Aech Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I fear for the undercard if it ends up being Foos, AM and Kendrick, would be an incredible set of headliners tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love them and they seem very suited to festivals and I believe they're in Europe at the right time. I don't think they'd be a great 1Xtra headliner, but would deffo go down very well on the NME. I really hope both them and Bada$$ are there. Brockhampton are my main band/artist I wanna see at Reading this year so I'm really hoping they get announced. Mid-NME stage would be perfect for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think they have a chance of playing? Love Darlia, glad to see they’re finally back making music, I can fully imagine they’ll have a slot somewhere on the line up, not very high up I don’t imagine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be at Green Man and probably EotR respectively, and I know there’s sometimes crossover but it’s stuff that could easily be at R+L anyway, whereas I don’t think either of those suit at all anymore. Yeah I did think that they probably wouldn’t be booked as they aren’t really the sort of band at the fest these days, but Cigarettes After Sex subbed the FR last year and they’re pretty similar to Big Thief atleast. It could happen, but you're right probably not. Edited January 28, 2018 by TheWaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking Blackpool bands, I'd take Strange Bones anyday, they are fucking mental What have you heard about the lead singer out of interest? I know he's had lots of problems with mental health and it has been one of the reasons the band still haven't released a full album (Petals was a mini-album).

CAS don’t strike me as out of place at R+L and their entire fan base must be teens with Tumblr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was possibly a misplaced comment on my behalf. A friend of mine had just mentioned about them going on hiatus for a year and a lot of fans had issues with the lead singer being a dick at gigs etc. At face value, I think their music is excellent, but haven't ever seen them live to comment on it myself.

IF that sziget announcement is true I'd agree, but I highly doubt it is at this point... 51 minutes ago, Johnnieunders said: Just dropping my first post here, personally feel now that when the announcement eventually drops it has to be huge and we should know the majority of he bill because what else could justify the wait? I'm aware that the line up a few years ago used to drop around March time, so I'm guessing we will get 2 "big" headliners and imo they should be foos and arctics although I can't see arctics doing it now unfortunately. I'm either expecting we'll get one of these 3 possibilities at this point: - Headliners Brits Week, Full Lineup in March as per usual - What we normally get in Feb (like all the headliners and a bunch of acts with day splits, but no stage splits) followed by normal announcement in march - We just get everything Brits week in one go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edduk98 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Twitter is going to be lit af when AM are announced for Sziget (if they are that is) and dont get on the R&L line up haha! R.I.P fan girls. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 @dentalplan been looking at a few acts playing European festivals around August and one band I would absolutely love to see would be Cancer, but again, I suppose they’re highly doubtful right? If they were to be booked I could see them mid to high FR or early NME even but probably wouldn’t be booked would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
