2013 Lineup

[2rare2die]

I can imagine the first aid tent after The Prodigy must have been like a scene in a war film. I heard so many horror stories about people getting crushed and being trampled on and whatnot. Girls having panic attacks, swarms of people trying to get out making the crushes worse. I deliberately stood near the back of the crowd because I knew this would happen, in contrast to when I was near the front for Ian Brown and Eagles Of Death Metal earlier that day, neither of which set I felt uncomfortable at any time during.

It was still a great set and Arctics were an anti-climax after, just like KOL were after Kaiser Chiefs who, to everyone's surprise, stole the show that year!

Jack White is saying festivals are evil and he isn't intrested in them, probably why he didn't pop up at any UK fests this year.

Nice to know all the years I've enjoyed him at fests didn't mean anything to him and I look forward to seeing him at the Itunes festival later today

I think that's why they ended up moving the main stage, because of the crowd for The Prodigy. It also led to one of the scariest experiences I've had at a festival, after they'd stopped people exiting the main stage to the right on the last night, which meant the crowd coming in for KOL ran straight into the crowd coming out for FNM.

Do we think there could be any big reunions within the coming months that could be snapped up by R&L? The Smiths would be lovely.

pretty good mate. Would be very happy with that.

[Andre91]

Amazing lineup for me, I'd be made up with that.

[LEMON_WOLF]

The Blackout would never ever be on lock up. But overall I'd say quite a good lineup, though given the current R/L demographic Soundgarden and Rancid would both get small crowds

[thetime]

Bush v placebo would be a killer.

[LEMON_WOLF]

[thetime]

I like both but Placebo as NME headliner would be amazing!

[Hawky]

I'd love to see Deadmau5 headline the NME

[Hucksy]

Could Linkin Park perhaps headline one of the days? New album, haven't released any tour dates over here yet, haven't played since 2003?

[Vieuphoria]

People still care about Linkin Park?

[Andre91]

I swear it was you who was suggesting Puddle Of Mud and 3 Doors Down the other day?
