http://www.punktastic.com/ will announce lineup long before NME ever will. Radio 1 has already revealed a headliner and with so many self confirmations, it's hardly exclusive is it.

Considering buying tickets anyway, but an appearance from TLSP will clinch it for me.

Looks like the "exclusive" announcement has already gone a miss! What a shame.

Why do nme.com keep claiming everything they report on is "exclusive"???

well me & my friend have bought our tickets for leeds :]were probs staying in the nme tent, for manics, cant wait!but the killers, no offence right but who frankly quite gives a toss about them?they have some good songs on their albums, i'll give them that, but at the end of the day they are just another bland boring band trying to be rock and roll but failing miserably.at least manics actually have something to go for them, like the fact that they didnt call it quits when richey disappeared or maybe the fact that their songs actually have some get up and go about them or maybe the poetic beauty of their lyrics which the killers most certainly dont have.in fact i would rather see franz ferdinand rather than the killers i think, and i absolutely fucking hate them, they have also been blessed with the talentless gene.manic street preachers all the way :)can i have a reviews job in your mag now nme?=]
