I think they'd gather a decent crowd in the NME tent. Would be a nice addition in my opinion Yeah there'll be space for plenty of bands of their size.

MIchael_scarn Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was watching MTV because they had a show for some of the acts for R+L 2017 and Lower Than Atlantis were played. I dunno if i'm reading into it too much and I don't think MTV have inside knowledge we are unaware of but they've played 4 of the last 5 years and released a new album last month so I feel they're definitely in with a shout of playing again this year.

Personally I'd say: Main Stage: Royal Blood NME: The Kooks/ Kaiser Chiefs Dance: Wilkinson Pit: Rise Against Festival Republic: Watsky 1xtra: Joey badass In no way am I expecting all these to be announced but it's who i'd be happy with, What's everyone else hoping for? Watsky would be awsome!! Kaiser Chiefs would be good too, I saw them earlier this month and were a lot better than i thought they'd be, prefer their older stuff though. The likelihood is that them or the kooks would take a main stage slot i think. NME should be expecting someone like RTJ, Chance or London Grammar to headline their stage.

thelemon Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Chance The Rapper is headlining Lollapalooza alongside Muse, Arcade Fire and The Killers. Don't get me wrong, I like him, Colouring Book was good, but there is no way on earth he is in the same category as those in terms of size. That's crazy. Idk if that counts him out of R+L or not but if he ends up playing will it affect his position? Could he end up subbing rather than third down/NME?

Idk if that counts him out of R+L or not but if he ends up playing will it affect his position? Could he end up subbing rather than third down/NME? It doesn't affect his position. He's already not headlining some festivals over in Europe. But it's not really crazy either. He's headlining a bunch of other US festivals so it's fair, and being a Chicago native who does a lot for the community if there's anywhere he deserves to be headlining it's there. In fact, he's actually considered the no. 1 act on the line up, as in America they have this weird thing where acts are placed in a rank order and agents will bicker with promoters to get their act a higher ranking. There would be devastating scenes on here if that was the case in the UK and we were constantly locked in arguments about whether someone is a second line act or a third line act. But yeah, back to what you were saying about the size of those acts; festivals stateside are doing really well at moving newer and current acts into headline positions and I feel like it's even getting to a point where acts like Muse and The Killers and Blink are sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the billed acts. I think the tide is changing for festival headliners in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
