2013 Lineup

[joshi]

Hoping All The Young, Dinosaur Pile Up, Killswitch Engage, Sum 41 and Patent Pending all get FR slots, maybe even low-NME.

[thelionsmouth]

The Vaccines' first album is really good, second one's not bad although certainly not up to the same standard.

Palma Violets sound like The Vaccines without the songs. Their first single was pretty good but everything else I've heard just sounds bland.

Alt-J's album is decent but not nearly enough to justify all the hype.

Still think its extreme that people hate any of them so much though. As has been pointed out, they've just been lucky enough to ride on hype and press coverage which any band would be happy to receive.

[Hart Attack]

On Killswitch Engage they could always do main... they are about as big (maybe slightly more popular and reunion with original vocalist has to provide interest) as when they played last time and were about second on main then. Think maybe a slight push up and we could have a Friday like:

Green Day

System of a Down

Deftones

Frank Turner

Bring Me The Horizon

New Found Glory

Killswitch Engage

Tomahawk

While She Sleeps

Looks a good main to me. Nice mix of sounds while still giving a fairly traditional heavy day for main.

I reckon NFG could go one lower than that... they were only seventh in 2011, and haven't exactly gotten bigger since then. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd have thought KSE would be above them anyway. Maybe also have Tomahawk headline FR and have The Blackout in their place on main?

Looks like a good guess though, I'd be very happy with the Friday ending up like that.

Reckon The Blackout are gonna do main but was going to have them and Mallory Knox in opening two slots on Sunday... Reckon Tomahawk headlining FR against Eminem would be good. Maybe Alkaline Trio in that spot on Friday instead? Then they can do a double slot on main and lockup.

Ps reckon only reason NFG could end up higher than last time is playing the album in full thing... makes it a bit more of a special set.

[SOAD]

I could see double duty for NFG, full album on main then hits set in the lock up, or vice versa.

[Kabis_5]

am i right in saying that we can discount all of the previous second/third down rumours? such as dizzee and the xx because dizzee is still shown as a strong rumour?

[SOAD]

Would love this, has any band ever done it before?

[SOAD]

Tomahawk are playing the Friday I think.

Maybe Dizzee is doing something with Eminem? Could come on as a guest...

[lightning1000]

Sounds good although would guess maybe third from top Lockup like Frank did. Similar position on main to him (well same if they drop a slot) and that way they will clash with SOAD rather than Green Day (really dont see them clashing with Green Day). Well if they drop a slot can see Billy Talent going above on main. So maybe:

Green Day

System of a Down

Deftones

Frank Turner

Bring Me The Horizon

Billy Talent

New Found Glory

Killswitch Engage

While She Sleeps

Would be ridiculously good for me... def wouldnt leave main from Billy Talent onwards and would consider checking out everyone below.

Frank's was a secret set when he played 3rd.

Nfg would headline lock up if doing double duty, unless it was another secret set/special guests.

Also, now lock up is 3 days, one of the lock up type bands is going to have to clash with green day so that line of thinking is no longer valid like it was in past years

[VCK]

So since the announcement we have learnt everyone massively loves Editors & nobody likes Alt J.

[Chinaski_]

Loads of different Lockup bands who would be more appropriate against Green Day. NFG are possibly one of the worst choices to clash with them for a lot of people and don't think they need to headline Lockup if they have a decent mainstage slot. Last time they played Lockup it was solely the Lockup. Plus we seem to get special guests/secret slots on Lockup quite alot.

[Zzzonked]

Watching videos of chase and status live and that MC they use really pisses me off

[dentalplan]

Surprising, I didn't think that anyone cares about Editors as it isn't 2007 any more.

[insideaway]

You're in Editors territory here. Some on this thread were saying they could sub this year.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

They should of headlined nme

[Dead throne]

They should of headlined nme

[lightning1000]

They should have.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Grammar arseholes

[guitarbhoy1888]
