strokes

pulp

elbow

[jump]

I reckon Elbow will be subbing now if they did play.

[Vieuphoria]

Definitely. If their new album does as well as the last one then they could headline i think.

[SOAD]

I could imagine something like this

Friday @ Leeds

The Strokes - yep

Pulp - yep

Manic Street Preachers - I was thinking this slot would be good for them but think with them playing IOW tis less likely

Florence & the Machine - would be higher

Mumford & Sons - would be higher and I'm starting to think will be at V... especially since nominated for the Brits

White Lies - yes

The Pigeon Detectives - too low

NME

Soundgarden - maybe although think they would want a main stage slot

Scars on Broadway - doubt this high as Serj only fourth headlined this stage and his solo stuff was more popular than Scars.. really hope they tour but it seems Daron wasnt that bothered about touring with them

The Subways - would prob second headline now

Chuck Ragan & Brian Fallon - hmmm

Pulled Apart By Horses - prob too high

Dinosaur Pile Up - too high

Saturday/Sunday @ Leeds

My Chemical Romance - yes

30 Seconds to Mars - yes

The Offspring - doubt it

Iggy & the Stooges - prob IOW only

Korn - looking less likely what with them playing Rock Am Ring.. prob do Soni which Metal Hammer are rumouring them for

Gallows - maybe

(Lock Up Headliner)

NME

The XX - if they are touring would def suit this slot but don't know if they will be

Crystal Castles - yes

Magnetic Man - yes

Everything Everything - yes

The Vaccines - yes all the correct spots but doubt all of the NME tour will be on one day

Mona - yes

Sunday / Saturday @ Leeds

Muse - yes

Placebo - will be taking the year off

Bullet for my Valentine - could happen

No Doubt - doubt it

Feeder - yes

Jamie T - maybe but prob on the indie day

Manchester Orchestra - waaay too high

NME

The Enemy - maybe

Plan B - yeah although been thinking may be too low for him even if he just does his rap stuff

Chase & Status - yes

The King Blues - too high

Detroit Social Club - too high imo

Chapel Club - bit lower I would say but think will play.. prob on FR

I can see the Friday (strokes day) being pretty darn accurate.

Although, could Scars on broadway play seeing as SOAD are back together this summer?

[mrtourette]

I dunno, that Friday looks far too good/popular.

[VCK]

SOAD's line-up looks pretty spot on, just a few pedantic niggles though (in good old fashioned RFO style )

- I think the Friday will be heavier than that, at least based upon the last two years.

- At least one of Florence, Vampire Weekend and MGMT will be there I reckon.

- Not sure if Lostprophets will be back so soon playing the same slot (I know, I know, Bloc Party )

- Think FFAF would be higher in the tent.

- Are The Streets still capable of headlining the tent? Massive dip in popularity.

- Ditto, don't think PATD are big enough for 4th.

I do like the look of that line-up though.

Oh yeah, on a personal note, you should swap Soundgarden and The XX around...

[harderfaster]

why aren't jew likely?

[rexclark]

Why are people always thinking that acts like The Kooks or The Enemy will headline the NME? There's no chance of it happening, the NME headliners will either be a new act or an established act, not an act who were big briefly before dissapearing up their own arse.

[mrtourette]

Er, The Klaxons?

[SOAD]

why aren't jew likely?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I know as of a month or so ago JEW were in talks with Download and R/L
