Defo say NME sub rather than headliner.

If they're gonna be up there as Download subs come the next album they might end up like A7X where they're not popular enough at R&L to justify the fee/slot they'd demand, so maybe they're just available R&L wanna get em back in before then. Idk.

Great point. I guess I could see that happening.

If the headliners are Flo, Kendrick & AM (I'm sceptical), then Architects headlining NME would make a lot of sense as a heavy alternative.

It would be mental. I'd be very surprised though

[Gucci Piggy]

If Slayer can headline the Park at Glasto they can play Main Stage at R&L.

May as well get Napalm Death involved, too.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

They've done it before. It was dusty.

Can’t see them returning. They’ve got a US tour but after that I’d expect them to take some well deserved time off. 

This might also support the theory of a last minute rush by R+L. No reason for them to come back but they don't have anything scheduled over that weekend so fuck it.

The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe dedicated to all of those with glitter on their faces.

Gojira would be great too! Was tempted to go to Bloodstock for them!

They’re exclusive, aren’t they? I saw them in Birmingham last year and they were mighty impressive. Mario is an absolute freak on drums.

Not sure! But Gojira, Wednesday 13 and Suicidal Tendencies is making Bloodstock a worthy fest for me!

There’s a few names there I’d be real keen on. Nails was one of them until they did a Nails and decided to fuck it off. Dick heads.

Wouldn't mind code orange on the main stage

That’d be amazing. Don’t think they’re about though this summer at all because they haven’t been announced for anything in Europe.

If it ends up being KoL it would've been funnier if Dan didn't spoil it. Still that would be the worst thing possible. Remember when someone asked what would be the best and worst realistic headliners? I've changed my worst to 30STM + Imagine Dragons, FOB, KoL.

Speaking of Architects, who is everyone's guess for random out of place metal band on the main stage this year? Mine's Ghost 

I'll take it.

Think there's a good chance of Mastodon.

Agreed.

I don't think there's any chance of Architects personally, but if they did play it should be as an NME headliner or third down. Could Gojira headline the Pit on top of Bloodstock?

[Steve1000]

Also since Foo's were so guaranteed I've now realised I'd taken them for granted.

If anyone is in central London late tonight, I imagine there will be something in Time Out and you can normally track down a copy fairly easily around Oxford Circus.

So much for AM at Tramlines..

Long shot anyway - £30 early bird for AM, your having a laugh. Even the £50 is cheap. If thats cancelled out and AM aren't exclusives well TRNSMT haven't used it as a tool or...

Yeah I never really believed it but it was rumoured 

[R Shah]

Tbh AM could just wait till autumn and do arena dates. Or just like two huge shows one north one south in August like Milton Keynes and Heaton park or something

I thought that was a good meme untill your edit

Kasabian were claimed to be an exclusive by R&L but then headlined TRNSMT too

[TapeRecorder]

Reckon car seat headrest could be high up on festival republic or low nme? Unlikely but would be a great book
