Lineup 2014

[dentalplan]

Have you guys thought that, if these four are the actualy headliners, this is the earliest in a year that the headliners have ever been known? By some distance too.

Does that make anyone sceptical? I sort of am.

New Childish Gambino. Wanted him to play since before Camp and I think he's a serious contender for a good NME slot.

I am skeptical but, it's probably the poorest set we could get (I'd still enjoy it), so we should just go with it, then if it turns out we do get Sabbath or someone like that, it will be amazing. Right?

Kinda. But if they did booked some really good headliners, I'm sure that they did not announce Blink-182 as the 'first' headliner. They could have announced much more decent acts other than Blink-182. If they did booked decent acts and you're right (I hope you're right), they should have kept Blink-182 until the last announcement.

Chance should have brought him on </3

Chance features on the new Gambino, so even more reason for him to play!

Maybe. Wouldn't that be boring though? I dunno though it just doesn't seem right.

There's a lot of other elements that factor into who is announced when though. They don't get pick of the lot.

Also just noticed NMH are still in Europe in August at an FR event. Go nuts!

why did chase and status play this year I really like their new album, would of preferred if they gave reading a miss this year (did V) and played in 2014...

NMH would go down like a sack of shit at Reading and Leeds. totally wasted

[justanothername]

But you already know the other headliners...

I'm not expecting anything else good to come from any of this.

I refuse to except them!!

We also may got some good acts underneath and NME headliners as well so there is some hope

They're a lot more popular than people give them credit for. Every tumblr hipster adores ITAOTS. People who I am pretty sure hit V last year were Facebook statusing about missing out on 2014 NMH tix. They'd go down really well, I think.

If NMH are at Leeds I'll mebbe go.

hmm i think that's a small minority though. if bands like Faith No More and At The Drive-In can't pull decent crowds at R/L's then i don't see what chance NMH have (okay, those two bands were up against big headliners, but surely NMH would be headlining a stage / placed fairly high. can't exactly stick 'em on Main Stage at 4pm)

Yeah it's odd, and the announcements will be incredibly boring if it is AM and Queens+Paramore. I'm hoping we'll get a couple of shocks a la NIN and SOAD though, that'd be nice

Pendulum's sub announcement will be a bit of a shock.

I honestly think that NMH are more popular in 2013 than ATDI and FNM were in 2012 & 2009 respectively. In the mainstream eye. As well as the Reading Festival eye.

I'm really confused. The last page I read was 1010 so now I'm really confused. Even more that what usually goes on in here

The thread has gone down hill ever since we stopped talking about coffee shops.

Shall we discuss the NME Top 50 albums and tracks, and then post our alternative lists, for the benefit of mrtourette?

I remember this thread back then. It was a much simpler time and it was fun. Then Blink came and fucked it all up!

[Andre91]

I was pretty shocked to see The 1975 weren't in either list. I thought the NME were hot on them? Or are they one of those bands they have now turned on?

[Gucci Piggy]

Blink should have won album of the year.

I don't NME have ever really bothered with them that much.

[justanothername]

Let me guess Arctics had all the top spots. Even their future albums?
