Lineup 2016

[#FreeComTruise]

I think Twin Atlantic could make third if they are depending if they have a new album our before / just after the fest. Probably be 4th max though.

They're very high at T, but that's obviously majorly down to being Scottish. But it did make me wonder if they could be the next band pushed up lineups, like BMTH.

I'd be happy if they were, but I don't think the majority of people here would be

[kaosmark2]

We're all at least on the same page regarding sour cream and onion though, right?

Nah, we're spread over 3 pages on it.

[kingcrawler]

I don't think Twin Atlantic 3rd down is that outlandish. I reckon they'd be 4th/5th just now, so with a new album they potentially could get a push up the lineup.

Even with them being Scottish, they've never taken particularly high spots on the lineup until this year. The last few years they've either been low-mid main or subbed king tuts tent.

Deaf Havana on 3rd is particularly outrageous though, I love deaf Havana and they're one of my favourite bands and its annoying how they don't get what they deserve with how hard they all work but yeah they'd deffo not be 3rd

Great Divide was a massive popularity boost though, plus they've got the Hydro date up there. It was a pretty big shock to see them headlining R1 still to be fair, I can definitely see them being pushed up the R&L lineup next time they play.

Yeah that's true, their Hydro gig seems to be selling quite well as well. I dunno about it being a big shock though, I was expecting them to be 3rd down so not a massive jump to headlining Radio 1.

[DGrant261]

Jesus that's the worst prediction ever.

ADTR will probs not be touring for next years festival season (atleast I wouldn't have thought)

Deaf Havana and Twin Atlantic as 3rd, you must be joking

Imagine Dragons as a headliner (maybe at V, definitely not at Leeds.. Yet.)

1. I've put 2/3 better/more thought through guess on here in the month since then

2. If ADTR are touring I really don't feel putting them 3rd would be that outlandish given where BMTH are this year (As much as I'd hate it)

3. Same goes for Twin Atlantic

4. Deaf Havana you're probably right about. They'll probably stall about 4/5th on the bill where they're at now

5. If the new album would've matched the last I'd stand by that, but I've changed my mind into thinking they're sub level for next year. I think they're a much better fit for R&L than V tbh, but thats not to say they won't show up at both next summer. They have a very big young fanbase that not many bands do and festival organisers will recognise that

The Strokes/The 1975 would probably be the weakest top 2 in festival history.

I'd probably agree, but my 4 months on efests has taught me not to be optimistic about this things. Given we're in 2015 it's probably right to expect a continued fall in standards.

I don't think Twin Atlantic 3rd down is that outlandish. I reckon they'd be 4th/5th just now, so with a new album they potentially could get a push up the lineup.

They packed out the tent at Leeds last year so I feel a boost up to 3rd seems about right

I was walking in to see Temples and I heard a Scotsman walking out from TA saying "Proof all the best bands ever are Scots" *sigh*

Quick question:

*co headline claxon* Would it be absurd to suggest Foals/You Me At Six do it next year?

[mrtourette]

Unfortunately not, along with BMTH they seem to be the most likely bands to move up to that position if they can churn out a commercially successful record.

[DomDom1984]

I can't see You Me at Six doing it next year. Maybe the year after if they bring out an even bigger album, but until then, I just don't see it.

Foals is strictly a maybe in my eyes. They really do need a big album before they're even announced though. They just don't have the power at the moment.

2, ADTR are touring I really don't feel putting them 3rd would be that outlandish given where BMTH are this year (As much as I'd hate it)

Why is it outlandish? ADTR playing 3rd is reasonable for next year given that they're touring then which I think they will be

[Hawky]

the crowd for twin Atlantic wasn't that big at Leeds Last year.

Plus, ADTR will play third down next year, if they're around.

Toured CC to death, they'll go away and write a new album probably missing out uk festival season next year, I think if anything they might headline Slam Dunk or something. I want them to sign to a major label so they can get bigger which I don't think they will do until they sign to a major

[oneoftherest]

I just don't think they'll play til they have a new record but I expect them to be third or sub (dependent on how the album goes) in 2017

[oneoftherest]

Also I just don't see Twin Atlantic being the same size as Shikari, You Me At Six, Royal Blood, Bastille size by next year

They're writing it now and it will probably be of early next year so they'll be touring with that and they don't need a major label anymore, they're doing fine without one and what happened at Victory has probably put them off signing any more deals. Also I don't think they'll headline Slam Dunk or have the desire to as they have very little history with the festival (not too sure that they have even played it) and if they're doing early European festivals this year chances are they'll want to do late ones next year.

[oneoftherest]

Maybe, I guess it all depends on if they want any time away before the record and Slam Dunk is getting bigger each year and idk whether headlining a festival here would be an attraction to them but I certainly know Ben Ray would look into it as I know he's wanting the fest to get bigger each year

[jump]

Slam Dunk is growing but it will always be limited in the size it can grow to due it being a niche festival.

[Andre91]

ADTR will be doing full arena tours on their next album, they will be too big for Slam Dunk.

[oneoftherest]

Too big for Slammy? YMAS headlining this year

[oneoftherest]

And I think they'll have to coheadline arenas, possibly with BMTH or Shikari

[Andre91]

You Me At Six have a history with the festival, and with it being it's 10th anniversary and the biggest SD ever, I should think that's why YMAS are playing.

[Andre91]

That would be great, but I can't see it happening. If they get some decent support, ADTR could do it on their own.

A Day To Remember

Of Mice & Men

Neck Deep

That would go down a treat I think.

That's exactly why but yeah idk Imo I just don't see ADTR at Leeds next year
