Com Truise Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yeah pretty much, he will put it in when obvious and then claim victory. Then be on post control.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Don't reckon it will be obvious until maybe midweek, if it's obvious before the 4th then I'll be happy it's over with anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 In which case, I couldn't put a pretty much revealed headliner into my prediction so the theory that I will is plain bull. Also, I have until Monday to add, change, whatever I want to do to my prediction. There are no set rules on what you can/can't include in any change, as far as I know?

Com Truise Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Is James Blake big enough to sub NME? I personally love him, but none of my friends for example have even heard of him. And you appear to have missed out Foals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cumberdale Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I always find the NME stage a hard one to guess. You can have huge acts like The Streets subbing and an act like Foster the People who I don't consider that big at all. Not sure how big JB is. He's got a top 10 album and another one on the way with some big names on it. Headline dance perhaps. Either way, you pointing out me missing out Foals has meant that I've dropped JB anyway! Cheers!

the wonderwhy Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Palma Violets definitely won't play that high (thankfully). Foster The People are pretty big, their tours always sell quick & they've sold out Brixton multiple times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Foster the People had pretty big singles, I don't think James Blake has had any? Although they did play A Case of You in Cafe Nero's once I think he is more likely to headline/sub the dance stage on the back of his upcoming though, same position as Grimes maybe?

Hubert Cumberdale Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) To be honest, I've never even heard PV, just thought I'd chuck them in as another generic NME band whose name seems to be everywhere...like foster the people! Thanks for the tips. Edited March 2, 2013 by Hubert Cumberdale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cumberdale Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh don't get me wrong, there's plenty of bands that NME promote that are very talented. I was more commenting about how bands like these seem to be hyped for a year and then forgotton about. How talented those bands are go from awful to awesome - it's NMEs treatment of them that is the similarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Im trying to do my prediction again, and im really struggling trying to fit all the names in, Im looking at past line ups and past the top 3 maybe 4 of main stage and then below headliner on NME it seems its much smaller names on the bill. That and I have absolutely no idea the acts that NME push, Parma Violets, Tribes, Alt J, Jake Bugg etc Ive heard the names but Ive not heard one song by any of them. Oh well.

the wonderwhy Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Tribes & Howler are good, Peace as well. They're the only 'NME Hype' bands I've liked recently, but I don't think they got as much as Palmas/Alt-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
