2013 Lineup

[kemosabe]

if Editors are announced where are they likley to play in terms of stage and act?? how well known?? and the same with Everything Everything??

[DL50]

Sempiternal is such an incredible record. As a BMTH fan it is so great to see the progress they make on every album. Each one is better than the last. I can see big things for this band for sure. I predict they will be 4th top on main below Deftones but would love them to be higher. The way things are going they could be moving up that line up easily.

[kemosabe]

General consensus seems to be that Editors would be 4th on the main or NME headliners

As for Everything EVerything, personally i'd say 3rd/4th on the NME or 6th/7th on the main

[kev1664]

Where have you heard it? I didn't think it was out yet, i'm looking forward to it!

[Com Truise]

They'll almost definitely still be playing but i think much lower than i previously predicted. I used to think 4th/5th on NME but i'm now gonna say more like 7th/8th

[the wonderwhy]

They'll be a little bit higher than Tribes were last year I'd imagine.

[NiallP10]

really that high... whould have thought both whould be lower and niether are big enough to get on the main stage ... especially EE Thanks anyway

[PDAD]

Id very surprised if the Editors were any lower than third down, but that could just be me.

[NiallP10]

3rd/4th or NME header i reckon...They are not anywhere near as big in the UK as they are elsewhere unfortunately.

[PDAD]

My guess would be third, they still get a bit of air time on radio stations like XFM every so often and thats with no album released for ages, so if the albums got a few good singles on it i can imagine they'd sit pretty comfortably in third. Plus their still bigger over here than the national.

[NiallP10]

I reckon they could very easily play 3rd and no eyebrows will be raised at all...On the other hand, i can see Deftones and FOB playing 3rd...and Foals maybe even as well...If not, VW, Bloc Party and Chase and Status even i reckon could play there.

So yeah, i reckon they could play 3rd but i think they are more likely to play 4th (if for nothing else other than the competition).

[PDAD]

I think Bloc Party would sub it, cant really seeing them accepting third even with Four not exactly being the most commercially successful album of last year. Also, cant really see chase n status doing it now, but then again i wouldnt be surprised, nor would i would be with a poppier act like example or dizzee. But ye, thinking about it it is quite saturated in the 2nd - 4th positions so bands id expect to play a bit higher could get moved down.

[BrutalLegend]

Chance of The Enemy playing?

[NiallP10]

Yeah exactly...Bloc Party 2nd/3rd, VW maybe 3rd, Deftones 3rd/4th, Yeah Yeah Yeahs 3rd/nme, FOB 3rd, Foals 3rd/4th, Editors 3rd/4th..

These are just a few of the bands i think are likely for those positions and of all of them, i think Editors in the UK would be one of the first to be dropped to 4th.

[PDAD]

Ye maybe, Foals are getting quite popular recently, plus the added chance of more poppy/ drum n base maybe being included to satisfy the new comers the festival is trying to lure in may mean they move down the line up. Thinking about it, id probably rather editors drop down the line up (as long as the acts above are decent) as i don't think id need it to be late or for them to have a big crowd and atmosphere to enjoy them.

Speaking to NME, Benn said: “We've got two out of the three headliners already secured. The third – we know exactly who we want.

“We haven't made the approach yet, [but] my feeling is they want to do it.”

I know he's full of shit but who were the headliners already booked do we think?

Still think that it's Green Day, some sort of agreement from last year. I missed their secret set due to being at Tesco but when i got to the main stage it was packed full of people watching on the screens.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Foals and Enter Shikari dishing on each other on Twitter. Awkward for R&L right now.

[ashrichards]

What do you mean by who were the headliners already booked? Like the 2 he'd secured? Definitely Eminem and probably Biffy seeing as they were the first 2 announced.

And could this mean it's not Sabbath, as they were supposedly already in talks, and would have therefore already approached them?

Not sure how long ago the talks were though, when was this article?

[Com Truise]

It was just after the festival last year. So surely it was a marketing ploy to announce Eminem and Biffy when he did. I bet he already had all three booked by the first announcement. They've got to leave a huge headliner to sell the tickets on line-up release. Eminem will sell fuck loads of day tickets but not necessarily loads of weekend tickets. I'm guessing he was announced early to bring publicity to attracting a new audience.

[Asdaprice]

Any headliners going to be huge in their book. jus sayin.....

[Com Truise]

just want NIN
