Radio 1/NME Stage

[bennyk]

So with all the talk around the main stage headliners, do we have any real idea's of who will be headlining/playing on the NME stage as we havn't got any rumours apart from the 4 bands that played the shockwaves NME tour.

Thoughts?

[pink_triangle]

I would say white lies are a good shot with their second album having done pretty well. They are the type of band who could be 4th headliners on the mainstage also.

[purplehaze81]

I reckon Florence and the Machine will be one of them. Wouldn't surprise me if Mumford and Sons headline this year too.

I'd like Vampire Weekend also.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Crystal Castles would be a band I'd put down as potential headliners.

[kev1664]

I would love someone like the Offspring, No Doubt, Iggy and the Stooges & Soundgarden in there headlining. I can't see it happening though.

I can see

Plan B

The Enemy

The Subways

The XX

Pigeon Detectives

Manchester Orchestra

The King Blues

Dinosaur Pile up

Pulled Apart By Horses

Mona

Chapel Club

Brian Fallon(gaslight anthem) & Chuck Ragan

Detroit Social Club

Chase & Status

General Fiasco

Funeral Party

A lot of those above, a few that could go on the main stage. Amongst others

[purplehaze81]

Funeral Party will definitely be there mid-afternoon.

I would love it if The Enemy headlined.

White Lies are offensively dull.

Potential headliners:

Death From Above 1979

Vampire Weekend

MGMT

White Lies

Chase & Status

Feeder

Editors

Interpol

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Brand New

The Offspring

Jimmy Eat World

I'd guess at 2 of these.

I personally would love it. Whether they headline or not I think they will be on the bill somewhere this year.

[bennyk]

Yeah they are being pushed quite heavily by Radio 1 - them and The Vaccines. NME tent will have a semi-legendary band on there at some point, like Faith No More, but the other couple of days will be aimed at the type of chavs that actually listen to Radio 1 for a band like Pendulum. I'm not being closed-minded - Pendulum have a large crossover appeal - I'm just saying that a band like that gives the chavs and arseholes a place to go when the main stage, Lock Up and Festival Republic stages all have Rock bands on them, hence my suggestion for Crystal Castles, maybe even somebody like Tinie Tempah or Dizzie Rascal.

[FiestaDave]

Surely Dizzee is far to big to headline the nme?! he must have had 30,000/40,000 watching him at mainstage! As for Tinie, i doubt he would play Leeds, surely he is more of the V fest type?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Can't see them headlining. They've reformed ye but I'm not sure how many people actually care (even though they should!) - they weren't that big to begin with.

[Leyser]

I believe they are headlining another stage

[Vacant0]

Aren't they subbing Coachella?

[John92]

I would guess at one or two of these headlining the nme...

Feeder

The Enemy

Chase & Status

Suede

Portishead (maybe?)

The xx

The offspring

Mumford and sons

The Streets

Manics (if they clash with a big headliner...)
