Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a while and posted a fair bit to the ORF forums before that was absolutely destroyed by spam. Anyway, as far as suggestions go, would Brand New headlining the NME stage on one of the days be completely out of the question? I know they were booked 5th down on main before they pulled out in 2013, but with a new album this year I feel like they'd probably be able to. Can someone tell me I'm not crazy?

They're probably nowhere big enough for NME headline, maybe the Pit/Rock stage whatever it is. Or booked again on main stage.

I'd probably say they're too big for the pit then which rules them out of a dark slot. Shame really, they're great with the right atmosphere. Seems like we're all fairly sold on Royal Blood playing pretty high up though.

Well JEW headlined lock up, and Of Mice & Men the pit I reckon they're about the same level. Though their tour this year sold really quickly. I can't really gauge how big they are because I don't see much talk about them anywhere.

I'm a big fan of Brand New as well, but they were pretty disappointing in Manchester this year, despite opening with a NIN cover

They're a difficult one to place, but with the Lock Up/The Pit headliners this year I'd say that is probably right.

Considering Of Mice & Men are only just getting big enough to play the Bristol o2 (my local) and Brand New sold out Southampton Guildhall in April I'd say they're probably a bit bigger. I dunno, the JEW type set would be amazing as far as I'm concerned though.

I bet this new guy is actually dentalplan pulling a Gazza now he can't come back after his Greg Davies cock up.

Oh sadly not, Greg Davies being my uncle would be great.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Royal Blood supporting Foo Fighters on all their US dates? Meaning they won't be at R+L next year

R+L is 28th to 30th August next year so Royal Blood could be back in the UK in time for that :)

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
