Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think the set being before a dance act makes it a smaller slot. Bombay were easily NME headline size last year and played before Nero.

[kingcrawler]

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.

[gittinsell]

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?

[#FreeComTruise]

But that looks good, people would probably believe it's real if it got onto Twitter, seeing as it's a photo

Easily, with the amount of people that believed that fake Coachella one

[LondonTom]

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.)

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

My shot at a fake poster.

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

It's happened. Love it.

One lads called it out as fake though because "The View are far bigger than Wolf Alice" of all the things on the poster, that's what makes him think it's fake. Amazing.

Oh I remember them playing Alt J songs just meant I can't recall any of them because they were so dull.

Gazza's around, found him sat on his own in chat for some reason. Said hi and he left.

Prodigy were sub last time they played so it's possible.about 2009 I think.

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.

[DomDom1984]

I actually think that Libertines day is a distinct possibility, from top to bottom on main stage.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think Peace are more likely to move to top 2 NME Stage than just shift up 1 slot on the Main Stage.

[JSmurphy]

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

It's the Bumfords effect.

He's been tempted back by Coldplay.

Haha yeah it is, it's gone mad on there now

[justanothername]

My shot at a fake poster.

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

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.

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

[DomDom1984]

Are Weezer really still too big for a slot like that?

[Hart Attack]

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.

Already doing the rounds on twitter, shame I made a mistake on the dates.

Just went on twitter and first thing I saw was a retweet of your poster. Don't think anyone's even noticed the thing with the dates, I certainly hadn't.
