Properbigfan Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 What stage and slot does everyone think diplo will take? NME sub? Dance headline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only subbing Wireless, yet a headliner from last year (Skepta) is billed lower than him... Baffling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have reason to believe acts as big as Travis Scott, The Vaccines, Logic and Chvrches are being held over for next announcement. There aren't many big slots left though are there? This is what I have atm: Fri Main: FoB / Post Malone / ?? NME: Wolf Alice / NBT Sat Main: Kdot / Panic! / ?? NME: Dua Lipa / Sigrid Sun Main: KoL / Courteeners / The Wombats NME: Skepta / J Hus And imo those 3rd down slots are probably The Vaccines on the Saturday (as then it doesn't look like the same slot as 2016 on the poster) who haven't been announced due to Community + Latitude Then on the Friday I'm guessing it's Don Broco who are waiting for their tour to end in a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Honestly the thing thats shocked me most about the announcement is the lack of metal/punk. We usually expect a main stage heavy band at this point in the line up releases ie Architects or Korn last year, but absolutely nothing on here that could even suit the Pit other than possibly Sum 41 or Papa Roach but even they're a push. Fair enough you've got Underoath and Beartooth but lets be honest they only really appeal to a certain strand of audience. Still hoping we get someone like Gojira or Baroness like some were predicting earlier in the further announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt Skepta will go on NME as he'd gather almost as much interest as Kings of leon in all honesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also The Hunna are surely most likely to take the Friday 3rd down slot? I dunno if they still have tour tickets to sell or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't have legs anymore. They would have said there were more headliners to come or announced the second stage before as its own separate thing if it was actually happening. It either never was gonna happen or they changed their mind for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Mago Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Are the Hunna particularly big? I can't say I've ever come across their stuff before although I'm giving them a listen now and they seem to have some pretty nice stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR OK was told they're headlining NME and there still seems to be an NME headliner to come on the Saturday. However Dan Wilcox who seemed to have the best info says The Vaccines are playing and along with The Hunna those slots are running out. 3 minutes ago, Lukie74 said: Pretty sure Dan said it but it was right after he asked if he should make some more bs up.

Yeah. Could be the NME headliner if both Dua and Sum 41 are on Main. Doesn't seem likely but not impossible either. Dream scenario is Main goes King Kenny > Panic > Chvrches > Dua > Wigrid, with Sum 41 as NME headliner, but that would be too convenient to ever happen.

arthuragone Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Why would they not add a strong NME headliner on the weak Friday night rather than Saturday? Also I don't get why would they do a Lamar vs Due Lipa on Saturday, don't make any sens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just realised that obviously until recently Travis Scott was subbing FOB with Post Malone third down. Can't see them having originally had The Hunna fourth and Don Broco fifth. There's also Nothing But Thieves to fit in but they could be NME subs. FOB / Travis Scott / Post Malone / Don Broco Wold Alice / Nothing But Thieves Kendrick Lamar / PATD / Dua Lipa / The Hunna / Sum-41 The Vaccines / Sigrid KoL / Corteeners / Skepta / The Wombats Diplo (closing set) / J Hus Travis Scott either pulled out and acts shunted up, or being held back for a later announcement.
