I definitely agree on Bastille being a better fit for sub than Alt J. I was a fairly regular listener to Radio 1 when both were blowing up and I can't recall a single Alt J song.

Alt-J's new album got a lot of support from Radio 1, all three singles were on the A-list for quite a while.

Hey I don't like either, but I'd put Bastille as the bigger band, I mean Alt-J's second album hasn't even gone gold yet FFS, I fail to see how they're big enough to sub, let alone be 3rd down. Likewise it was ridiculous that they were headlining the NME in 2013

They really ain't and I say say that as someone who hates both bands. (Actually hate is a bit strong for Alt J, i've recently found myself liking Left Hand Free.)

I'd genuinely be happy with that fake poster. do people think Prodigy are a possibility for sub? I had them down as headliner or nothing but their tour is academies so?

it could happen, but with them headlining many festival over the summer I see it very very unlikely.

Very believable that, few things I'd change. Can't see Weezer headlining the NME if they play given the stages focus on younger artists, but it would be excellent if they were there. Can't see London Grammar doing mainstage, likewise Kodaline possibly will but 3 slots higher up I'd say. Can't see DFA playing NME, headlinig FR would be my guess for them if they're there and don't think Hannah Wants will be put on FR (Unless I'm stupid and missed them announcing that on Tuesday). Rest of it is very plausible and of the standard I'd expect this year.

Edit: You should make a very unrealistic one (But with a believable appearance) and try and get Spotted Leeds to convince all his followers it's true

That's actually the sort of thing that would save the weekend for me, good headliners in Weezer and BMTH for the two non-Metallica days PLUS closing sets from dance bands meaning I could probably then go catch the Pit headliners afterwards as well would work very nicely for me.

Some good late afternoon/early evening sets from ATL and PTV, a decent undercard on Saturday main and plenty of potential for the addition of bands I like on the undercard for main, NME/R1, FR and the Pit... there's a lot of pressure on future announcements, but I guess this goes to show that the weekend isn't quite beyond salvaging yet.

That's pretty good but there are gonna be some clashes with the headliners though for me

They'll put whoever they want, there are reason someone can't play the NME is because they're too big

How can people talk about acts they like 'saving the weekend' when there's only been 18 acts announced..

Because I'd been under the impression that too many of the big slots had been filled, leaving little to no room for any significant additions that would be enough to justify going for the full weekend. I was thinking it looked something like this:

Mumford & Sons

Alt-J

Bastille

-

Peace

-

-

-

-----

Metallica

-

Royal Blood

-

-

Deadmau5

Catfish & The Bottlemen

-

-----

The Libertines

-

Jamie T

-

-

Rebel Sound

-

-

...although actually, having written that out it doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought. Yeah, you're right - there's still plenty of potential for this to turn into a great line-up for me. Thanks, I actually feel a lot better now.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
