Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[PDAD]

I doubt it. They didn't have a huge crowd last time and I'm sure people were saying the same thing about ATDI last year, who had a tiny crowd. I can't imagine many GCSE students getting excited about NIN playing.

Man, that '07 NIN set was phenomenal. The Happiness in Slavery mix-in, Wish, the perfect blend of the light show into Only....

a friend of a friend works at radio 1 and said eminem and green day before eminem was confirmed, so personally i'm pretty sure it'll be green day as the last headliner...

[festivallad90]

and i probably shouldn't have said that haha

That would be another headliner who haven't sold out their own show, though I guess from Facebook posts they seem to be the most requested headliner.

As good as they were I don't recall NIN having a particularly large crowd last time, but then again it was nearly six years ago. People have commented about the massive crowd but that's not how I remember it.

It's a NIN thread now damn it!

[kaosmark2]

The nin crowd was tiny at Leeds, whilst they were the highlight of the weekend for me, I walked up to lost prophets towards the end, and the crowd dispearsed so much that I walked up to the second row. Would love to see them again, the 2009 shows were great (I missed soni but can understand why people were disappointed)

[kaosmark2]

Well they don't seem to have a thread designated for their discussion...

If Green Day was to happen, and NIN were to headline the NME opposite Biffy, that'd be two headliners I don't like, one I do like but am already seeing, and one awesome NME headliner up against the only headliner I like. With Alt-J to go up against one of the others. Great.

[festivallad90]

it's alright, no one will believe you anyway

[Chinaski_]

That's because every thread in existence should be devoted to NIN.

Exactly right..'reform hype' could play a part in increasing the crowd size but i still cant imagine many younger people will be fussed. If they do play on the Biffy day though, it will make sense in increasing day ticket sales for that day from their niche audience.

The thing if it is them is a lot of R&L's crowd might might prefer to see them there. R&L have been calling for them for years and you have a lot of disappointed fans every year. I'm in no doubt that they'll play it again as fi you get them for a secret set, they've agreed to play again. My thought was next year, purely down to the Emirates Gig but I guess as well as Biffy's gig, it's a different booker, a different way of looking at things and the fact that GD would be on a bill much more expensive than the single gig but with a lot more bands.

[Gucci Piggy]

What dance stage headliner would you see, if any on the sunday night against Biffy?

[dart]

I pray to god Green Day aren't the final headliner, they are fucking atrocious.

[thewayiam]

I dont particularly think it'll be a great booking, with their new albums being shit, but will be popular. As well as my friend's friend, efests has had info and the SOAD quote fits, looks extremely likely now.

[Gucci Piggy]

Who would you like to be able to see if Biffy and NIN were the headers that day.

Also that guy who 1st claimed the NIN info has said today for what it's worth, he thinks they are a sub.

I think you may have misunderstood my post I love Biffy and NIN, and dislike Green Day and Eminem, so I wouldn't be seeing anyone else on the Biffy/NIN night.
