What is Khalid? 

he's a newish R@B artist who has I put him in NME cause he's subbing Bruno mars for bst next summer so if he's around he would be a likely reading booking he might not be that high in the order but a very strong booking

Oh no it was just a joke cos everyone always quotes people's predictions and bolds the acts they'd see, but your prediction was already written in bold

I like Arctic Monkeys, Stormzy, Tame Impala, Kendrick Lamar, Vampire Weekend and honestly that's about it. Think it'd be a naff lineup but then again I expect it to be a naff lineup.

Stop killing me with those Kendrick clashes boi.

I don’t think Schoolboy Q is about to headline NME personally, as good as that would be. His stature hasn’t really changed that much since playing middle of the bill in ‘14.

I think he'd be about second or third down the NME right now, That Part seems to have lifted his profile at least a little bit.

Maybe but I don't think it put him on the map any more than the likes of Collard Greens and Man of the Year did previously. Either way, I don't quite think they'd rush to book him for a slot like that though, with trap and grime a bit more attractive for placings like that.

Yeah tbf I wanted to re-shuffle the NME headliners to avoid the clash but it seemed most sensible the way I had it, as annoying as it'd be.

And fair on Schoolboy Q. Wasn't feeling my previous NME headline picks (Jungle and Friendly Fires) and couldn't really think of anyone to replace them with other than Vampire Weekend (I think Shikari will do Download and can't really think of any dance acts who are the right size atm).

Yeah I've seen some people predict Future for that slot which may be more sensible? Don't really know enough about him to say.

Me neither to be honest, Future's a weird fit for R+L - he's pretty big but I bet he'd be terrible on the main stage. Travis Scott is the only one I can think of that would probably be best suited to the slot but some others might come to the fore later on.

Chainsmokers are probably the right size to headline NME imo if it's to be a dance act.

Yeah Travis Scott could be a good shout tbh if they went down that route.

Reckon Chainsmokers might be a bit big for it? Think they're in a similar place now to where Macklemore was in 2014 (might be wrong I know naff all about them) where we were all expecting him to headline NME and he obviously ended up subbing main. Then again I guess he could still have headlined NME if the lineup wasn't so weak.

Been expecting them to sub V or something since the rumours came about that they'd be around late Summer.

I dunno. They have one Ally Pally date not sold out, whereas Flume sold it out pretty quickly as a vaguely comparable 'dance' headliner, and I'd be lying if I said I thought they were bigger than Skrillex and deadmau5 when they headlined the tent. I guess people might just be cooling on them.

[JayBeeis]

I reckon the headlinerd will be:

QOTSA 

Foo's

Kendrick

Clean Bandit played 6th down main at V this year (same slot as James Arthur) and subbed JP at Glasto (same slot as Father John Misty and London Grammar). They get a lot of radio play etc but for some reason it doesn't seem to translate into big festival slots. Defo won't be playing 3rd down main.

been thinking about what you said here, it does seem odd that they play so low down at festivals considering how successful they are. Well aware that not everything is about sales, but just a quick check tells me their debut album went gold, and they've had several multi platinum, number 1 singles.

With a new album potential coming out this year, surely they'll start to move up festival slots soon? I guess maybe not third down main, but perhaps NME headliner? Or subbing NME at the least? Couldn't see them being booked much lower than that now.

I'd buy a ticket to that. Plenty I would want to see on the Friday and Sunday. Only Foos on the Saturday but I can usually rely on the Lock Up / Pit to fill my day with at least a couple of bands I'm into.

Huh I didnt realise they hadn't actually released a second album yet. I assumed they had one out when that Rockabye song was everywhere. Guess that maybe explains why they didn't move up lineups much this year. If they do release an album before next Summer then them headlining NME could be a shout. I remember predicting them for that slot for a bit this year (before their low-ish slots at Glasto and V had been announced).

I'd swap ADTR and Catfish. Reckon Foos would have the heaviest undercard of those headliners, and with Royal Blood obviously being the worst ticket seller of the three I think having Catfish below them would boost day ticket sales more than ADTR.

Why does Zach De la Rocha get mentioned so often? Released ODAAL years ago but I can't see he's got any solo material in the pipeline? Just wishful hoping?

yeah mainly wishful thinking on my part. it was said that he'd have a solo album released in early 2017 but obviously that never happened. I was hoping it'd got postponed for whatever reason and was still going to be released and then tour it next year, but who knows. would be a brilliant booking though.

oh yeah dunno if you've seen this but it came out last year too so he's definitely recorded stuff
