Arctic Monkeys, no question.

[kemosabe]

AM and Bombay Bicycle club (nobody of note is contesting them)

[Gucci Piggy]

Arctic Monkeys by a fucking mile. And they're not even up against a proper NME headliner.

Whoever goes to see Arctic Monkeys near the front is going to have a dreadful experience

people who stand at the front waiting for one act annoy me at festivals... like i dont mind you actually standing there but at least clap along and get involved with the the bands throughout the day the rest of us are enjoying!

Also people who go for one song and dont get invovled in anything else annoys me too... why are you ruining OMAM for me or why are you ruining White Lies for me (my two most memorable incidents of this)

Arctic Monkeys are gonna flood the field.

I think this will rival (what I heard) about Kings Of Leon in 2009. That the field was packed due to no strong alternative.

Arctic monkeys crowd is going to be ridiculous.

[DaveElNino]

Kings of Leon were up against Faith No More and Billy Talent. One of the worst clash decisions I've ever had to make - though I think in seeing FNM I made the right one (though BT were apparently on form that night).

[Matt42]

I remember hearing Kings Of Leon's crowd was so big, a friend of mine was stood behind the sound tower with barely any elbow room.

Arctic Monkeys vs Nero and whoever is given an FR slot. Nero won't pull big numbers at all.

Arctics could break a record here... 40 broken ribs?

[CHRLY]

So how much time will it be in-between the end of BBC's set and the start of Arctics?

Palmas are apparently headlining FR and finishing before. Pendulum DJ set is also likely to finish before because of Nero.

That crowd will be huge.

That day will pretty much just be an Arctics gig with loads of support bands
