Foals 5th & below Phoenix. Controversial.

[dentalplan]

They've apparently came around to festivas now though. It's only a bit of fun at the end of the day really. TBH we are all only saying Green Day, because of a comment said by someone on here. They still have a massive London Date

I bet Neil knows and he was waiting for this to finish. Headliner to be leaked tomorrow!

[Gucci Piggy]

How close to the announcement were The Cure revealed by Neil last year?

Cheers guys. It'd have been interesting if there'd been no early announcements, we might not even have a clue about Eminem by now.

[the wonderwhy]

Foals plummeted in the last week from 3rd to 5th haha. I just think Phoenix are similar to the Black Keys last year, pretty much nowhere one year, then headlining US fests, plus they've already played NME sub so they are only really moving up 1/2 spots from when they last played.

Yup, I moved Foals down in mine too to accommodate people. I just think they're the indie band at the minute, like The Vaccines last year.

[dentalplan]

Yep so do I. Predictions are nearly always better than waht we get, and there are normaly a few surprises, best to play it safe in these games though really.

I'm hoping come next week we will have heard Buddy Holly on Zane Lowe confirming Weezer.

He's not telling us because it's One Direction

Meh... First time I've checked forum since yesterday.

We'd have read them on the website a while beforehand.

[eFestivals]

To be fair we'd mentioned the possibility of Eminem a few times before the announcement, just nobody continued the discussion out of either not ever thinking/wanting him to be booked. I think we'd have had him in contention.

there were just two off-the-cuff mentions of Eminem before he was announced - nothing that anyone took any notice of, not even the people who posted the names. They just threw some random names out there.

Don't worry about it, jump said about the rock en heim, they are below SOAD, I'd forgot that, why would R&L book them a different way.

[thewayiam]

R&L have already booked them a different way as System aren't headlining but more to the point was I said I can't see NIN being the 3rd headliner based on what System said as they are already playing with NIN so why would they go out of their way to play with them again?

[jump]

no different way to what they've booked them before. They are no more relevant now at reading than they were years age.

I've put nin heading Nme tent for a couple of reasons
