Lower stages acts.....

[kev1664]

I could well imagine some of these artist mentioned playing the main stage, pure love first act on one day, cage the elephant moving to a main stage 6/5 th slot. Everything everything 7/8 top. Of monster and men 6/5th top main. Miles Kane 5/4 top main.

My current thinking is that Jake Bugg & Foals will headline the NME along with Alt-J.

I'm not really clued up as to what kind of acts headline the FR.

I'd like to see Sum 41 headlining the Lock Up, providing they aren't clashing with an awesome Main headliner. If they performed Does This Look Infected In Full, I think I would choose them over whoever was on the main.

Hoping for Lucy Rose very early on the NME, she was fantastic on tour a few weeks ago, great voice.

Cage the Elephant for me

Someone was suggested Rise Against and Sum 41 to me i see them both as middle of the road Main Stage. I would love to see them both again just not in the NME Tent.

Hopefully some of the up and coming American bands like Drowners, Skaters and Haim will be playing. Reckon Drowners and Skaters could play on FR and Haim could open the NME or maybe a couple of slots higher.

I never understand why people make a big deal about American acts. People want American hippity hoppity on the 1xtra stage, people want American bands on the FR what happened to just wanting decent acts regardless of where they come from?

Well I imagine most of the English bands on the NME and FR, I'll have already seen and I'm only 17, whereas with the smaller American bands I'll have seen hardly any.

I don't think the desire for US acts is down to quality but rather scarcity. For example Fidlar hadn't even played in the UK when they were booked for this year but bands around them such as Palma Violets and Savages should have been well-known to anyone with their finger on the pulse due to having toured and being hotly-tipped. Sometimes is nice to have bands that are unknown or not many people have had the chance to see amongst the usual stuff.
