2013 Lineup

[ladbrokeboy]

looking at bands from this years line up that could "step up" who do you think he's on about?

i'll guess at the likes of django django,of monsters and men,bastille and jake bugg who's profile have all become quite a bit bigger since this years fest

[dip]

The Hives, Twin Atlantic, Lucy Rose, Don Broco, Dog Is Dead, Palma Violets, We Are The In Crowd are all bands that went down well and could get pushed up

i would really like to the hives to be booked again, before the fest i couldnt believe they were that low down in the tent. me and my friends stood outside watching as it was packed. with the hype nme are giving palma violets they'll be booked again , probably mid way on the nme

I agree with all of these, i thought Jake Bugg would be around 3rd on NME but IOW have him booked above the Maccabees, so who knows how high he could play now

I also have a growing concern that the Vaccines could be back to play 3rd, or even sub under Mumford and Sons

[dip]

they subbed this year under flo and kasabian.

subbing KOL at V would not surprise me

[Andre91]

[gazza_20]

...so they played third?

[Mouseboy11]

I hope Weezer play, all I've ever heard about their 2010 set is great things.

[Tobieski]

If The Lumineers were booked, where would they play? I'd say 3rd or 4th on the NME

[sjseabass]

He's advertised above Maccabees, which obviously means festival promoters think he'll be a big draw next summer, but that poster doesn't necessarily reflect undercard positioning so I imagine he'll be 4th/5th, whereas The Maccabees are definitely 3rd.

Yup, next time Vaccines are back they'll be subbing, probably not next year though, off the back of a 3rd album wouldn't surprise me though

I think the biggest movers this year will be Alt-J (as we've seen) Django Django and Jake Bugg, and possibly Tribes (could they headline the FR?).

I'd like to see Twin Atlantic and Joy Formidable given bumps next year though, their sets were definitely within my top 5 of the fest

[kev1664]

As much as I love them and went to see them this year on the NME stage (my 6th time seeing them in 2 years! And at least twice next year ) I don't really understand why The Joy Formidable played this year. Should've left it and got a bump on the back of the new album imo.

I expect Jake Bugg, Of Monsters And Men, Twin Atlantic to be mid/lower mid on main, maybe 5th/6th/7th down respectively. Palma Violets mid NME. Djangp Django maybe high NME on Alt-J day, or could headline one of the days on the new Dance Stage depending on what sort of direction they're going in with it (I see them as kinda similar to Metronomy who did it this year).

As yet unmentioned: I think Two Door Cinema Club will play 3rd main. Maybe Spector low main too.

[lharris92]

Weezer, InMe & Rise Against would be

would include more but not really thinking at the moment

[Mouseboy11]

They are fantastic live and are arguebly better at a fest than at their own gigs, when I saw them at Reading and Soni they did a greatest hits (plus the odd cover) but at their own shows they like to play the rarities.

[the wonderwhy]

you've got to be doing something right is Dave Grohl is going round requesting you on the undercard

They're one of the best live bands I've seen, hope their new album takes off & they get a high mainstage slot in the next couple of years

[mrtourette]

Thoroughly agree, wonderful band.

[Andre91]

I'd like to see The Maccabees return next year. I've only just got into them properly and I opted for The Cure at Leeds instead. 4th down main would be the right spot for them imo

I reckon they'd probably sub Latitude- perhaps under Bloc Party?

But yeah, they're another band I'd like to see make into the top 3

[Dukeeyyy]

I reckon The Courteeners and Maccabees could be two of the bands, they were class in the tent last year, maybe Gaslight
