Not sure if anyone has mentioned them yet but would N.E.R.D fit in anywhere, theyd probably have to sub if booked but I guess they would be a similar booking to Major Lazer who went down fairly well I think, they’re in Paris that weekend. 

I think they could be a strong NME headliner tbh, but I defo wouldn't say subbing (and I doubt that they'd play anyway). At Parklife they are playing the same slot as Lorde so

But haven’t a lot of people predicted Lorde to sub this year anyway?

Personally I would peg her as 3rd down, maybe NME headliner

For some reason I feel like lorde subbing foo fighters would work.

No they ain't, they're playing above Lorde.

Anyone know if kooks will be performing?

Seems like a lot of people are fixated on the FF/Kendrick/Royal Blood, Imagine Dragons, Paramore as headliners.

I’m still hoping for QOTSA / Pixies but not really sure where they would fit in, I can’t imagine Queens would sub now?

That means Queens would be headlining two festival republic gigs within an hour of London in the same summer.

I didn’t realise the Finsbury gig was part of a festival! Unlikely then.

Not a single announced show so far for this year, I'm hoping he plays tho.

Really loving the new Django Django album, really hopeful they'll turn up. Have them as 3rd down NME but could probably headline FR again too. Is this likely or will they probably not do it?

Headlined FR in 2015 so probably won't end up there again, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them on the lineup. Mid/high NME sounds about right for them.

Playing Download so unlikely. They are amazing BTW. Big futures those boys.

Wasting Light is my favourite album of all time. When I saw them at the o2 they played 5/11 songs from it. What's even more cool is they did the whole thing in Dave's garage. 

Try watching ‘back and forth’ on Netflix, amazing documentary and shows a lot of how they made each album, especially wasting light 

[Breakfast club]

Any chance of this year having a dance act as the secret set?

There was a second email about Albert's album like half an hour later. That was it.

Might do both. Big futures, as you say. R+L might haul 'em back over especially to be part of their ascent.
