I wasn't here last year. Please could someone explain the blue chicken thing? Cheers. 

Someone made an account under the name Blue Chicken and their only post was an announcement prediction on this thread.

I can't remember if they got it right or not, though!

Someone said the initial poster would drop, they got it right... but wasn't that the year before? I remember being surprised about Motorhead.

The outer limits or something. Also told us alt-J were subbing when we thought they were headlining Other (obviously they ended up third but were probs subbing at the time, before Weller came in).

That's the badger

[Krisesk]

Out of interest, have The NME Awards brought about any other confirmations other than Foo Fighters the first time?

[the wonderwhy]

Surely it's hung? 

[Andeeroo]

I think Michael let Dolly slip at the NME awards didn't he? I think bmtth also mentioned something last year.

It's normally good for the odd band letting something slip.

Yeah usually gets a confirmation for at least 1 act, usually a headliner (think we got blondie out of the 2013 awards)

You would think so, but I believe 'hanged' is correct when referring to hanging something by the neck.

Must be something soon, its getting past the point of being `mysterious` and entering the realm of `just tell us something already!`.....noones expecting the full lineup in February/march but something more then just 1 headliner would be nice........its a long cold winter, glasto hype is a great help in getting through it with thoughts of the upcoming June fun but hard to get hyped over 1 band radiohead or not

Blur , U2 , Dolly Parton 

[dentalplan]

Also Blondie. I think Peej was announced unofficially on the night, and then Emily tweeted it the following day. Remember getting The Horrors confirmed through an interview on a, er, red carpet interview too. 

[kingcrawler]

I seem to remember The Maccabees self confirming at the NME awards a couple of years ago too.

I was thinking that too but didn't know if I was getting mixed up with them essentially confirming Latitude last year.

They're in the hat for this year so we might get that firmed up if they do that again.

On the topic of the nme awards, I'm impressed that David Bowie has been one of the most heroic figures this last year, despite being dead for all of it

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

NME Award watch...

Martin Garrix and Charlie XCX have just been papped on the red carpet. And they wonder why that can't even give that rag away outside the tube station

[JoBalls]

So, red carpet would be happening now, is anyone taking one for the team and watching the Facebook Live stream?

Was she not announced on the radio by Emily one morning, and then tweeted afterwards?

I definitely woke up to the news; posted on Facebook by 6music, I think. I guess I could have gone to bed before it was announced on the night and woken up to it, though.

I think you're both right, the interview was from the NME Awards and was on 6music the morning after.
