That Shikari / RB clash would be awful for me. Apart from that seems realistically and would sell me a ticket.

Just swap them and pixies and you're sorted, you're welcome

Did the first 2 stages but I cbb to do the rest for you lol

Lots of weird stuff going on further down the lineup.

- High Tyde supported Fickle Friends on their tour this year but they get the same slot here?

- The Amazons 5th down? I know they were given a stupidly small slot last year, but imo they havent grown last year so I wouldnt bump them up anywhere near that amount (like I'd have them maybe 5th down on the NME?)

- Darlia on first? They played 3rd up at Community last year, which I know is a smaller fest but even so they are probs at least 2nd on.

- The Big Moon third on? Werent they 3rd on the NME this year? And its not like they have an album or anything to give them a big boost

- Mac Demarco 3rd down NME? Surely he'd sub that stage at this point

Huh how do you suggest Darlia would play second up but The Big Moon with a widely acclaimed and Mercury nominated album don't deserve to be one slot higher than that? Darlia don't even have an album despite threatening one four years ago.

You're right that Mac is being underestimated but he'd be in legit contention to headline NME at this point. But he's not gonna - he's been touring the UK around R+L the past two years and didn't play so I don't think they're that interested in booking him. He'd go down well tho.

Aye it's a bit confusing as to why Mac has never played. Seems like he'd be a no brainer and would undoubtedly go down very well.

[MIchael_scarn]

I always thought Mac was NME headliner size but no one at all seems to predict him any higher than sub NME so I just played it safe. 

Definitely have messed up the early bookings as it's hard to predict where people sort of place around there. 

Think I meant redfaces instead of darlia and yeah big moon could be higher looking back. Shambles really smh

Huh TIL. I knew The Big Moon had an album out but I hadn't heard anything about it lol. Will check it out then if its that good

Tbf that's why you shouldn't worry about it. The early positions this year were ridiculous and nobody would've predicted the likes of Vant that high up or Judas and Pins on that stage at all. So don't listen to anyone because we're all firing in the dark anyway.

[Guest]

I know I've been saying that Royal Blood will at least coheadline, but I'm starting to think that the headliners might be Foos, Kendrick & Arcade Fire. Can't decide if I think a Paramore / Royal Blood (coheadline) is more likely than Arcade Fire. Right now I'm leaning towards Arcade Fire with Royal Blood as a 'special guest' sub under Foos. With that in mind, here's my current prediction.

Friday

NME: Chase & Status, J Hus, Wilkinson (live), Dave, SZA, BROCKHAMPTON, Sigrid, Pale Waves, Spring King, Darlia, Milk Teeth, The 1975 (secret set)
Dance: Hannah Wants
FR: Liam Fray
Pit: Skindred
1xtra: A$AP Ferg

 

Saturday

Main: Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, All Time Low, Post Malone, Mastodon, Marmozets, Beartooth, Basement, Idles
NME: Jungle, Jack Garratt, The Internet, King Krule, DMA'S, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, The Amazons, Amber Run, Lucy Rose, The Night Café, Superfood
Dance: Steve Aoki, Krewella
FR: Peace, SWMRS
Lock Up: Sleeping With Sirens
1xtra: Joey Bada$$

 

Sunday

Main: Kendrick Lamar, Twenty One Pilots, Wolf Alice, Cage the Elephant, Bugzy Malone, Gogol Bordello, Alien Ant Farm, Arcane Roots, Astroid Boys
NME: Enter Shikari, Mac DeMarco, Death From Above, PVRIS, Tonight Alive, Creeper, Car Seat Headrest, Alvvays, Little Comets, The Big Moon, YONAKA, Muncie Girls
Dance: Gorgon City
FR: Half Moon Run, Public Service Broadcasting
Pit: Killswitch Engage
1xtra: AJ Tracey

Swap Shikari with Chase & Status and this would be a really great lineup. (Don't wanna miss Shikari and Arcade Fire are the only headliners I probably wouldn't bother watching lmao)

irrelevant issue but what font do they use for the smaller acts? @dentalplan   poster looked like the font was the one they use but whats it called? trying to make my poster as realistic as possible lol cheers

[DownboundTrain52]

Might sound weird but feel that giving Royal Blood anything below headline is selling them short at this stage. 

But then if they do significantly drop off on album three, booking them then to top could be seen as weak, perhaps? 

Not sure overall. Feel they deserve the chance.

I know this is a bit pedantic but you've got 1 too many acts on Friday Main Stage. Also the FR is too heavy. Apart from that it looks decent aye.

Couple of improvements imo:

- Get rid of Catfish. IMO I think they're more likely to hold off till next year when they have a new album and then coheadline (maybe with 1975?)

- Move Stormzy into the Catfish hole. I think he's probably big enough to sub (whereas cos of the coheadline you currently have him 3rd down). That would also solve the issue of too many acts that day if you bump everyone else up.

- Swap Wombats and Vampire Weekend. I think VW or Wolf Alice. I think that'd make more sens as, although they're technically all in the same slot they are higher up the lineup poster if they're on that day (and wombats are probs the weakest 3rd down out of the 3)

- Swap Sundara Karma with Post or Don Broco. Again, same reason as above. Getting rid of Stormzs would make that a logo slot, and Sundara are robs the weakest 4th down you have there

- Basement are not spelled Basemant

- Personally, I expect AJ Tracey and Dave will both be on the NME/main this year as they both subbed the 1xtra stage last year iirc. Personally I think FIDLAR will play NME too but thats not based on anything tbh

 

Other than shuffling around the placements a bit I think on the whole this looks pretty accurate tbh

I feel maybe the lower end of NME is a bit weak possibly? Might just be me I can't see The Blinders or Blackwaters mainly being that high up. I think Skindred are way more likely for the pit too. Dave, I'm expecting on the NME. Maybe in a similar slot where you put Counterfeit or Shura. Other than that, and a couple of the points already raised by others, it looks good

yeah youre right about the nme i would have had those two at the bottom with the full 10 acts or whatever but couldn't be bothered to put 10 in for each day and those 2 are just 2 of my favourite bands so wanted to include them haha cheers

[UndergroundSound]

UPDATE

(i left 1xtra because dont know enough about those acts and cba)

cheers for the feedback x

Anyone got a blank copy of this poster? I'm gonna do a quick poster now on the smaller one but would like to give a larger one like this a go at some point. Cheers in advance.

Just save the poster and delete our the names on MS Paint and fill the spaces with the b/g colour.
