2013 Lineup

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I've gotta wait to see how much a new wheel bearing is gonna set me back before I buy. Still might just wait til next pay day as I can't see it selling out by then.

[kev1664]

I've bought, and this time round there are an extra 4 who have bought this early. Last year it was the month prior to the fest before anyone else decided to come. Ill be buying early entry next month.

6 must sees on the main, 9 would like to sees and 3 that I wouldn't mind watching with a beer. Not one act I despise.

Shame on the Phoenix clash because they would be a must see but biffy win.

NME 1 must see(although I won't be) 6 would like to sees, 5 would probably catch if nothing better, 5 I have no interest in. 1 I despise.

Also appearing 1 must see, 3 would like to see.

26 acts that I'd like to see.

Been going to Leeds since 08 and have always got my ticket straight after the festival for the next year. This year i wanted to give Glasto a go but didn't manage to get tickets so bought a Leeds ticket instead. Just hope they add a few more decent bands on the NME and plenty on FR. Just keep telling myself it can only get better...

[jonodillieono]

I think i'll be just over £15,000 in debt by the time i graduate in July haha. Complete madness.

[Asdaprice]

More rock orientated acts on the Saturday, any stage, wouldn't go a miss. That's my only slight issue at the moment

[ladbrokeboy]

I think it will. People aren't particularly happy with the NME stage so hopefully the organisers will book some acts that aren't dance.

[Lithium05]

In that case, why not have korn subbing the tent and asap can play on the new stage that's been created for that type of act

Actually I'm predicting korn to sub NME, announced after download

[Chrisl2510]

Definitely would like to see savages, fidlar, drenge, hurts, the knife, chvrches all added. Also would expect miles, tribes, django django etc to be announced as well.

Oh and throw in a bloc party secret set in somewhere...

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Korn?

*shivers*

[Asdaprice]

Regarding lumineers, had a listen to their album on the way to work this morning and I actually prefer it to Mumford and sons, their other tracks are much better then hey oh in my opinion and baring in mind the folk scene seems to be commercial at the moment, I think there spot is justified fine

[Asdaprice]

True. I am just so impressed on reflection. Seems to be the 1st year in a long while they have got the right amount of everything spot on. The lack of soni seems to have been good for getting a few more heavier bands, and the dance scene is massive at the moment, so fair play to that. A few more chilled sets in various spots like lumineers and frank turner in the afternoon, seems great.

I guess there is a lack of "indie" but that scene does seem to be dying unless you have become 1 of the headlining like giants

[thelionsmouth]

No way should Lumineers be above Editors.. Don't know why Editors allowed/accepted that.

Don't know why Skrillex are headlining NME when there's a dance tent, and I have no idea why Azealia Banks and ASAP are on the NME when there is a 1xtra stage for exactly those sort of acts..

Do people really think things are going to be moved around?

Also when is the next announcement?

[rawaudioinput]

I'm thinking of organising a football match in the empty 1Xtra tent whilst Devlin is up against Eminem; anyone up for?

[Buko]

They certainly put a lot of my friends off with the lack of indie bands, the type's that were expecting Vampire Weekend, Bloc Party, Miles Kane etc. I imagine the FR tent will have a lot of indie landfill to keep them happy.

[thewayiam]

i could see dizzee doing a secret Nme set but apart from that, won't be there

[Weloveyouneil]

A day to rememeber to play earlyish on the freak day?

[joe1990]

I expect at least two more acts on main each day.

[Shootenanny!]

I actually have The Lumineers' album and its good. Ho Hey is one of the weaker songs on it but just happens to be the most commerical sounding.

Whilst Editors are much better than them I had a look at The Lumineers' tour sales and they seem to sell out Academies easily across the UK so there seems to be a high demand for them. Considering its likely V would have wanted them too that might explain why they're so high up the line up.

[Weloveyouneil]

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.
