dont think jakc white and black keys are the best of friends as i've seen somewhere that jack white reckons dan 'stole his thunder' a little by using the same idea sort of. seems silly to me as blues is what about 100 years old but apparently he has beef, might just be press bullshit though

[Asdaprice]

Arctic monkeys, Mumford and sons, Metallica, the vaccines, the XX, queens of the Stone Age, bloc party, Dizzee rascal, bullet for my valentine, of monsters and men, jimmy eat world, gaslight anthem for main stage next year I reckon

I heard it's apparently that Jack wanted to work with somone but they never showed up to their session and was pissed about it as that person went and worked with The Black Keys instead.

Putting aside the fact Arcade Fire vs. Sigur Ros would kill me, it'd be the most nonsensical clash possible.

I didn't even realise that I'd put those two on the same day as that clash would be terrible for me as well!

[sjseabass]

Wouldn't have those three NME stage headliners in a million years.

[Gucci Piggy]

Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys would be a sweet set of headliners. Missing Metallica would be a bit rubbish, though.

[dentalplan]

Stop doing line ups in columns guys. Can't see shit on my phone.

Although if Little Comets are 5th down, not sure whether I want to see the rest. They wouldn't make 5th on FR.

You'd still be able to hear Metallica while watching Sigur Ros.

[Gucci Piggy]

You'd still be able to hear Metallica while watching Sigur Ros.

Would that be a bit like listening to Metallica and Lou Reed?

[Andre91]

What's "I am the table" in Icelandic ?

[music-fan4]

Based on this years nme I'd say one of calvin harris, example or maybe even plan b will headline nme next year, seems they're going for a more mainstream vibe on the nme...

Yeah, the Little Comets placement probably wasn't very realistic was it

Still, it's more of a wishlist than a prediction and I'd have Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire and (probably) Weezer as headliners, which sounds very very nice indeed

Going by this years NME all three if those are way too big... They'd all play 2/3 main.

[Asdaprice]

I don't think this years nme is future to play by, they are. obviously are trying something out and it may or may not work. But even then it's not too different, they are all current popular acts

[Tobieski]

Disappointing to see Bastille making it so far up peoples predictions for next year, they're so utterly average.

They're this years Alt-J

[dentalplan]

They're this years Alt-J

Well if they're gonna continue giving the NME slot to Mercury Prize winners, maybe not. They're not even on the odds list.

David Bowie looks to be leading. Would be no complaints here

Bowie's new album was a bit average IMO

At the moment I'd give it to Foals or Peace. I'm sure Primal Scream and Arctic Monkeys will come in to play later in the year though

Depends. Has to be out by July or so doesn't it?

I'd give to Suede right now but we'll see; it'll probably be something from late last year that we forgot about. Or Jake Bugg.

Oh, I didn't know about that. Mumford & Sons then

[lightning1000]

I'd give it to biffy clyro, but mercury never go for that sort of album.

I think it has a bit of everything, stadium anthems as well as more experimental weird tracks. I think there's only 2 tracks out of 20 I don't like. Pocket and the thaw.
