Much more excited about it if we're getting stage splits. The poster last year was pretty frustrating. Maybe what Andy C has is different to what will be released, but I doubt it.

Obviously not that wise to it but maybe not impossible. I know bands get early iterations of posters and stuff as they've leaked without certain names before and different positions I think.

If it is the case that it's the proper splits then we've buggered the announcement game.

So much more exciting now knowing that FBS is on the Dan e stage and we're likely not getting the shit poster style of last year

[dentalplan]

I think Kaiser Chiefs announcing a show over V weekend is reasonable cause for R+L fans to worry.

I asked him for the whole poster... He since removed the post. 

I can't find any evidence of your tweet or his on twitter... :L

 

EDIT: Plus Chris Lorenzo is already playing at SW4 so unless he is skipping Creamfields this seems unlikely

Quite a few acts have done Reading/Leeds and Creamfields in the same day. The dude definitely tweeted it - and I don't recall a fake going round with Fatboy on the dance stage so it's probably legit.

[Mattymooz]

Well if we are going on that I'm kinda suprised Dillon is subbing, but that must mean the last dance headliner is pretty decent too. Becky Hill, Noisia and ShyFX are all great (Plus Andy C which we already knew about). Kinda happy Fatboy Slim is on the Dance Stage too as that means maybe we get one more NME headliner/closing set than we thought

Here's the tweet he posted

[FloorFiller]

Well that's an interesting turn of events - Fatboy Slim always seemed a bit of a weird NME headliner. Flume, Bastille and a yet to be announced act as NME headliners then?

Meh, I had FBS (closing set) + London Grammar, Bastille, Flume as my NME toppers. I'd now just remove that and have London Grammar playing last. They're probably more of a night time band anyway.

Muse vs London Grammar

Eminem vs Bastille

Kasabian vs Flume

Last day or two I've had a look properly into who's around etc to finish up a lineup prediction and this is where I've ended up.

[Andre91]

Muse - FLUME 

Eminem - Bastille 

Kasabian - Weezer 

PLEASE. Also, Cypress Hill would be sick.

I guess that makes a lot of sense. I had pretty much the same (didn't look into London Grammar but did have fatboy slim doing a closing set on that day after a mystery headliner)

God I really hope not Flume and Muse are the 2 acts I wanna see the most out of the current line up

[JSmurphy]

I still reckon Korn for NME.

Not sure why you need to see my post... But here it is... 

 

The quoted tweet is Andy C's- like I said it has been removed.

I didnt need to see your post but if I had found it replying to an unavailable quuoted tweet I could have believed it. Just seemed so fishy as EVERYONE seemed to think Fatboy Slim was on the NME and Chris Lornezo was already booked for SW4. Just didn't wanna get hyped for what could have been another fake

Ah.. No worries.

 

As long as the final NME headliner isn't Rebel Sound I'll be ok. Haha.

Weezer doesn't seem at all likely.

Yeah I had that at first. Ended up putting Liam Gallagher on before him even though I really don't think he'll play. Then I spotted that London Grammar are around and that made way more sense to me so I swapped them in.

That's a good point. Flume against Muse and Korn against Kasabian makes sense. I considered this but couldn't think of anyone who I could then put third down main instead of Korn. Considered PATD but they don't appear to be around then.

Muse/Eminem/Korn would probably be a good trio for a lot of people of a certain age.

Huge gap in their tour dates. Perfect for a potential late summer European festival spree...

Yeah but they'd probably have been announced for Pukkelpop or Sziget if they were coming to Europe then.

Muse, The xx, Two Door Cinema Club
Eminem, Major Lazer, Chance The Rapper
Kasabian, alt-J, Liam Gallagher

Flume
Bastille
Korn

My thoughts of how it's gonna play out. Stuck The xx in there but I really don't know who'll sub, FR always slip in at least one unexpected and asinine booking so I do fear that Rudimental or Kaiser Chiefs will end up subbing. 

[AdamJansson88]

Announcements on friday, 7:50 am

[mttJ]

Friday, 7:50AM.

[JSmurphy]

Muse, Skepta, Korn // London Grammar

Eminem, Major Lazer, TDCC // Bastille

Kasabian, alt-J, Chance the Rapper // Flume

Yep seeing Rudimental and Kaisers are both around gave me a worry too. Surely neither would sub now?
