Modest Mouse clashing with the start of SOAD would be a fucker though.

[Duw13]

Fall out boy and yeah yeah yeahs swapped positions from last time they both played. I know FOB have the reunion hype but I think a lot are underestimating the yeah yeah yeahs position.

Jake bugg has confirmed to be playing sub under altj.

I think thats a weak set of NME headliners (can see Miles about 3rd on NME for instance), and i reckon we will get a 'heavier' one too...NIN? Placebo? But on the whole, great line up...you can never have too much Modest Mouse.

[PDAD]

I agree, couldn't help alt-j though

Wanted to fit Miles on it somewhere, I think the new album could boost him to headline NME. He's faaaar better than the Maccabees, IMO of course.

NIN and Placebo are the ones I forgot! I knew I was missing something, I'll take out Chase & Status cause I literally just couldn't think of anyone better for that spot

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

The Maccabees are bigger though. They've played Alexandra Palace, and MK isn't even headlining the NME tour.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Yeah I can see where you're both coming from. I'll leave my MK opinions out of the thread so not to disrupt the Kane harmony ; )

[Gucci Piggy]

Surely Vampire Weekend are nailed on for 3rd main or tent headliners, seeing as they're playing the Mumford shows on all dates except the Canadian ones (I think). Probably 3rd main.

[Gucci Piggy]

Nope, they're only playing Lewes.

[the wonderwhy]

Oh right, I knew they were playing that one, and couldn't be bothered to check the rest. Still think they'll play though.

[the wonderwhy]

Latitude is the week before GOTR. Vampire Weekend should surely be in consideration for headlining that? If they did, I reckon they could potentially be sub size...

[kaosmark2]

They're bigger than The Black Keys were this time last year.

[kev1664]

They're one of the options along with Tenacious D, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Deftones, YYYs, Editors, potentially Bloc Party. Something will have to give. IMO I think thirds will be Ten D, FOB and YYYs or Foals

[thetime]

I really dislike them so I thought I'd leave them out

[the wonderwhy]

I think a lot of those will be 4th the way the options are stacking up. I think the D although popular could play almost anywhere on the bill in saying 4th to allow for the other acts around. I think the yeah yeah yeahs will be a sub. FOB 3rd. I think we will get editors 3rd but I'm not quite sure as to who else probably Phoenix.

[kev1664]

We would have said exactly the same about the thirds last year though. The high amount of options for 3rd probably means a lot won't be there, rather than getting pushed down to 4th.

Edited February 27, 2013 by kev1664

[the wonderwhy]

I think the opposite. Last year there wasn't many names kicking about for thirds, people were just putting bands who they hoped would play in this positions that's why most were wrong. This time there is a huge influx of bands playing dates in and around the festival it would be hard to see them not picking those bands up while they are cheap and in Europe.
