2011 Lineup

[rexclark]

I would say that Justice could headline the NME. They're one of the biggest dance acts around and they're gonna get even bigger after this album. The also appeal to a wide range of people, the dance heads would love it and the cool teenage crowd would be there too.

But, I don't think they're planning a tour just now so i doubt we'll see them but we can but hope.

[Bisque]

It's a pain in the bell that Creamfields gets the cream of the crop that weekend. Would love to see Brookes Brothers make an appearance.

It's not too hard for an act to play R&L and Creamfields, it just doesn't happen that often. There aren't alot of acts that would crossover.

[rivalschools.price]

Yes please! BTW if noones heard it, heres the new smashing pumpkins song:

yeah,great track.been playing it the last few days. corgan has been coming out with some good stuff lately,given away free too.what a good egg.love them to come over and play some of the new stuff on the NME stage or something with a sign saying 'this is not a greatest hits set and billy corgan is the only remaining original member in the band and is not of a sunny disposition.if you are not happy with this arrangement then go and watch someone else'. ha ha.

that should stop people shouting out for 'bullet' and 'tonight tonight' before pointing out that its not the original line up and corgan is a miserable bastard.

I heard Public Enemy are an exclusive for Bestival

[anything++]

So what exactly is announed on Monday? Just the headliners and subs?

[Hart Attack]

It's usually the top seven or so on main, plus top five-ish of second stage. Give or take one or two bands per day/stage.

Edited March 20, 2011 by Hart Attack

[Hart Attack]

Here are the first announcements from the last few years:

...so expect something like that - probably between thirty and forty main and second stage bands in total.

2008 looked good, especially the Saturday.

The NME is fun, Justice into BFMV into Manics.

[onemangang]

in a way i feel slighty saddened by the prospect of knowing the r+l line up, since the end of last year we have been talking about who will play and who wont play. all them months of arguments and talks and chatter an so called sauces, it will all come to more or less nothingness and it will be all over in a matter of minutes on monday 21th march at 7:15

also were there is not knowing theres allways hope, even if the odds are stacked against it actually happening. mainly this sort of behaviour has been shown with mcr and to a slighty lesser exstent with muse in the shape of people trying to come up with alternitave line ups/predictions witch has been really good fun.

READING AND LEEDS 2011 will be great, maybe not one of the better known years but still pretty bluddy good none the less.

why?? because we have the best fans in the world

Everytime I look at those past line-ups, it makes this years look worse and worse.

Really hope they dont announce NME like this one then:

Only going for the day this year. Basically only want to see The Streets so I hope it's clear what day they will be playing.

[Yellow_Fellow]

That was just because they were waiting for confirmation on Faith No More and Lostprophets.

[SOAD]

2009 was such a good year

[dannyv18]

can we just have the 2008 lineup again this year! ... pleaseeee ^.^ hahaa

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

2009 was the first year I went, and me and my friends just picked any day to go, just to have the experience. We ended up going to Friday, because we'd hoped K.O.L wouldn't play much of OBTN (how naive) and went Saturday because we're big Arctics fans. However 2009 was easily the weakest line-up in a long time, and I suspect we didn't enjoy it as much as we could of have done if we went in '08 or '07 which both had very good line ups.

Went again last year but only for The Libertines.

[chappiepunk]

2003 was the first year I went, now that was a good line up!

[Rudzkii]

That lineup made me wet.. myself. That is almost every band that I love.

[Vieuphoria]

2009 was a good year for me. 3 of the best festival sets I have ever seen at one festival. yes please.

2008 and 2010 rank equal. But 2010 edges it because of Weezer and The Libertines

TV on the radio - gotta be dead certs for this year
