2012 Lineup

[harderfaster]

If the Gaslight Anthem stay on there upward trajectory that they are on now they will only be moving up the bill. They are fantastic live aswell. I can't see them playing next year though without an album. If they do bring an album out I can see them playing 3rd top they are a band that R&L like and have played on a number of occasions in recent years. I'd say 2013 is more likely. I could also see them headlining the NME stage.

[lharris92]

my latest guess (including nme headliners)

Main

Foo Fighters Bloc Party Green Day

Biffy Clyro Mumford & Sons Lostprophets

NME

Crystal Castles BFMV The Gaslight Anthem

ok i know some placements seem ridiculous but it all depends on new albums and how their popularity changes... no idea who would go under Green Day (if they did play) and i think LP wouldn't be subbing but only time will tell

SOAD

Pixies

Bloc Party

Pendulum

Really doubt either SOAD or Pixies playing, but it would make my life

[Role Model]

Lostprophets get hugely overrated on here.

I still see Pendulum as a NME headliner - 3rd on mainstage band. Do they have plans for a new album? I think it'd take that to elevate them to a natural subheadline band. Pixies would be prettyyy damn cool though.

[pink_triangle]

Yeah by next year they'll have done UK festivals 2 years in a row for American Slang, can't see them being back for a while after this year, which is a shame. But I think they could play third - they must be as popular as The National?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Lostprophets could sub if the next album does well.

[jump]

The nationals last album was top 5 while american slang was top 20. The national are headlining lattitude while galsight anthem havent headlined a festival that size in britain or even subbed from my memory. I enjoy gaslight anthem but think their popularity is massively overrated on here. I personally dont think they have really pushed on as much as I thought from playing with the boss at glasto.

[pink_triangle]

I don't why you keep bring up Springsteen for, I like Gaslight Anthem and couldn't give a shit about Springsteen.

[Banana Co]

I think the springsteen comments are relevant as this was comfortbaly the moment of their career where they got the most publicity in the uk. Everyone knows its publicity more than talent that causes a band to get big and if you have the combination of both then you on to a winner. I personally expected the last album to do better. They seem to be maintaining a fnabase but they dont seem to get the exposure to get more fans and push them up to the next level.

[Yellow_Fellow]

When a good band becomes mainstream their music sounds too mainsteam.

[Yellow_Fellow]

would love to see them sub... i think it would spark some excitement like when they headlined NME in '09.

[Tigerdragon]

Can't see them being on much but a downward spiral to be honest. I like them, but I think they're losing relevancy.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Definitely, but as I said, if the album is another Start Something, they could pull it off.

Isnt that like saying what if feeder released another echo park, what if ash released another free all angels, what if weezer released another pinkerton. Fact is at this stage of their careers bands generally get worse and less succesful, not better.

[Banana Co]

Don't have an NME yet.

MAIN

Linkin Park

Slipknot

Fall Out Boy

The Smiths (I know it's not gonna happen)

Chemical Brothers

Babyshambles

Green Day

Daft Punk

Placebo

This one is a tad unlikely.
