Love Manchester Orchestra - really hope they do play

[kev1664]

And me, One of the best bands Ive seen at leeds. Shame they only played 4 songs at Leeds because his guitar f**ked up.

Hopefully going to see them when they come over.

someone mentioned earlier in this thread (i think it was this thread) that they have heard fall out boys headlining nme for a one off show (or somthing like that)

thats just confirming it is possible and them saying it this close to reading annocement?

[Englishdragon]

What year was that? It couldn't have been 2009 they deffo done their whole timeslot I watched it.

[kev1664]

It was 2009. they was on stage for their whole set but spent a long time trying to fix his guitar and in turn because they couldn't do it they only played about half the songs they should have done.

a lot point towards

mumford and sons - headline against msue, normally i'd say way to bigger packout after last year but against muse this tiem not arcade fire, keeps the tent atmosphere too instead of 4th main

offspring - perfect up against the strokes to be honest.

beardy eye - liam wont accept lower i doubt, got a good chnce as would've thought they would've been announced for v by now and will split the crowd well from the prodigy or mcr if indeed it is them

sum1 posted info to say that prodigy are actually headlining above mcr. i guess ppl would rather sit thru mcr for prodigy than other way, it would end up being prodigy and a massive run for beardy eye in nme.

neil from efests also couldn't rule this out plus the guy included muse, the strokes and pulp init. think he may've got a bit wrong though

i'm expecting,

muse

elbow

mumford & sons

the strokes

pulp

the offspring - announced a date in paris 31st which makes it likely and soni latest would probs rule them out there.

prodigy - repat yes but safe but and good safe live option for the masses

mcr - obvs look to be playing but headline is questionable.

Brother (sort of) hinted that they are playing reading/leeds this year. Someone asked on their facebook page and they replied with ''. I'd say that Brother are better than Beady eye.. obviously neither should headline the tent as they are both new bands. But if brother (and other new bands like vaccines and mona) play, then they are probably going to be halfway down the bill in the nme tent. Just seems unfair that beady eye would probably be headliners just because they all used to be in a band which they now refuse to play songs from. (if that makes sense).
