Lineup 2015

[TheSilence]

nah Jamie T will headline NME against Metallica i'm pretty sure of it.

Same

Got high hopes now for the rest of the lineup after a decent announcement.

[Lumz]

Can't imagine many 16/17-22 year olds bothered by Metallica.

22 years old and can't wait for Metallica, one of the bands left to tick off my list!

[atomised]

Refused have confirmed my return too

[Mezhyp1]

Desperately hoping they've pulled The Smashing Pumpkins/ Tool to sub Metallica, that would be absolutely massive

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Mumfords - linkin park - Metallica is a tad too strong sadly

they can pay for that with the money they saved by having only one sub this year, sorted

[dentalplan]

Tool apparently aren't touring this summer but the same geezer said Metallica weren't touring after the end of May so pencil them in.

Well if they can book Refused and The Cure

[JSmurphy]

Me and my mates are all in that age group and Metallica's gone down better than any headliner last year (apart from AM predictably aha).

Refused headlining The Pit confirmed in the PR

EDIT: No mention of Jamie T on NME

Melvin talking shite again when he said a band you wouldn't expect I can't bring myself to watch them again but its been a good day really Courteeners at heaton park will be quality

Same, one of my mates who normally to mainly Dance and Indie Rock said she is really excited

Refused headlining The Pit confirmed in the PR

YES! Gonna be great!

[Tobieski]

If they book the Smashing Pumpkins a day ticket shall be bought.

Refused seem pretty cool too actually. It's just a shame Metallica are headlining

Why has Jamie T gone from NME headline size to sub size purely by being announced?

It's like when Bloc Party went from being sub size to NME headline size purely by not being announced in 2013.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Refused in the Pit? Holy fucking christ

Smashing Pumpkins having started getting a bunch of coverage on XFM, 6 Music, NME etc - could actually see them getting booked somewhere, which I wouldn't have said a couple of years ago. Would be epic.

He didn't say this headliner was the unexpected one.

[kemosabe]

Nobody from my old school who normally camps with us (my year, year above, year below or year below them) is excited about this... jesus looks like Leeds Fest might be off for me

[the wonderwhy]

Refused in the Pit? Holy fucking christ

I'm putting a tenner on them being against Metallica because Melvin hates us

[justanothername]

Refused in the Pit? Holy fucking christ

It is going to be rammed and I wouldn't have it any other way

If no one from my sixth forum wants to go I will actually camp with you...not joking

Macklemore was same we all thought NME sub, Jake Bugg cmon. Jamie T is well big enough and people love the guy on this comeback
