Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

They also no longer have reunion hype and recently back etc. And they wouldn't rebook a band on such short notice, particularly one whose heyday was at the beginning of the century. Definitely not as headliner.

[kaosmark2]

You know full well what I was getting at

[Matt42]

Libertines

The Vaccines

Linkin Park

Kendrick Lamar

Mumford & Sons

Alt-J

can't think of NME really

[Andre91]

That is dire. The only one I would make an effort to see is Kendrick, and I'd watch 4 others if there wasn't anything else on, but that would be so poor.

Libertines

The Vaccines

Linkin Park

Kendrick Lamar

Mumford & Sons

Alt-J

isn't really that much weaker than 2014 except the lack of a 'killer' ticket-seller like Arctic Monkeys. stronger subs.

[the wonderwhy]

stronger subs.

Definitely not

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Definitely not

K-Dot > Macklemore. Alt-J > Jake Bugg. The Vaccines ≤ VW unless their third album explodes though I'll give you.

K-Dot > Macklemore. Alt-J > Jake Bugg. The Vaccines ≤ VW unless their third album explodes though I'll give you.

I disagree with all of those.

The Vaccines are borderline headline, Jake Bugg probably shades Alt-J because he's had more chart success and get more airtime, and Kendrick Lemar is NME headline level, nowhere near sub.

[dentalplan]

Kendrick Lemar is NME headline level, nowhere near sub.

I think he could if the album gets enough press, and it likely will.

Besides, everyone seemed sure Macklemore was an NME headliner and nowhere near sub level. There was even that poll.

Well I still think him & Bugg were weak compared to previous years so

[lightning1000]

Last year the subs and 3rd downs were so weak on paper. Yet it sold out, so I guess we can conclude that we all don't know a fucking thing.

[the wonderwhy]

It sold out because The Courteeners were playing so everyone in Manchester bought a ticket and a flare.

That's just it. There's no use getting wound up about where an act is on the lineup because all we're doing here is trying to predict it using logic that doesn't exist, and if an act's higher than we predicted then the festival isn't wrong, we are.

But surely the festival is wrong by booking Blink-182?

Regardless of sales.

Regardless of anything.

It's just wrong.

I don't see the relevance of Liverpool football supporters.

I'm sure you'll explain though.
