2013 Lineup

[Weloveyouneil]

Not 100% sure but its missing that kind of guitar feel for me. Like Band of skulls, Blood red shoes, The Vaccines, Eagles of Death Metal, The Courteeners, The Cribs, The Subways, Feeder, and The black keys of last year. I dont mean these are all real great guitar bands but this years line up is short of these kind of acts for me.

Which sort of bands would you suggest would be there?

[NiallP10]

The whole line up just seems to needed bulking up, but in areas which they wont add any more acts. The eminem day looks very thin on the ground, i like foals but it just seems there should be a vampire weekend/ bloc party type act in between them and chase n status. Plus having fall out boy above deftones then someone like a dizzee, yeah yeah yeahs or the aforementioned acts slot in above lumineers (ha ha ha, disgraceful positioning).

[dentalplan]

Could anyone suggest any acts that would actually have grounds to not be announced yet?

[VCK]

I wonder if Eminem will bring Dr. Dre on as a guest?

[sjseabass]

And who would people actually class as proper 'guitar bands' on this line up? Finding it very hard to pick them out. And do people think now leeds is going down the T direction a new smaller festival could appear for indie/guitar rock.

Was looking at Bestival as an alternative but it looks as though If I buy a teen ticket. (17) I can't go without an adult. Any know much about this?

[Weloveyouneil]

Ummm...every single act on main that isn't Eminem, Chase and Status or Hadouken!...plus most of the NME stage. Plus most of the acts without stages yet. Plus all of the Lock Up once it's announced. And probably the vast majority of the FR and Introducing stages once they're announced.

Indie's dying. There's as much of it there as you could reasonably expect without booking the same bands in the same spots every year.

[mrtourette]

Hahahaha what? I suppose there is the FR stage but that main stage has pretty much no guitar bands. Maybe because they are a dying breed.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'guitar band' exactly?

[mrtourette]

I counted Foals and Lumineers too, though I can see the argument for not. Either way it's overwhelming.

I think what you mean, Weloveyouneil, is that there happen to be no guitar acts this year that you like. These things happen.

[Mouseboy11]

I just checked thinking this couldn't be right and, lo and behold, you have to go with someone over 30. That's ridiculous.

[Chinaski_]

Guess this is what everyone gets for complaining about re-booking crystal castles, shikari, tdcc, pabh etc every year.

[mrtourette]

Lack of Alabama shakes for a second year in a row is odd, especially since they're in Europe during August. Must be a decent shout for a later announcement.

[mrtourette]

Suppose the only way round it would be just buying an adult but it's quite a hike in pricing.

[DL50]

Eminem may bring on Dre

What do people think the possibility of D12 is? Either he'll bring them onstage with him or they'll play earlier on i think
