You can edit/post today and tomorrow, it's 12am on the 5th a solid week before the announcement.

[thewayiam]

You also have too many acts on Saturday main stage and not enough on Sunday NME, if you hadn't realised.

Also I'd like to know if it's midnight tonight that this closes, anyone?

[thewayiam]

And there are no points for saying who's on the dance stage.

12am on the 4th, would surely mean 12am tonight?

[Com Truise]

I've revised my guess... due to something somebody you may class as "in the know" said to me recently & for lack of evidence for any other band that fit the description given by SOAD of the headliner above them I've gone with NIN.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

So you have info that suggests NIN is the last headliner?

We've got someone saying they're subbing Biffy, and another saying they're headlining NME?

At this rate they probably won't even be playing

[Com Truise]

You never can be too sure when you hear things through the grape vine.

We shall see, time will tell.

[Com Truise]

they'd certainly be an act that know one expected as a headliner, albeit, a very risky one.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Weren't The Cure exactly the same though? I guess we only have a weekish to wait now

[PDAD]

I'd be shocked if NIN were headlining! Wouldn't complain at all: SOAD into NIN is the stuff of dreams but especially after the alleged small crowds in 07, i can't see it. But yes, time will tell...

[the wonderwhy]

I don't think there was ever any debate about The Cure being a headline sized act though...

Actually Neil said in a conversation on here with me around this time last year that he thought the Cure were much more suited to headline a festival the size of Latitude rather than R&L.

As I said, that is my prediction based on what I believe at the moment. It may be right, it may turn out not to be.

Small crowds maybe, but everyone I've seen comment on it, who saw it, said it was one of the best performances ever. And if they went up against a shit NME headliner, probably Alt-J, I'd imagine they would get a much bigger crowd.

I think one of The Cure's problems was going up against a very strong top 3 NME in Courteeners > Foster the People > Maccabees, that tent was packed all night as far as I can remember

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Isn't that the same with everybody's prediction?

Edited March 3, 2013 by Frankly Mr Shankly

[Com Truise]

Alt-J would probably get a bigger crowd, unfortunately

[Com Truise]

Perhaps. I just think that besides a select few (notably on this forum) who would love to see NIN headline, the majority of R+,L goers would be very underwhelmed by NIN being announced as headliners, when theyre hoping for Green Day or something like that. I don't actually think half the R+L demographic would have even heard a NIN song to be honest. i can still even see Alt J getting a bigger crowd as well.

[the wonderwhy]

I really can't comprehend that madness, I love Alt-J but why, people have very narrow minded music tastes these days I guess

It's cool to like Alt-J. Its not cool to like NIN.
