2013 Lineup

[Bisque]

Dizzee for a mid gig slot like Madness? Can't see it though as he'd be a big ticket seller

[luckysalt]

These people, why didnt they just go to V?

[guitarbhoy1888]

i dont see him as a big ticket seller atm tbh.

i dont think many people would buy a ticket purely on him being announced.

wouldnt be surprised at him playing 3rd or even 4th ...

[guitarbhoy1888]

i mean lets be honest.

most people would go for about 3, maybe 4, songs

[Chrisl2510]

Looks like they'll be sticking to a saturday day ticket for Eminem.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

If the atmosphere is half as good as that this year i will be happy. Very skeptical though

[GuitarManDan15]

I would guess the lumineers, or however you spell it are that high as they were subject to a bidding war bettern R+L and V. R+L had to offer them 4th to stop V getting them?

Just playing devils advocate and trying to rationalize why one of my favourite bands is below a band ive never even heard of

[Mouseboy11]

Foals absolutely blew me away tonight, unreal live band. Deserve that third placing.

[Com Truise]

reading or leeds?

[Chrisl2510]

Well it won't be at Leeds if biffy get more than 90 mins as it will be in broad fucking daylight

[Asdaprice]

Yeah and i don't suppose there will be as many people there who know their songs :/

[lightning1000]

More simply, they thought they deserved the spot. It's that simple. No need to theorise it.

[Chrisl2510]

It was 1 of the greatest sets I've ever witnessed. The production as a whole, lights, props, was insane. I'm sure they'll be great this year too, make sure you don't miss them!

[lightning1000]

Oh and check out head like a hole reading 07 too. It'll give you a good feel of how good they were in both rock and mellow senses

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Lumineers got nominated for a grammy.

I think Editors should be higher (headlining tent on the Eminem night if i'm being honest) but whatever, they'll be class regardless

[Asdaprice]

Nah its a typo that they should rectify immediately. Id be insulted if I was editors and found out a 1 song band had been placed above me. In fact a one song band who's one song wasn't even that big, it definitely didn't sell enough to justify that position. It's my only real issue with the whole line up.

Oh and no billy talent or ax7

[Asdaprice]

I'll be honest they're one of those bands that just kind of passed me by, not intentionally, i just never got into them. Then because everyone was raving about them on here i bought a couple of their albums and now I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Quite ashamed of myself for leaving it so late!

[Chrisl2510]

Better late then never! I checked them out pre reading and bought the year zero album. Been addicted since

[Asdaprice]

Which, in your opinion, is their best album?

Edited March 12, 2013 by Asdaprice

[kaosmark2]

The Fragile

With Teeth

Broken

Pretty Hate Machine

Downward Spiral

The Slip

Year Zero

Ghosts

[lightning1000]

I agree with you, but it's no typo. Look at it this way, Editors are maybe "past their best" albeit still a great band. They think lumineers are gonna get massive, so grant them a better spot. I agree it should be the other way round, but if you think of it from a "need to give more new bands a shot" perspective, then it works.

No billy talent and Avenged is not great for me either man, but avenged are making a new album so probably pretty tied up and hopefully billy talent play under NFG
