Lineup 2016

[Andre91]

The 1975 are way too big to play the NME tent. They absolutely packed it out in 2014 like no band I've seen in the years I've been going to Leeds. I think they will be 'subbing' the co-headliners. I also think that Jack Ü will straight up headline the NME and not just play a closing set.

Hacktivist is such a random pick amongst that

Biffy Clyro/ Fall Out Boy (co-headline), Weezer/ Wolf Alice/ Hacktivist

Bloc Party/ The 1975 and Frank Turner as R1/NME headliners (with Jack U before The 1975)

Think this is what we'll get.

Imagine dragons are 100% a sub.

Haha Weezer below Biffy/FOB is great, but it's probably TDCC. Jack U, Frank Turner and Bloc Party with a dance closer for NME tops. The only way I see that different is if TLSP aren't there or Courteeners are one further down to allow Frank to play main and then I only see The Vaccines in the NME spot anyway.

The mixture of slashes, commas and 'and's in here is disgusting.

Imagine Dragons will defo sub, The 1975 will defo play main stage (I agree below Foals/Disclosure), Jack Ü will headline NME.

foals ahead of disclosure and The last shadow puppets definitely above courteeners (not that i have something against courteeners)

[oneoftherest]

Craig Davids TS5 to headline the dance stage maybe?

Well its going to be both isn't it, as they're both headlining. Didn't know where to place LSP couldn't fit them anywhere else, wanted to put them 3rd but didn't know who to swap.

One will close Reading and one will close Leeds. That's the idea of co-headliners. 

[JSmurphy]

Foals at Wembley Arena was absolute insanity. No doubt in my mind that they're going to smash their headline set.

Jake Bugg is back fgs, I really really hope he doesn't take up a slot

Thankfully I can't see a slot left this year that he could fill.

He'd Sub wouldn't he? 

Who else will be subbing as well as The 1975, and Imagine Dragons?

Depends how his new material goes down. If it's as popular as his last few albums then he'll probably be a co-headliner, obviously not this year, but potentially in the future. The subs this year is a bit confusing because of the whole co-headlining scenario, but I think it'll go something like this:

Red Hot Chili Peppers / Imagine Dragons / Two Door Cinema Club

Foals / Disclosure / The 1975 / CHVRCHES

Biffy Clyro / Fall Out Boy / The Last Shadow Puppets / The Courteeners 

[Foals/Disclosure]

No one announced yet, but potentially Tame Impala or Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls (If they play under a co-headliner).

I always seem to squeeze little bits of info out of you neil 

I assume one of those are headlining NME then, 1975?

[VCK]

If Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy are co-headlining, then why would Biffy take something of a step down by essentially subbing one of the two festivals, when they're beyond headliner status at this stage? Also, are Fall Out Boy really headliner sized?

I find the idea of a Biffy and FOB double header realistic, but it will definitely be Biffy as the headliner and FOB as the sub, at both sites.

Ooo that's interesting if one of them isn't subbing. The 1975 was absolutely rammed in 2014 with just the one album, Imagine Dragons to headline NME?
