Lineup 2018

[HeyPorter]

Long time loiterer who hasn’t skipped a page of this topic, the hype has finally got to me and have given in and signed up. Kendrick, Foos, FATM/Royal Blood seems hugely plausible.

imagine if the first place daft punk played after not performing in over ten years was bestival

I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but no, Bestival are not holding back a Daft Punk reunion.

Chemical Brothers headlined two years ago and The Black Keys aren't active.

Of course there are duos that could do it aside from Royal Blood but the point was the clue (perhaps unintentionally) has two references to Royal Blood titles in it as well as confirming it's a duo.

My first thought was Justice but they were booked to sub last year before pulling out so that'd seem pretty weak. MGMT have been suggested by others but again seem weak.

I think it alludes to them not playing. Obviously not 100%. I feel were finding excuses to cancel our predictions - be confident! Meaning someone else, Florence?

REALLY!!??

[R Shah]

I know its very speculative but my final prediction:

AM, Kendrick, Smashing Pumpkins

30STM, Courteeners and Royal Blood as subs.

‘dark’ and ‘strangers’ aren’t exactly out of the ordinary though, especially with their cool rock guy aesthetic.

Mistaken For Strangers, Dark Side of the Gym. Cool rock guys also.

Aye I don't even think it is going to be Royal Blood (unless we find out tomorrow they're not at R&L), and I was ignoring the potential references to Royal Blood in those quotes but thought it was worth mentioning seeing as one of the main problems with festivalsarecool's info is that it doesn't have Royal Blood in it.

There isn't a chance in hell that Smashing Pumpkins will play R&L.

Tbf we have one person saying that they didn’t have a headliner booked until last month and another saying they booked their last headliner days ago. Suggests barrels are being scraped.

but hey, it has people talking....

talking...

I can understand how they end up scraping barrels sometimes (2016 for a start) but they seemed to have so many options this year - and still do, given that most of these options haven't been snapped up elsewhere - that something like a Fall Out Boy headline would be tragic.

What evidence is there that arctic mo keys are 100%? feel like there’s a bit of sarcasm goin around xx

It’s Simple Plan

[TheWaters]

Not that anyone here gives a single shit but I've just been talking to Danny Graft from The Manor and he's confirmed they aren't playing. Only mentioning as I've seen a few people copy me and put them on the 1Xtra again in predictions.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick's sub is The Chainsmokers with The Hunna third down lol.

I'm currently predicting Wolf Alice & The Kooks to be the top two on NME for the Kendrick day.

There's no way Wolf Alice are playing above The Kooks.
