I don't get this fuss about New Found Glory, album is 42 minutes long and the slot for a 6th placed band last year was 45 minutes.

Shitty pop punk band.

[DL50]

I've been massively converted to Nine Inch Nails this morning!

I hope they don't get a small crowd

how many more bands need anouncing for the main stage?

[mrtourette]

Looks like three for each day.

[the wonderwhy]

Bloc party must have wanted to sub and got offered 3rd id imagine, same with xx

[Benj]

Yes they may be a commercial/mainstream flavour of the month and as they are likely to have attracted attention from V may have been part of a bidding war, but that's nothing new. Yes it's a higher slot than anyone expected but again why is that a surprise, it's been happening at R&L for years?

[thetime]

Meanwhile, as someone who bought the first 2 Editors albums, have they even released anything since their shocking 3rd??

I know which band I'd rather see (Editors) but I also know why they have been placed where they are

[DanLawless]

I do think a lot of the grief The Lumineers are getting is a little harsh, but saying that I quite like them. Classy girls is a decent song

[areyouhopingforamiracle]

it's actually frightening how weak the line up is this year. i mean, chase and status sub headlining? the past few years have seen the black keys, the strokes, bloc party, the libertines and qotsa sub headline. but chase and status!? they don't even have a picture on wikipedia... skrillex headlining the nme is just a big joke... foals aren't big enough to be 3rd on main... Editors headlined rock werchter last year and yet they are 5th from the top on the main... the list of oddities goes on. the only acts saving the festival are green day and eminem.

[constantnothing]

I like him but i'm a bit confused by his booking. Frank Ocean would be so much better. Or even Kenrick Lamar a bit lower down

Alternatively, i think maybe he would look better with an indie band headlining above him, because him and Skrillex just looks so weak in my opinion

They've put Skrillex above him because he featured in an A$AP song, they'll probably do a collab.

[thetime]

to me it just seems a bit of a head scratcher that all the bands touring that they have not booked any to make it more solid.

bands like xx, hurts, bloc party, joy formidables, modest mouse, dizzee rascal for example.

Now if there idea is to totally aim at the teenage market thats all very well, very short sighted though. You would imagine that its the workers and not the students who have the disposable income to actully buy the tickets.

Just my opinion though.

[constantnothing]

I very much doubt that's why he's subbing Skrillex, they could collaberate even if he was lower down on the bill.

Editors headlined Werchter and Reading have them as well, not even headlining! Not a bad booking. Editors' success in UK has never been as big as it is in Belgium.
