Jesus Christ, your predictions were less depressing when you always included the Manics.

[sjseabass]

Chapel Club broke up.

Cannot see Two Door on the NME stage any more. They could sub main at a push nowadays.

Don't think Bastille will return, ever.

I'd definitely go to that though, probably volunteer rather than pay however.

I think you underestimate how popular they are and how much the organisers will cash in on them.

Could say the same about Ed Sheeran though. He hasn't returned.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Ed Sheeran is a much bigger, and completely different act though?

[sjseabass]

Ed Sheeran is a much bigger, and completely different act though?

He's another act who played a small slot at Reading when he was first breaking, went massive in the run up to the fest / immediately afterwards, has been booked by V instead since, and is hated by the NME (and anyone with any taste).

[dentalplan]

I think it's a reasonable prediction. A couple I'd move about but mostly there.

I agree Bastille probably won't return. They just book some acts early on and then aren't interested in them anymore. Coldplay and Keane being historical examples, and I'd say Sheeran and Mumfords more recently and Bastille could easily go that way.

But Bastille haven't got as 'huge' and aren't hated by NME.

[VCK]

Cheers. I tend to think about realism more when I'm making them, than whether they're depressing or not though.

[dentalplan]

I dunno. I'd say they have bad blood between them.

Well they're only a couple of slots below him at fests now. I could see them playing arenas off the next album. They're as big now as Sheeran was at the equivalent point in his career, for sure.

And they definitely are hated by NME. I guarantee you that.

[mattgimmeshelter]

I dunno. I'd say they have bad blood between them.

fair score for a pretty bad album.

By that argument can we say tom odell will never play r&l again because NME gave him a 0?

[dentalplan]

Nothing to do with NME, but yes we can.

[Babyquack]

Tom Odell played R&L?! I presume FR stage?

[the wonderwhy]

Tom Odell has never played R&L

[sjseabass]

Tom Odell played R&L?! I presume FR stage?

Pretty sure he never has...?

I genuinely went and sat under a tree round the corner on my own and looked at my phone instead of seeing him at BST.

[dentalplan]

Was it V that announced him as Tom O'Dell then? Seems something R+L would do.

[mattgimmeshelter]

wait I thought he played NME?

oh okay then. Sorry.

[mrtourette]

Was it V that announced him as Tom O'Dell then? Seems something R+L would do.

Yeah, same year they advertised 'The Eels'.

[mrtourette]

Cheers. I tend to think about realism more when I'm making them, than whether they're depressing or not though.

I hope that's tongue-in-cheek. You have Royal Blood third on the main stage.

[VCK]

Royal Blood are going to be big.

[dentalplan]

They're playing the saviours of rock slot.

[mrtourette]

Royal Blood are going to be big.

As big as NMH?
