The suggestion of BMTH subbing should have the piss taken out of it way more though. Comparable to when Matt was afraid YMAS would headline.

Where has people got this idea from? They didn't even sell out Wembley (or if they did, it was at the last second) which was one of 3 shows in the UK.

Compare to a lot of predictions this isn't too bad. I'd be happy with that

[DMCJ2]

Would peace not be more likely to be at V instead this year as they've played two years in a row now?

[VinylDelusion]

Jake Bugg.

Nah not sure V would be too bothered about booking them.

Jake Bugg.

Chances of The War On Drugs making an appearance?

Chances of The War On Drugs making an appearance?

I'm sure this was discussed a few pages ago correct me if I'm wrong, chance because they are touring next summer but questionable where/when they would play at the festival

[mrtourette]

They were in Europe in August last year and didn't turn up on the bill, although maybe FR wanted to keep them for Latitude. It's a possibility, they aren't completely unsuitable.

[Gucci Piggy]

But last year's bookings were made before they had a huge boost in popularity, because of which they're probably now more suitable for R&L.

[BGW]

I'd love to see them on the bill, reckon they're big enough to headline or sub NME?

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah not headline it. Probably sub/third down. They'd be a highlight for sure.

[Mezhyp1]

Hard to understand where exactly some acts are playing there, few outlandish shouts though

[conroy17]

sorry if its hard to read, was going for that concise look

what seems outlandish to you?

[Gucci Piggy]

I'd say DFA1979 would be higher. Probably too big to even headline FR.

War on Drugs and Future Islands probably too big for those slots.

Deadmau5 probably too big for NME but it's hard to judge how popular he currently is tbh.

[the wonderwhy]

Jamie T too high and Royal Blood too low.

[Mezhyp1]

sorry if its hard to read, was going for that concise look

what seems outlandish to you?

More so what Will is saying, few funny platings, Royal Blood will naturally be massively pushed up the line up, DFA and The War on Drugs too low

[Gucci Piggy]

Oh didn't see Royal Blood. Yeah probs 3rd/4th for them.

[conroy17]

regards to Jamie T being so high, jake bugg had the same slot last year and surprised a lot of people

going off the fact that Jamie T was second billed on the first announcement as was bugg last year

and yeah I agree with you on royal blood they'll push them as far up as they can, really can't picture them in third but I suppose if vaccines did it in 2012

[conroy17]

hard to judge for me how big DFA1979 and TWOD especially with a leeds crowd

I know TWOD are playing similar sized venues to what palma violets, band of skulls etc where last year

and both bands are albeit very popular their followings are somewhat cultlike which made me think a headlining slot on FR is more likely than an afternoon slot on NME or main

[BGW]

Great shout with Simon Neil as ZCC, and Mac DeMarco, though both too low for me. Years & Years wouldn't headline 1Xtra I don't think. I think the Deadmau5 slot looks good, but I don't think he'd play NME as well as Knife Party.

Can I ask the reasoning behind all the Linkin Park predictions? Just curious as to where they came from is all.

They're doing a festival in Europe (not sure where, Germany I think) in August so they're around.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah, that and Melvin said one headliner (actually I don't think he specified it was a headliner, but he probably meant a headliner) has had a number one album in the last year, and Linkin Park are one of the few likely candidates that fit that criteria.

Also the new booking guy seems to be a massive melt with a raging hard on for absolutely w*nk used-to-be-relevant rock bands like Blink, Papa Roach and Linkin Park. I'd be predicting Limp Bizkit if it wasn't for them being around early-Summer (actually so are Gaslight, so I may replace them with Limp Bizkit, sounds shit enough to happen).
