Lineup 2015

[Rose-Colored Boy]

just had a thought which is pretty grim.... 2 of the 3 headlining bands only have 2 albums each

M&S will have a new record out or at least announced by then surely, Libs said something about new music being on the way too

[Gucci Piggy]

WTF is Rebel Sound?

I was gonna say this haha. Then realised it's the Chase and Status thing. Kept seeing people talking about C&S and wondered what was going on.

[Muppetmark]

I'm going, got my ticket last night. Always have a great time regardless of main stage headliners.

Also, someone else mentioned it earlier but has Jamie T actually been confirmed for Main Stage/third down? I would have figured he'd headline NME one day.

jamie t isnt going to healdine nme vs libs though.

[gittinsell]

was on my birthday last year, the Monday of the same week this year would make it March 9th.

Nice one cheers

[nickybu]

Really hope they announce some awesome fucking bands on 9th March since I'm really not sure after tonight

[the wonderwhy]

Anyone know what other festivals are on the same weekend? Creamfields and anything else?

Rock En Seine, France

[Muppetmark]

Mumfords
two door
bastille

Deadmau5

Metallica
fall out boy
royal blood

rebel sound

Libertines
Vaccines
Jamie T

knife party

[Matt42]

Rock En Seine, France

Reckon the headliners for that will be Libs, Deadmau5 and Mumford

[justanothername]

Days would need to shuffle about as the French Dog Blues post said Libs Leeds Fri/Reading Sun (same with Jamie T's dates) but I'd go with that prediction too. In fact put Knife Party, Deadmau5 and Rebel Sound against the headliners whichever way as well and I reckon it'd be quite strong sales-wise. Awful in every other aspect.

Are they gonna put all 3 NME headliners as Dance acts though?

just had a thought which is pretty grim.... 2 of the 3 headlining bands only have 2 albums each

And that matters because....anyway by August they should both have 3 albums out anyway

[kemosabe]

If Bastille and Royal Blood can play third down surely the real Chase and Status are now headline size especially if a derivative of them can headline the NME stage?

[Hart Attack]

So much pressure on the main stage undercard and the Pit now.

I suddenly really miss Sonisphere. Usually it's absence means a stronger Reading line-up, I have no idea what the fuck has happened this time.

[justanothername]

Why couldn't have QOTSA headlined last year and Paramore this year? Would have been way better

[KyHunt]

jamie t isnt going to healdine nme vs libs though.

But it looks like Jamie T is confirmed as a Sunday act and I thought Metallica were headlining the Sunday? Might have plucked that idea out of the air though...?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

If you're talking about Reading, Metallica are headlining the Saturday

[dentalplan]

Wouldn't put it past them at all. Two last year and I think they've done three in previous years. They're obvious a really popular alternative, especially with the drunk/high crowd I guess.

metallica are saturday.

What? Bastille and Royal Blood are easily 3rd down sized. Why do these slots mean anything regarding headliners?

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah 2010 was LCD Soundsystem, Klaxons and Pendulum.

RS aren't a derivative of C&S.

[Gucci Piggy]

Also, from Lucky's "If Mumfords' sub is who I've been told then fucking hell" or whatever it was, I just assumed he meant they were shit, not that it was weird.

[Matt42]

So realistically we've got this then...

Mumford & Sons

Alt J

Bastille

Metallica

???

Royal Blood

The Libertines

The Vaccines

Jamie T

wow will fire up that final sub thread.

[Millar95]

Would be very poor if they have 3 Dance acts headlining the NME stage, especially considering they now have a stage specifically for dance acts.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah same. Although it could also mean someone who is going to be returning after a break without announcing it so far so lucky wasn't expecting them, in which case I'd guess TDCC.

[justanothername]

RS aren't a derivative of C&S.

so.....(d/dx)(C&S) =/= RS

Rock En Seine, France

When do ReS usually announce? Is it the same week as R&L's main announcement?
