Lineup 2015

[Mezhyp1]

I can 100% recommend anyone who isn't going to glastonbury to go to RW, been the last 3 years and it's absolutely marvellous, all about the music

[mrtourette]

Christ I can't believe we have the same conversation about RW every year. It's nearly as tiresome as the "what do you mean you can't drink at the stages at Coachella?" one.

It's almost as if comparing different festivals in different countries with different markets and different restrictions is a waste of time.

Well alt-j aren't meant for arenas. Completely lost in a big venue.

[Bisque]

Me and Will are LADIES and that chat up line does indeed work

[dentalplan]

Anyone know any good new bands that are likely to come through and pop up on FR or NME? We don't have a thread for that this year and too late to start one so somebody tell me.

No Bearfur please.

[Gucci Piggy]

Royal Blood

No Bearfur please.

Ever heard of this band called of Linkin Park?

[justanothername]

But more on the serious side I'd say Creeper and (I hope) Viet Cong. I'd say Slaves but I think a lot of people already know about them

[the wonderwhy]

Hinds will probably end up high FR/low NME

Twin Peaks seem quite cool, from what I've heard.

I can't be as out of touch as I thought I was as I've heard of all of these bar Creeper, who aren't really my thing I guess. The others are all pretty good but I think Viet Cong might be too cool for R+L.

Are there none that are gonna hit it really big and pack the FR stage out?

Edited January 25, 2015 by dentalplan

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I haven't particularly kept up recently. NME don't seem to be massively hyping anyone new at the moment.

I hope Misty Miller gets on to the NME this year.

[bradeck123]

Where do you think Jamie T will be put? NME headliner? Top half of the main stage???

[Gucci Piggy]

NME headliner or third down on the Main Stage, depending on who's headlining the Main Stage on the Sunday.

If it's The Libertines or Mumford and Sons (which it sounds like it probably will be), then I'd guess third on Main. Especially if it's The Libertines.

[bradeck123]

Hope he doesn't clash with The Libs!! (If they are there, of course.)

[conroy17]

I'd expect to see most of these on FR

Blossoms, Prides, Twin Peaks, Gengahr, Superfood, Girlpool, Joanna Gruesome, Honeyblood, Traams

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah there's no chance he'll clash with them. If they're headlining his day, he'll definitely be Main Stage.

[rawaudioinput]

Milk Teeth will probably be on The Pit/FR, was meant to see them tonight but decided Netflix and ice cream was a better plan

Apparently it was a struggle booking the FR stage last year, I can't see it being much different for 2015

[Matt42]

Can't see them putting Jamie T against mumfords either, if he's on the sunday I reckon he'l be on main.

[conroy17]

Jamie T's definitely playing a different day to metallica and I don't think he'd clash with mumfords or libs

also think R&L would've said if he were headlining NME like they have done with regards to refused headlining the pit

main stage slot for him seems obvious but you never know

should be 3rd but I can imagine melvin over-reading the hype and putting him as a sub or summat

[dentalplan]

Were Disclosure announced as NME headliners early on or did everyone just correctly assume so?

[justanothername]

Yes on Traams

They were announced as NME headliners. I'm trying to think if Courteeners were though

Edited January 25, 2015 by justanothername

[Matt42]

Putting Jamie T up against Libs or Mumford would be like putting the vaccines up against arctic monkeys...

[the wonderwhy]

The Courteeners weren't.
