Lineup 2016

[justanothername]

That's exactly why but yeah idk Imo I just don't see ADTR at Leeds next year

Well unless Download book them again I don't see which festival other festival they could play with the new album so R&L seems like the logical choice

[oneoftherest]

Bands don't have to play a festival every year, it could happen but in my opinion I don't see it, I'd love it to happen though, I love ADTR

[Matt42]

You me at six will be given a sub spot one day but I reckon they will stall at that, and never headline.

[oneoftherest]

Depends on the next record I think, they'll either skip sub and headline straight away or stall at third I think

[DomDom1984]

Does anyone know how the YM@6 tour did? I know their Hydro gig seen quite a lot of seating shut off because they couldn't sell it.

But bands do tend to play festivals when they release new albums. I'd say that they're quite likely in my opinion.

Why is it outlandish? ADTR playing 3rd is reasonable for next year given that they're touring then which I think they will be

I agree with you here, but the post I was responding to suggested it was outlandish.

the crowd for twin Atlantic wasn't that big at Leeds Last year.

Plus, ADTR will play third down next year, if they're around.

Taking out the headliners and subs. They were not far off Kooks/Royal Blood for the biggest crowd of the tent last year

You me at six will be given a sub spot one day but I reckon they will stall at that, and never headline.

Tbh I think they should have got the sub slot last year, people have said Macklemore's exclusivity cost meant he got the slot and I buy that. I think them and Foals will be considered strong up and coming subs after their next albums, hence my thinking that they might get a co headline chance.

Not far off my thinking but

• I'm not so sure Royal Blood will be back again a year after their exclusive booking
• I think TDCC might 'do a Vaccines' and appear a lot lower on festival line ups that what we all expect

Edited March 18, 2015 by DGrant261

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I actually thought that about Two Door and considered having The 1975 sub instead of them but meh.

Fall Out Boy

Courteeners

Tame Impala

Muse

The 1975

Royal Blood

Foals

Weezer

Perhaps not necessarily the right days for each act but I think those slots would work but a lot depends on reception to next albums

[DGrant261]

Fall Out Boy

Tame Impala

Enter Shikari

Weezer

Hate to be a pessimist (As I do love that line up), but I think the chances of these bands returning in these slots (Esp. Weezer) is unlikely.

• I kinda got the sense it was this year or never for Weezer/Interpol/Placebo
• FOB could sub but personally I'd have though they'd be more likely to have done it this year
• I don't think Enter have got as big as they needed to of the back of their last album to sub, their 3rd crowd last year wasn't massive
• Don't think Tame will be considered big enough to be NME headliners

I don't understand that if they both played the same position in 2013 why Foals are being considered bump up to headliner but Fall Out Boy can't be? They are the one's with a 2nd big tour under their belts.

True, but I think if they wanted FOB they'd have gone for them this year.

[Gucci Piggy]

Muse vs. Royal Blood isn't happening.

Royal Blood on NME Stage also isn't happening.

Because Melvin wants foals to headline. Hes been doing his best to make them seem bigger than they are for years. What part of this are you not understanding? It's been going on over a week now.

[DomDom1984]

The idea of Royal Blood in the tent at this stage is pretty funny.

Bloc Party to FR would be an absolutely monsterous drop, and thus won't happen.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Not sure I could live in a world where Twin Atlantic play third down

[Gucci Piggy]

Bloc Party played Earl's Court on the back of their last album and headlined Latitude. They'd be a huge NME headliner, never mind FR. Even if their new album sold 0 copies they'd pack the FR beyond belief.

[DomDom1984]

I can see Twin Atlantic playing that far up a bill at a bit of a push, but I think it'd probably be part of a weaker lineup.

[justanothername]

Can we make it rule that you can't suggest co headliners without hard evidence of it happening next year

[TenInchToenaiIs]

just imagining the marketing department ringing up the band and the band saying how many have we sold and the marketing department goes "zero lol"

[Matt42]

Coming from someone who silently thought tame impala would play third down this year... Twin Atlantic third down at reading would not happen unless they got considerably bigger.

They will be booked much bigger slots at T than reading so there's no way to compare.
