Predictions for Monday announcement

[thetime]

I thought that straight afterwards! I think they would be a great sub/3rd down on the main.

[SOAD]

I'm torn over Foals they seem so perfect for nme headliner but I really think it's time they get a decent slot on main... plus if Inahler is anything to go by this is the sort of album that suits a stage like that

[Tobieski]

Don't think it will be Foals, not announced anything for the summer yet and I'd be surprised if they announce them playing before Holy Fire is released.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Biffy Clyro, Bring Me The Horizon, Django Django, Peace, Editors, Wu Tang Clan, Miles Kane, Dropkick Murpheys.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Nope, not the way I read it at least.

[the wonderwhy]

The record is out the week after next. Perfect way to build hype.

Also, aren't Wu Tang a Bestival exclusive?

[thetime]

I think The Roots, MIA and The Flaming Lips are UK exclusives and Bombay, The Knife and Franz Ferdinand are English exclusives.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Yeah Roots and MIA are some serious losses.

[DL50]

I don't think they're gonna announce as many bands as people seem to think

I think it will be:

Biffy as Headliners

Foals or Bring Me The Horizon

Maybe a couple of new bans like Palma Violets, Peace or Haim

Then maybe someone like Miles Kane, Django Django or The Joy Formidable

[thetime]

Will tickets go back on sale on monday? The presale finishes tonight and it would be a bit daft announcing bands when tickets are not on sale.

[thetime]

I think they're extending the pre-sale, if I remember correctly.

[Matt42]

Biffy as second headliner.

Bring Me The Horizon as R1 headliner.

A couple of mainstage acts (Foals, Django Django, Palma Violets) all Nme acts being bumped up to mainstage (as tradition), a heavier metalish act to be like "LEZ THROW IN SOME METAL TO KEEP THE METAL KIDS QUIET". Then, one extremely popular mainstream act to keep the eminem fans quiet.

There, pretty much summed up monday for you all.

Miles Kane

[pompeybrum44]

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but the picture reading posted says '+ more bands' not more artists. so does that mean it will only be bands announced?

[the wonderwhy]

Did Example rule himself out?

If not, I'd stick a tenner on him getting announced Monday

Hoping for Biffy, Foals, Phoenix and Editors amongst others. Wu-Tang would be awesome

I can't see all that being announced on Monday.

Assuming at some point that they'll stop selling at 2012 prices and start at 2013 prices they'll want a lot to announce when they make that switch.
