[kemosabe]

I havent missed a night of cricket yet

At least the pain is almost over

[dentalplan]

Had to make a new account seeing as I lost the password to my other! >.<

What's the latest in L+R rumors guys?

What have I been missing?!

Nothing new, just what's on the listings plus the Queens/Paramore thing. Edited January 4, 2014 by dentalplan

How does one understand cricket?

[Matt42]

I don't know whether I want this February announcement or not...

things could get even uglier here.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Interview with Fred Durst in the new Kerrang saying they've just been invited to play one of the major fests. Obviously Soni and Download would be more likely but RandL are a possibility.

Funeral for a Friend in Cardiff
Nine Inch Nails in Cardiff
Brand New in Southampton

I think it will be Soni out of them but I could see R&L

What is counted as a step up from headlining the NME stage?? I realise headling and Subbing the main are... but is playing 3rd or 4th a step down or a step up.... and the same for 5th on main??

Entirely contextual

[Matt42]

So, 'lineups' of festivals in 2014. Highlighted red are confirmed acts, highlighted blue are rumours/strong rumours/possibilities.

R/L: Blink 182, Queens/Paramore, Arctic Monkeys

Download: Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Aerosmith

T In The Park: Biffy Clyro, Eminem, Arctic Monkeys & ???

IOW: Biffy Clyro/Calvin Harris, Kings Of Leon, The Prodigy

Glastonbury: Arcade Fire, Kasabian, Prince

Sonisphere: The Prodigy, Metallica, Iron Maiden

Piecing everything together we have quite a summer, and say all those rumours are the actual bookings there's a fair few big acts around this coming summer. Lots of repeats though... guess that's standard.

[Gucci Piggy]

Prince isn't likely at all for Glastonbury.

[Matt42]

Prince isn't likely at all for Glastonbury.

Neil has a source he's doing it.

And this came to light today

http://www.nme.com/news/prince/74708

Emily has said in interviews that Prince has changed his mind about glastonbury, and he finally wants to do it. I put it in blue remembe, so that's not me putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

Come on though, that source said Led Zeppelin too. Prince is always rumoured to be touring Europe, and it's the Daily Mirror that's reported it...

Dunno about those IOW headliners - there's no real rumours for either, just your predictions.

[Hawky]

i was going to go to glastonbury but i'm glad i am not with those potential headliners

[Hawky]

i'm so glad that i haven't watched the ashes i mean england have been destroyed i normally do watch it as well

[Andre91]

I'm glad I don't bother watching the cricket either. Gives me more time to watch NBA

It's not entirely accurate but usually bands headlining the NME would slot in around third on the main. I think we discussed this a few pages back, but that isn't some form of rule, given you have acts like Alt-J headlining nowadays. Personally I'd say that 4th and 5th mainstage would be a step down

[giantwagon]

If we look at last years 3rds, all of Deftones, Foals and FOB would have been strong NME headliners. As for 4ths, Frank, White Lies and The Lumineers would have been questionable (maybe not Frank but the other two definitely), however I think BMTH, Brand New & Editors would have been strong.

Just shows that, as Yellow said, it's entirely contextual.

(I know that only looking at last years isn't a fair representation but I can't be arsed looking at loads of lineups )

The source that said Led Zeppelin were headlining and that Radiohead were their back up? No chance in hell.

Love the NBA... who do you support

Well i was wondering if Alt-J were back where would they fit in...

I doubt they'll be back, but if they did return I reckon 4th.

The Heat! I remember seeing Shaq play for them when I was about 11 and I've followed them ever since what about you?

Also, what a game that was Friday night against the Warriors (despite the loss), they're on a real roll lately. Stephen Curry is playing out of his skin.
