the hives ?

[guitarbhoy1888]

i absolutely love them although I've just lately got into them .....

any chance of them, dunno how big they are over here so dunno how they would need to be placed :/

[jazz565]

They are brilliant but I don't know if they would, I expect they'd be higher then what's left now.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

They bored me last year at Wireless if I'm honest, though I'm not their biggest fan anyway. I'd hazard a guess that if they played it'd probably be about 3rd from the top on the NME.

[Vieuphoria]

They looked fantastic at Coachella and have got some massive songs. I'd love for them to be there, but doubt they will

[kevinboyle82]

I'd love to see them, excellent festival band.

[Luke Routledge]

would be awesome in the NME tent but I cant see it happening.

[Dan R]

Good call on these. Surprised how low down they are though, 7th down NME stage! Just made my Friday a lot more interesting

[Vieuphoria]

whatnow? stop messin' homes!

[Martino231]

Awesome booking. Didn't expect it at all. Disappointed they're so far down so they won't get much of a set but as long as we get to see the classics, I'll be happy.

more actually .... their greatest hits is only 28 minutes long .... i reckon they'll get around 45

[Dan R]

playing that low down they'll probably get 25-40 minutes unless they've been booked to play a longer set, but that would of probably been announced, won't have a chance of playing 13/14 songs, as speaking? might come on late? etc

[kevinboyle82]

Quality signing

Like he said, the 12-song long greatest hits is 28 minutes, so with 40 minutes then its more than possible that they could play 13/14 songs, though i'd expect them to do fewer songs and get a bit of crowd interaction in there. Maybe the reason they've been booked so low down is because they could do a short hit-packed set, rather than a long one which will lose peoples interest?

This ain't Football Manager.

[Gingo]

They should have Festival Manager, that'd be fucking awesome! Get a budget, can choose to be any festival you want, If you're Glastonbury you have the budget like Man City in Football Manager and if you take like Blissfields you are like Crystal Palace. I would buy that without a doubt.

[RichieParf]

Pretty sure Neil would kick all our asses at that game.

[Vacant0]

Surely glasto would have a much smaller budget than any of the other major fests?

Don't they pay far, far less?

Problem is you'd have a whole year of doing nothing before your fest starts :/

[jazz565]

No thats the joy you would have to work hard at convincing bands to play your festival and finding the right bands to play while also dealing with bands pulling out demanding certain things for their trailers and stuff like this.

Being a about-to-be-qualified games designer (or so my degree will hopefully say ) i'm definitely going to pitch this idea for me and my friends to try and make

[sjseabass]

Glastonbury would have a huge budget - they have 150,000 people paying £200 a pop, after all. It's just that there's so very very very much on that it's spread a lot more thinly than any other festival.

Also, I want Festival Manager really badly. Do it do it do it!
