans it wouldn't be particularly good.

[thewayiam]

Could you post your prediction on the prediction thread. I'd like to see it

I prefer indie bands to 'heavy' bands, but I'd be happy with that line up. NIN and SOAD would be great bookings.

[Chinaski_]

aren't those dates quoting HTDA's tour dates, says at the top NIN (HTDA), but they are exactly the kind of sub to book, one that isn't around all the time but popular and a ticket for Biffy's day at £80+ is needed to see them.
