No Paramore is a bit surprising tho. Maybe BST for them

They'll do 2018 I think. Autumn 2017 album release, winter arena tour, then announced for R&L in the Feb when the lineup poster comes out.

like everybody else, certainly wasn't expecting Muse. i'm sure they'll go down a storm and it did seem weird that they totally missed out R/L this time 'round, but with no new album or anniversary of an album it's a bit of a peculiar booking

when was the last time there wasn't a new headliner? must've been a while back. i suspect one of that current trio is wrong (although if not it'll probably sell better than it has for years if they've done well with the undercard)

They even said three weeks ago that 2017 was a few US fests that they missed out on and then just work on their Pokemon hip hop album. So yeah we were all within our rights to not expect them.

I kinda think that's opened a door back up to Royal Blood and alt-J sharing a night alongside the two TBC headliners - and that'd be my prediction now - but as you say, it'd sell incredibly so maybe they've just foregone their self imposed (2005 aside) tradition for a year.

Might be nothing but somebody shared this on Twitter they said it was on guns and roses Facebook page... I've asked for a link but nothing yet

yep Muse, Kasabian, Royal Blood/Alt-J looks about as Reading/Leeds a set of headliners as you could get in 2017, but if they've got Eminem and Royal Blood as a sub or something then it's mega strong

This has done the rounds on the Internet for weeks, it's almost certainly fake, especially as R&L are over a month after their last date before that.

It's not mega strong lol. RB are a sub, nothing less and nothing more. Getting Eminem given his price would be impressive but it will work out fine for them on weekend sellout.

It is mega strong. Royal Blood are going to be your obsession this coming year aren't they, just like Foals were for this year's festival.

I just don't think R+L would risk that, seems a big gamble, the album could bomb and then they'd be stuck with a dud headliner. I think they'd be a really solid sub for Muse though.

Yeah that was my first thought. Eminem seems like he'd make more sense at V next year if he were to do either.

No they aren't, because I don't dislike RB :p. Both are in the position of not being big enough though and a subbing position at another English festival proved that.

You love RB which is why you think it's mega strong but realistically it's a band that did very well on debut that are yet to bring out either a newer album or show signs of heavily upgraded dates. I'm not saying that won't but you you are basing it on what might happen, just like everyone on here expected another bands album to crazy and it went the opposite.

I don't love Royal Blood in the slightest

Don't be so against the idea they are getting a slot that matches them then.

Not a great headline trio for me personally if it is Muse, Eminem and Kasabian but very strong nonetheless. 

Would be odd though as it's not since 2009 (I believe anyway) that a new headliner hasn't been brought through and can't remember/work out if there has been a time when there's been three headliners who have all headlined the festival before.

2009 had three headliners new to R+L but not new to headlining major festivals. That's what they're concerned with as there have been many years where it's been like that eg. 2011, 2012, 2015.

Think the only one where all acts had headlined before was 2005, and that time two of the headliners hadn't done so since the 80's.

I'm not naive enough to think they'd be flat out rejecting mega headliners to secure new acts in headline spots but I still have a feeling new ones will be involved next year.

I'd question RATM selling stadiums out, their Finsbury Park gig was free.

Didn't Rage Against The Machine give away free ticks to this as a thanks to the fans for getting them to Christmas No.1? I don't think it should be used to indicate their size. 

[oneoftherest]

RATM are headliners.

Yes and know it should.

I agree, I'm not disputing that. The debate was 2008 in the strongest headliners year.
