Not for this, their headliners are already in. 

 

Call me crazy but i can see them play before the Foo Fighters on the 10th.

 

they arent announced yet because its a normal thing not to announce a band for a festival if the band itself still has a show to play that year. They are playing lisbon on november 25th so i would assume if they are booked for NOS they will be announced after november 25th (although the show is pretty much sold out, around 9.5k arena)

Lorde is at NOS too and yeah we’ll see who else turns up.  Always like putting my clashfinder together after they’re all announced to see what I’d of preferred 

 

Indeed, so you've got one sub already. You then need likely KOL, Pulp and Halsey to take 2 slots below as lower than that and they won't play. The drop off in size at NOS is quite noticeable on some areas, Jet was below co-headliners.

No chance, simple as that really, Foos also don't need someone the size of Mumford under them.

Yeah only think they have 1 sub left if you don’t count either TOP or Nick Cave as one.

Yes. Wolf Alice, Lorde and one technically a 3rd down that will probably be not sub but bringing the gap. I don't think it'll be anyone huge though, at most someone bigger that 3rd but not quite sub level.

I think the puzzle will be something like this:

 

TWENTY ONE PILOTS

NICK CAVE

ACT 2

ACT 1

 

FOO FIGHTERS

ACT 3

WOLF ALICE

ACT 1 

 

BURAKA SOM SISTEMA

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

LORDE

TEDDY SWIMS

Even if it was you still only have 1 sub to go and you won't get a sub sized act underneath two co-headliners of Pilots and Cave

What did I say that contradicts that?

Are we assuming Kings of Leon will not be popping along to make up for their 2026 no-show? 21P/NC and FATM/Lorde seem set in stone for the two days they can do, given they're at Mad Cool on the 10th (though whether they'd agree to sub Foos is another matter).

As long as they don't add something like a warm up day I don't see it happening, can't see them putting KoL, 21P and Nick Cave on the same day, which would be the only possibility since the Nos Stage for the 11th is already full

Nope, they won't be below Foos snd the others are catered for.

Maybe Pulp with some luck…

I remember Pulp opened for Foo Fighters at festivals in the UK in 2011. So that is a precedent in a way... if from a very long time ago.

I wouldn't rule it out the day before.

 

[sisco]

Another one from the MC lineup

[charlierc]

Ah yes these guys are cool. Saw them opening for Muse in Milton Keynes in '23 and was impressed.

 

So is the thinking for NOS stage on Foos days now that it'll be Foos > An Other > Wolf Alice > Warning?

Sorry, mate, but you complain about everything. About names confirmed that you like, about names confirmed that you don't like, about names not confirmed...

[Hailhail]

He wants APC on the same day of Foo Fighters! 😂 anyway Im going to the first two days! Shame for Pixies…

[r55N]

Really starting to dig this line-up.
Funny how APC naturally have a place in the Metal festivals (Hellfest, RaR, Tons, Nova etc) but also fit quite well here and in the MC bill,...
