2013 Lineup

[jump]

I have always had Editors as 3rd in my predictions, if new album is good i definitely think they will be big enough

If Biffy are now headlining here is my prediction:

Just enough to twist my arm in to getting a weekend ticket.

However I would much prefer SOAD/Prodigy.

I can't see A7X being above Deftones or higher than where Bullet played this year. Both of those bands are more suited to R&L's audience.

[Lewis Cato]

Yeah that's true; it'd be a bit silly to have the smallest NME headliner (hopefully) up against the smallest main stage headliner.

A7X sold out an entire tour which included two nights at Hammersmith Apollo in 15 minutes so I'd argue that that's enough to warrant a bigger slot than Deftones.

[Millar95]

I just can't see the xx fitting under any of them headliners in my opinion. But of course, just my opinion.

[Lewis Cato]

How quickly did One Direction tickets sell?

[dentalplan]

Great news on Biffy (well, instead of Mumfords). Still don't think I'll believe Thrash Hits' tweet yet though.

Think all the NME headliners will be sorta indie if it's Eminem, Biffy and then Sabbath or something of that ilk headlining main. Foals, Alt-J, then between Friendly Fires, Noah and the Whale, White Lies.

I consider One Direction slightly different to A7X considering A7X have played before and under Sabbath is fitting.

One Direction are like the Godwin's law of music arguments.

Well time will tell I guess.

[Lewis Cato]

I bet you my free bacon bap it'll happen.

[mrtourette]

You're on.

Someone made a good point the other day about Rise Against headlining the NME, that'd be good against Eminem I think. Alt-J, Rise Against & Foals as NME headliners.

To butt in the A7X conversation, I think they would play 3rd, but would love to see them sub. I think they'd play higher than Deftones, although I think they will play 3rd anyway.

[LondonTom]

BIFFY!!!!!! this has perked my interest again Knew they would be able to headline and it makes alot of sense!

Will be going for a day ticket if nothing else if they don't headline another UK fest! (Which if they do Reading, would be an exclusive festival performance I think!)

Biffy, Eminem against Foals in the NME and Sabbath would get me there for the weekend!

I stole my mates bap tickets on the train up last year.

We got to the campsite and he was gutted he'd lost them, so I sold him mine for a fiver.

Great times.

[Andre91]

I think Rise Against are big enough but not a big enough name if you know what I mean? Then again I'm sure the name At the Drive-In meant naff-all to most of the people who went last year.

[Lewis Cato]

Yeah that's a pretty solid argument; I don't think it's the most likely but you've convinced me a fair bit.

On the flipside though you could argue that as they've got heavy headliners their NME headliners will be more indie, so the "heavy" headliner won't be too heavy, a la Placebo/Manics/My Bloody Valentine.
