I reckon announcement will be teased tomorrow for Monday at 7.30pm and it'll be all headliners plus a bunch of other stuff. You'd think they would have made an effort to book more women but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they haven't and there's hardly any on the line-up leading to more Twitter controversy.

Out of curiosity who do you think the headliners are @festivalsaregood

I think it'll be Kendrick, Arctic Monkeys and Florence and the Machine but I don't know. I imagine at least one of them will be wrong.

I reckon with their lack of exclusivity at Community and not being announced for any Global fests this week, The Vaccines seem like a good possibility for a decent slot again.

Shame, seen them a few times and become dryer each time

[JSmurphy]

So who's going to end up subbing this? Tame Impala and Stormzy both out - Courteeners / Pixies / Vaccines? A Day to Remember on an exclusive? 

 

[The All Round Ball :|]

I feel The vaccines, pixies and 30stm will be subs. Just a guess. Obviously, you got acts like wolf alice and travis scott but i feel they will headline the NME more than subbing.

What would people think of Phoenix playing? Really want to see them at the National day but nobody I know is interested :/

Vaccines are subbing Community so would be a bit below at Reading. Doesn’t look like Pixies are about and I don’t think they’d sub either. Thirty Seconds to Mars have a well cut out hole in their tour dates for R+L. Alt-J are around too.

Was kinda hoping Chance the Rapper would come back and make up for cancelled European shows but nothing to indicate that yet.

I have 30STM, Courteeners and Travis Scott subbing the coheadline.

Maybe there is hope for those Alkaline Trio fans!

I’ve gone for Travis Scott, Thirty Seconds To Mars and Courteeners too. 

It wouldn’t surprise me to see The Vaccines or CHVRCHES pushed up to sub despite playing slightly lower at smaller festivals.

I don't think they've played anywhere outside of California for a while though have they?

ADTR are touring for their 15th anniversary as a band. I’d love to see them subbing Main or headlining the NME.

Anyone got ideas on what we'll see in 1Xtra stage? I'm hoping they get a few established hip hop names as headliners. Would love to see Pusha T make a return since I wasn't there when he headlined a few years ago. A Vic Mensa, Denzel Curry or Rick Ross would be incredible too, but I'm concerned they want to push grime more (which is fine, just less to my tastes)

As others have said, 30STM, Travis Scott, Courteeners. My next guess after that would be CHVRCHES, followed by The Chainsmokers (reckon they'd sub Kendrick tho and that seems like 30STM's most likely day based on tour dates).

[El_Mago]

God Travis would be a boss sub

 

EDIT: Not why does it always rain on me travis....

Really really hoping for Ski Mask The Slump God or A$AP Ferg. Rappers (not grime artists) currently in my prediction for the 1Xtra stage are: Smokepurpp, Mick Jenkins, $uicideboy$, Azizi Gibson, Isaiah Rashad, Noname, Denzel Curry and A$AP Ferg. Originally had Earl Sweatshirt and Joey Bada$$ but they both seem to be around early summer instead. Lil Pump is an outside shout too.

$uicideboy$ and Joey Bada$$ look pretty likely atm imo. The other one is up for grabs by anyone tbh

Saw Mick play leeds in 2016 (or maybe 2015) and he was fantastic... incidentally is your screen name a Mick Jenkins reference? I'd love Denzel and Noname

Haha, you're the first to pick up on that. My all time favourite artist. What a guy, would love to see him. Yeah Denzel would be great, really love a lot of stuff from his mixtapes. Same with Noname to be fair.

The Water(s) is one of my all time favourite mixtapes, although it's so coherent and intricate I think that it's a little reductive even considering it a mixtape. Props for the Cudi avi too

are people still thinking brits week will be the announcement date? xx

Stopped getting bigger in like 2013. He'd still be like 4th main max if he played, but I reckon he's pretty irrelevant to R&L now.
