The Story So Far

[Gucci Piggy]

Swerve City instead of Silk City please.

[Mattymooz]

J Hus 5th down?

I think Stormzy and Travis Scott would swap in that line up, but I don't think Stormzy will play all personally. It's a pretty good go though.

Can't see HAIM returning again but with Wolf Alice seemingly set to headline NME, it's a bit of a sausage festival in the upper reaches. Especially when Paramore don't end up there at all and it's Imagine Dragons instead shouting "radioactive" in your face for 75 mins.

It's 2018 we genderless now

If there was to be a closing set on the NME, would it be on the day of the weakest NME headliner? As I assume if I was doing a prediction I'd push everyone a slot back and put the closing set in, but is it usually after a weak headliner or just random or what?

Aside from it being unlikely to be after a dance act, it's just random really. Neither of the two closing sets in recent years have been after the weakest headliner.

I hope you know this is too good.

Bowling for Soup for Pit headliner is a pretty good shout. HMLTD on the main stage would be awful tho.

Tbh I still think they have retired closing sets. It never really made sense imo anyways, if you cant organise a lineup to avoid 2 similar artists clashing then really wtf are you doing lol

Won't be nearly this good, still I'll be very disappointed if Paramore aren't there.

I guess if there are a lot of suitable NME headliners about they'll throw one on.

[Andre91]

Pit / Lock Up headliners: 

Glassjaw, Killswitch Engage & The Story So Far (or The Wonder Years, they have a new album out).

Huh it’s one of Limp Bizkits biggest songs why would anyone enlightened enough to use them as a punchline not know that?

[mttJ]

We normally get a surprise 3rd slot so this year I'm going with Broco. Have no real idea about the lower placements so mainly going off other peoples slots.

That Shikari/Foos clash is killing me - but I think this is a pretty good effort and Vaccines-ADTR-RB would be beautiful for me

You never watched Kerrang! TV for more than half an hour in your childhood?

Yeah but I never saw any Limp Bizkit song other than Rolling and Break Stuff (thought I remembered them having a song called that and just searched it on YouTube and I remember that video, too). Just checked out Nookie and I have no idea what that song is. I only really watched music TV between the years of like 2008-2010 though so maybe they'd cooled on Limp Bizkit by then.

Would love this, main stage very strong. Bowling for Soup in the pit would be a lot of fun.

Don't forget "It's My Way! My way or the highway!"

I must admit, Limp Bizkit are a bit of a guilty pleasure. Wouldn't mind a secret set or something.

They were pretty banging when they played in 2015...
