The inevitable post-announcement poll

[kaosmark2]

Had to be done.

[Dukeeyyy]

I picked option 1 (on Q1 + 2) simply based on the bands i'm seeing not the whole lineup

[lharris92]

as with the last few years there are several bands that make me

but this year time will tell whether i'm going or not

[jammy2211]

Really wanna go but already spent £700 on festivals... being sensible. So far...

[thetime]

Gone a bit positive.

Yes, but I think it's weaker than usual.(especially nme)

Yes, although im a bit disapopinted.

No chance of a sell out.

[Chinaski_]

Wanna see NIN but if they play at a European one with a better line up and cheaper, I'll probably do that instead. They'd most likely headline too.

My answers were;

No, I think it's toilet and need to express that REPEATEDLY!

Maybe, see what further announcements bring.

No chance of a sell out

Nine Inch Nails, Biffy, Green Day, Editors, Brand New, Deftones, System of a Down, Alt-J, and White Lies all with no clashes... That's enough to sell it to me!

Don't know too many of the other bands though... NME seems particularly weak, but that might just be my ignorance.

Also, Editors are shockingly low down!

NME is absolutely ridiculously bad, they've neglected their main audience, put a massive exaggeration on rap and dance and the bits that are quite good just happen not to be bands I like (though I can see they're not bad bookings). It'll sell okay but no chance of a sell out, it's definitely weaker than normal.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Death Grips should play NME..

It'd sort it all out.

[Luke Routledge]

I think the only band I am watching in NME is City and Colour

[jammy2211]

Which ones are you doing?

[Gaucho]

Green Day, SOAD, Biffy Clyro, NIN, Foals, Eminem (nostalgia), Editors, White Lies and Chase & Status will do for me.

Very dissapointed with the NME, had some great bands on it last year, such as The Hives.

I think the festival will sell better than last years, can see the likes of Eminem, A$AP Rocky, C&S, Skrillex, A$AP bringing in a new crowd to the festival.

[Asdaprice]

Yes for city and colour. My sauce is telling me linkin park secret set nme too

[LondonTom]

I am on the fence

Yes, but I think it's weaker than usual.

NME Stage is a bit w*nk compared to last year but the main stage has its moments of glory.

Maybe, I'll decide soon

More based on other I guess, I reckon there is enough to part with 200 quid.

Maybe, might sell out after further announcements/closer to the time

Yeah I think it'll be the summer again, just to not being that wow and people not having money to spend on teenagers still.

Once again, Festival Republic have made the mistake of putting a few bands way too high up the bill. The Lumineers being a glaring example. And Hadouken! 6th on the Main Stage? That's shocking, I don't think anyone has cared about them since 2007.

Also, and I know they're pretty popular on here but, have Deftones had a surge in popularity over the past four years or something? They played 5th in 2009 and moved up to 4th in 2011, but I'd have had Frank Turner swapped round with them.

Also not convinced about Foals playing 3rd, but then I wasn't about Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines, The National, The Raconteurs, etc in that slot so I dunno.

I want to watch all those, so thats a damn good line up really, 20 acts already. Theres some other acts I need to check out that I know nothing about. And im sure there will be more added that I like, I mean theres the whole of the Lock Up yet.

[mrtourette]

I would be interested in watching Green Day, White Lies and Azealia Banks. Normally I'd be excited about Deftones but after watching them sink on the main stage the last two times they've played so they'd be something to dio if there was nothing else on. Mild interest in Johnny Marr and Editors.

Thats a shame with what you've said re Deftones, saw them on tour last month and they've never been better, also their main stage slot at Download in 2010 was very good
