I feel like a fool right now but what is meant by the undercard?

[Vieuphoria]

the acts that play before the headliner.

[dentalplan]

Mainstage, along with Flo, Kaisers, Ten D & Black Keys, I'd say a few of Korn, The Darkness, Feeder, Lostprophets, YMA6, Garbage, possibly Placebo. (all could have been at Download/V but aren't) The Cribs are pretty likely, will probably slot under Kaisers as they supported a few of their shows. Vaccines will pop up somewhere, as will Ash, who are there every couple years. Not really expecting Pixies along with everyone else, would be brilliant but no upcoming gigs, couldn't see them bother just doing the one European festival unfortunately. Same with Dinosaur Jr., could see a J Mascis solo show, but not on main.

For the NME stage, my opinion would be that Justice will be this year's dance headliner (due to the amount NME have carried on about them), with TDCC below. Maccabees and Foster the People against the heavier mainstage day, and At The Drive In headlining NME while Kasabian are on. Then a few of the NME awards tour/shows bands littered about, apart from Azealia Banks who may be more likely on the Dance Stage.

Lockup - Refused and maybe Dropkick Murphys. Dance stage - who knows.

FR could be anyone's really, Mark Lanegan seems likely, maybe Flaming Lips or Bon Iver headlining too. Bit of a weird one with Lana Del Rey but she's announced for a couple of things in UK so why not.

I'm with you on that one i think the Courteeners have a good chance of playing 4th/5th main stage or headliner/subheadliner on NME

[Joe williams]

oh right so the subs? so how about?

The Cure/Kasabian/Foos

FATM/Bloc Party/The Black keys

Dizzee Rascal/Kaiser Chiefs/Tenacious D

[TYLER_4]

Be good if Puscifer came here.

[DL50]

Has nobody mentioned Sleigh Bells yet? I reckon they could play somewhere mid card on NME stage

[TeddyPicker]

Cage The Elephant to make an appearance? Killed it last year, I'd imagine they'd make a popular return if they featured!

[AcademicPistol]

The Cure/Kasabian/Foos

FATM/Bloc Party/The Black keys

Dizzee Rascal/Kaiser Chiefs/Tenacious D

[Joe williams]

Could well be the line up and "subs" are the subheadline act (2nd top) and the rest is refered to as the undercard.

Wouldnt mind some bands like Deaf Havana, Lower Than Atlantis.

And if At the drive-in Don't play i'm going to be disappointed

[Vieuphoria]

wouldn't mind Coheed actually.... Didn't like them, but saw them at Glasto 2010 and they were fantastic.

[ChloeLovesLeeds]

QOTSA were amazing in 2010, i'd love to see them again. But Pixies would be absolutely amazing!

[iPaulo xD]

Hoping for a paramore return, or they can headline in 2013

[The Mean Bean]

I've seen Paramore 4 times and the set they played in 2010 was the worst i've seen!

[Vieuphoria]

yeah man they were pretty dire at Reading last time.

Struggled with such a high slot

[iPaulo xD]

Aye, i thought they were poor at leeds in 2010, but i have been to many gigs and when i saw them in the liverpool echo in november 2010 it was the best gig i have been to. hopefully one day
