Radio 1/NME Stage

[mrtourette]

I'm pretty sure that The Streets have said that he/they have ended aand aren't doing anything else again. Mumford were a big hit last year but I can't see them coming back for a second year in a row, if they did I think they'd be moved onto the main stage.

I'd love the headliners to have the quality to really rival the main stage, like Primal Scream, BRMC or Suede but I think it'll be from bands like Jimmy Eat World, The xx, The View or The Maccabees. Good but not mindblowing.

[allan14]

yea the streets said that this tour is there last tour but i reckon they will do festival this summer before jacking it in compleatly

That was an astonishing sight in the tent last year.

Do you honestly think they'll have the same impact one year on though? Unless Radio 1 force them as much as I gather they did last year... I mean, people forget, don't they? Your average Radio 1 listener doesn't exactly the greatest attention span, and if Mumford & Sons become unfashionable then they'll lose half of the fickle audience that turned up to the tent last year.

[bennyk]

that would make me very very happy

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Chase and Status [ whilst muse are on]

Soundgarden [whilst the strokes are on]

Vampire Weekend [whilst MCR are on]

[Leyser]

Those bands except:

Muse - Chase and Status

The Strokes - Vampire Weekend

My Chemical Romance - Soundgarden

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Would be better but probably won't happen

[Leyser]

I'm saying that it would be better because I would probably only see The Strokes and Soundgarden out of those 6. Maybe Muse depending on clashes as I have never seen them and wouldn't go to their own gig.

To have Strokes and Soundgarden clashing would be upsetting, so against MCR would be better. I just can't see Soundgarden and MCR on at the same time for some reason

[Guckeery]

i would love it if soundgarden were on the same time as mcr

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I'm going to update the possibility of Vampire Weekend playing and replace them with Glasvegas. So, while The Strokes are playing, Glasvegas will be on the NME stage.

[purplehaze81]

I would much prefer Vampire Weekend.

[mrtourette]

I'd have thought that Vampire Weekend are too big to headline the tent nowadays.

[Davis_89]

Both Vampire Weekend and Glasvegas have a similar fanbase to that of The Strokes so I highly doubt either would be on at the same time. Its far more likely to be something heavier or dance/electro up against them to give people a bit more choice.

[jump]

Does anyone reckon it'll be like 2009 and have a few heavy/alternative headliners since MCR won't please alot of the heavy crowd?

[mrtourette]

Hopefully, maybe a band that begins with S and has eleven letters?

[purplehaze81]

This band with a ridiculously large band name will devour us all! Agh! AGHH! AGGGGGGGGGGHH!!!

My all-time favourite episode of The Simpsons.

[onemangang]

frank turner, all the bands from the n.m.e tour, the pigeon detectives,out side possibility of beady eye. i hope for alot of strong bands in the tents, mainly to drown out the din for the horrendous headliners. (mcr an muse)
