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?

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!

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 :P

I think he is more likely to headline/sub the dance stage on the back of his upcoming though, same position as Grimes maybe?

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.

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.

    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
