gutted that 1975 only have an hour

They've got an hour and a half.

[mttJ]

Does there really need to be a half an hour gap between the first six acts on the NME Friday? Really can't see them putting a secret set up against Billie Eilish.

1975 don’t have an hour lmao

Set times as good as could be from first glance from my point of view. No clashes that were not already expected, and no clash between Fidlar and Chvrches!

Frank Turner 12pm secret set on Lockup Friday (Lee)/Sunday (Rea) - he's around on those dates

Except hes nearer Reading on Friday and literally in Leeds Saturday. Hes more likely the introducing or FR slot on 1975 day.

Think its more likely he opens the Pit on Friday, or plays on BBC Introducing at 14:45 (Reading)

RIP the biffy clyro dream

[Diamond24]

It's annoying that they've brought forward Peace headlining the FR stage to an earlier time, so they're clashing with TOP. I was hoping to watch Twenty One Pilots, who I at least know some songs of and can tolerate, and then see Peace whilst Post Malone is in. There is nothing for me when Post is on now.

mon the biff

The Biffy dream may not be dead if they've really messed up the stage time announcement. The lack of a major secret set would tie in with the fact we've not had any concrete rumours though, I suppose.

I've seen an act called SCUM on the BBC introducing stage and I couldn't find records of them or there music anywhere so that could be a Rat Boy secret set

They're a 3 piece punk band from Leeds

[ob123]

Any chance of any secret sets from bands already playing the same day? Like Wombats did on the introducing stage last year?  

[mrtourette]

Works out pretty well on the Sunday, no clashes between The Distillers, FIDLAR, The Mysterines or Foos, and bonus bar time in between.

My guesses (reading) 

Fri: Royal Blood or You Me At Six

Sat: Blossoms (acoustic) 

Sun: The Amazons

That would be nice, although I’d rather Sundara on the Sunday now I know they’re clashing with foos

What do you mean they might've messed up the stage time announcement? Are you suggesting they got the stage times wrong?
