Lineup 2014

[Com Truise]

I don't think we're expecting Pearl Jam, I think that's a bit of hopeful thinking on some of our parts. Fully expecting Arctics and QOTSA though.

[justanothername]

So are people expecting it to be Arctics, Pearl Jam, Paramore/The Killers then?

Didn't know we were expecting Pearl Jam at all. Read it once or twice and that is about it

[dentalplan]

The only expectations are QOTSA either subbing or heading and Arctics headlining.

[Com Truise]

After the YMAS post from earlier, I think we can expect them to play third. And also expect Shikari NOT to be there. As Enter Shikari, at least;

[dentalplan]

Oh yeah. You can consult the 'ruled out' thread for who's not there once you've waded through all the comedy.

[Hawky]

ADTR are due an appearance.

[Com Truise]

hopefully common courtesy is good, I'd like to see them at R&L

[ToffeePopcorn]

What is the likeliness of mumfords? Or are we all pretending that's not an option, much like paramore...

probably as likely as Paramore, The Killers, KOL etc. I don't think it's a bad option as I quite like their debut, and they look good live

[Matt42]

Mumford were amazing at glasto, everyone in that field loved it... Just no one wants to admit it on the only place they are disliked "efest forums"

[Dead throne]

ADTR are due an appearance.

Yes.

[kev1664]

I expect one of or both of Rise Against and Billy Talent to show up again too.

NME top 3 of

Rise Against

Billy Talent

Skindred

Would be ace if the majority of the main stage is going to be less heavy....

[dentalplan]

Rise Against could actually get the demand to headline NME, but if its anything like this year then they'll be part of a heavier main.

I'm not sure there are enough heavier/rock type potential headliners about that seem realistic at present.

QOTSA, the prodigy, Pearl Jam, dare I say Paramore even though it would be a vast disappointment.

Then the less likely Metallica, Rage against the machine, slipknot who like system may not be a headliner

Then probably the non contenders ac/dc, iron Maiden, black Sabbath, blink 182, mcr.

Copmare that to the likely other headliners Mudford & sons, Arctic monkeys, Kings of Leon, The Killers, Arcade Fire.

Then the potential step ups of Florence and the machine, the black Keys, Elbow.

All of the above waffle leads me to believe that the main stage will be less rock orientated.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Why've we all stopped talking Arcade Fire? ):

Still on my AF/AM/QOTSA bet. I want paramore to headline though, so what do I know

I don't want to go to leeds next year but if those three are headliners I would have to go. However, it's far too good to be true. Probably end up with only QOTSA with v snapping arctics up and AF either doing glasto or nothing

[Yellow_Fellow]

Well the number 1 Arcade Fire fan site has heard they are so that's my evidence

Ha don't know why we're even debating it, it's concrete

[dentalplan]

Did they say it before or after Strictly?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Before, apparently that was our "source".

[the wonderwhy]

Arcade Fire

Jack White

Babyshambles

Gaslight Anthem

Pearl Jam

Slipknot

You Me At Six

Rise Against

Arctic Monkeys

QOTSA

Two Door Cinema Club

The Courteeners

would probably work, although I want QOTSA to headline so I hope it doesn't

The Courteeners are hard to place because they're adored up north, but down south nobody gives a shit

Ah alright. I thought Pearl Jam were included though. Love both bands but I'd much rather Pearl Jam did their own dates if it opened the slot up for QOTSA to headline. Third time subbing is too much, and beneath Arctic Monkeys would be a trainwreck.

They were but personally I don't believe PJ will be here.

Generous there Matt. The Courteeners were 3rd in NME last year so 4th is a pretty steep climb for a band on the down. Babyshambles too, barely anyone has noticed their album being released and 3rd is an improvement of their peak.

Also, Two Door won't be at next years.

They played third in the tent last year when the situation was the same so fourth on main is probably a bit much.
