2013 Lineup

[Last Nights Hero]

Suede announced for Belfast 24th August, ruling them out. Would of been great on the NME stage.

[jump]

Bullet For My Valentine are playing Belsonic the Monday after Reading with Bring Me The Horizon, does this make them likely to play again? I know their at Download but bands have played both Download & Reading in the same year before.

[LondonTom]

Jake Bugg is Eminem day then.

Hopefully he's not under Alt-J like loads predicted...

[lightning1000]

Hopefully not!, the other days are shaping up nicely for me! I want the NME headliner I most like against Eminem, Alt-J would be a travesty.

[Millar95]

I'd prefer Eminem vs Alt J than Greenday vs Alt J. I could tolerate going to see Eminem as he was my younger teenage years, whereas I've never liked Greenday, and I'm not the biggest fan of Alt-j!

[BrutalLegend]

Played the year before so I doubt they will be back this year.

[LondonTom]

How do you know the one you like most won't be? Unless you know who the other 2 are?

[Millar95]

there are more than 2 stages.

you're welcome.

[Asdaprice]

The other stages are shit though init

I was mocking others attitudes. I love lock up! FR can have some gems too. And this new dance tent could be a laugh too. I love them all.

[kev1664]

A few bands play back to back years, I think it makes them more likely now their playing Belsonic on the Monday.

[thetime]

If bullet do play(I cant see it myself) the nme headliners could be bulley, alt-j and suede.

pretty good selection in my opinion. theres something new, something older and something heavier. then a biggish dance act headlining the dance tent rather than nme.

[MONTHEBIFF2013]

Billy talent were excellent last year. If they were to play again I'd prefer it if they stayed in the tent, make for a much better atmosphere (and a longer set). Also Bullet in the tent would get very messy!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I don't think Suede would pull a big crowd headlining the NME... they should sub Primal Scream

[Gucci Piggy]

Hmm, I think Jake Bugg subbing the NME on Saturday makes NIN less likely to be that day. Although, I was struggling to think of a heavier band to sub to them, so maybe they had to plump for a more indie act. MBV still possible though I hope.

Anyway. Alt-J opposite Eminem would be awful for me, hopefully the FR would offer a good alternative if that was the case.

[kaosmark2]

primal scream are a damn annoying band, I must of seen them 10-15 times down the years at gigs and festivals. on occasions they have been mind blowing, other times have been awful and another time being full of the wrong attitude.

[dentalplan]

If it's Eminem vs. Alt-J, I hope I'm right with my prediction of Roots Manuva being back for the millionth time headlining 1xtra. Missed him three or four times now.

I'm yet to see them myself but I've heard that from a number of people... I still think suede into Primal Scream would be a strong booking though. I'm not sure Suede would have the pull to headline the nme anymore, but I may be wrong.

[Muppetmark]

alt-J vs eminem would be appalling, hopefully dance, fr or lock up is good that night
