Lineup 2015

[GodlikeYeezus]

Think bmth are very likely with the new album and how well they were received last time out.

[#FreeComTruise]

Think Palma Violets will be back with a new album. Could see Peace headlining NME.

[Tobieski]

Palma violets and Peace again? Won't that be like four in a row for those guys?

[#FreeComTruise]

Probably, can't see them doing V though. Peace maybe.

[dentalplan]

BMTH's album is scheduled for late next year and I assume that big Wembley Arena gig was their last show for a while. Probably won't be there.

[kaosmark2]

I'd like to think Placebo could still be booked, but I'm not really sure they've gained many new fans in the past 10 years. Would today's teenagers care about them at all?

[the wonderwhy]

Dunno but they're doing early fests and I think they did late fests last year so probably wont be around.

[dentalplan]

They do fests all summer every year don't they? I think if they're going a little more alternative to scoop the Soni crowd then they could be booked.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah seems they did last year actually. Scrap that then

[kurtwba]

The pixies would be a a good booking my personal opinion, sub maybe? Wouldn't know what headliner to place then under.

[dentalplan]

They'll probably be your RES announcement.

The pixies would be a a good booking my personal opinion, sub maybe? Wouldn't know what headliner to place then under.

Think they'll be on the backburner for another few years. Tour over the past year was pretty extensive.

Ideas for 2015:

Fall out boy - new album, surely they're big enough to sub now?

Royal blood - around 4th down on main stage?

The wombats -new album coming soon, no idea where they would be placed

Catfish and the bottlemen -album out after R&L 2014, NME 3rd?

We are the ocean - new single and I'm guessing album to follow

The vaccines - new music coming, sub?

Would Lorde suit the demographic?

Hozier

Iggy Azalea - NME sub?

Haim - NME sub? 4th main?

Alt J - NME headline perhaps

Circa waves - mid NME?

[Bisque]

Lorde could be a potential NME headliner.

[TheSilence]

Lorde could be a potential NME headliner.

I'd say at the moment she's an NME sub. Depends how she does this year in my eyes.

[Matt42]

Apparently she only asks for main stage slots but that's not confirmed.

[Tobieski]

Where's that come from?

[#FreeComTruise]

Where's that come from?

"apparently" "not confirmed" so Matt's head

[Matt42]

Where's that come from?

I put "that's not confirmed" because the person who I heard that off is not very reliable at all.

Main reason it came up is because in discussion I suggested her for the second stage at T and apparently that was a preposterous claim.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Wait that wasn't reported by anyone credible, just you?

[Bisque]

Lorde could potentially be a brilliant alternative for the younger ones up against Metallica \m/

[kingcrawler]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Jamie T's down for Sunday at Reading on here which would mean he wouldn't be headlining NME opposite Metallica if the dates on their website are right.

[Matt42]

Wait that wasn't reported by anyone credible, just you?

No someone genuinely did tell me that, but it's not a 'source' which is why I didn't state it was.

basically they said that her team made sure she was playing main stages at every US festival she played, and that the same applied for the (few) EU ones she did in 2014

[Gucci Piggy]

Matt why do you continue to claim you have sources who know things when every time you do it you end up completely wrong?

Edit: That is still a "source", Matt. Anything can be a source.

[DMCJ2]

Didn't lorde play the Second stage at big weekend?

Also anyone think there's any chance of future islands? I thought I saw them get announced for a fest in Europe in August but I can't find anything about that so might've misread

[Matt42]

Matt why do you continue to claim you have sources who know things when every time you do it you end up completely wrong?

Edit: That is still a "source", Matt. Anything can be a source.

This isn't really a source though, if I was claiming a source i'd say

Lorde won't play or Lorde is playing

all I'm saying is i've been told she specifically wants MainStage slots at places she plays.
