Royal Blood, Kendrick, Foos are headlining. Royal Blood are headlining outright, not coheadlining.

Thirty Seconds to Mars, Dua Lipa, The Hunna, J Hus, Courteeners, Don Broco, SZA, Wolf Alice, Nothing But Thieves, PVRIS, Travis Scott, Krept & Konan, Faithless have all been booked.

Yep that's a completely believable lot. I see more in this than any other source that's come forward in the last couple of weeks. Probably because I was about to post a prediction with 13 of those 16 acts so it makes sense to believe it.

Faithless is weird tho. "Faithless (DJ set)" surely?

I'm not sure on the specifics, I was just given a list of names and it just said 'Faithless', but I'd guess it's a DJ set.

This is now my personal speculation - I have no idea who is playing where other than the main stage headliners.

Friday - Royal Blood / Thirty Seconds to Mars. NME headliner - The Hunna.

Saturday - Kendrick Lamar / Dua Lipa. NME headliner - Wolf Alice.

Sunday - Foo Fighters / Courteeners. NME headliner - Travis Scott.

Dua Lipa at R&L rather than zombie V tho?

Whatever V Festival comes back as after its death. We don't know it's name yet. Might not even come back.

We do get some surprises though. Would be a statement to have a woman who is fair crushing it at the moment in a high up place. Admittedly more pop than I've ever seen a main stage R+L booking but pop singers play the smaller stages all the time so maybe not so out of place.

edit: forgot about Daphne & Celeste. I ain't got no alibi.

Dua Lipa into Kendrick would make a lot of sense to be fair.

[dentalplan]

I think given that Thirty Seconds to Mars are in Germany on Wednesday and Hungary on Thursday; it's unlikely they'll be at Reading or Leeds on Friday (maybe at a stretch Leeds Friday/Reading Sunday but I don't expect as much) so I think they'll sub whoever's headlining Saturday at Reading - be it Kendrick or Foos.

Anyone know if they're doing the ambassador thing this year- is it not open until after lineup?

slightly un reading related but does anyone have any predictions for today’s second 2000 trees announcement?

Just makes some of those acts, particularly catfish, a little bit more unlikely for reading. Still a good chance a lot of them could appear though

If it makes any of those less likely then that’s not a bad thing, what an underwhelming line up that is. Apart from chemical brothers, friendly fires and the Amazons there isn’t much there that I would want at Reading. CATB and George Ezra headlining feels very weak, thought they would have got one of the gallagher brothers in. Went last year and it’s such a nice festival and location but I won’t return this year. Hoping for Reading to drop a blinder now!

Fake I'd imagine. 

But just seen this on Twitter.

I’d say that’s fake based purely on Arctic Monkeys logo. Their social media and other announcements are using a new style logo for them

[Alfrancis1989]

Would really appreciate The Transplants or Marilyn Manson playing. Just saying

Cant see Marilyn Manson playing as he is at DL. Early summer so doubts he will be around late summer. Would be good to see though

[MIchael_scarn]

Lost so much sleep for this announcement at 9 only to realise I've been fooled smh
