What was it that Dan posted this morning? 

FOB / Travis Scott 

Kendrick / Panic! 

KoL / Courteeners 

With Wolf Alice, CHVRCHES and Sum 41 also playing? Something like that?

Not Chvrches. That was DR OK who alluded to them playing.

Dan mentioned the rest of those and J Hus, Skepta, Dua Lipa, Sigrid, The Vaccines, The Wombats and Wolf Alice.

To be honest if Chvrches and Wolf Alice are NME headliners, that's two bigger NME headliners already. Skepta would round that off to three.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Aye if it is FOB/Kendrick/KoL I imagine either the two stage thing is true (which is unlikely although not impossible at this point) or 1, maybe even 2 headliners dropped out for whatever reason and FOB & KoL were replacements.

Sauce?

Ill have to find it gimme a sec, that being said it might not have been Bmth as a whole, possibly just Sykes going on

[mttJ]

Bumping FOB to headliner over Royal Blood is such a grim thing to do in every single sense imagineable. What a shite line-up that’d be.

[Gucci Piggy]

I've never been so confused heading into an R&L announcement. I just hope the Kendrick day has a decent enough undercard to make it worth going.

[Alex DeLarge]

Do any young people actually listen to KOL anymore? I can't imagine that except for Sex on Fire and Use Somebody at indie bars, wouldn't want a repeat of 2010 if that was the case.

TBF I'd rather play R&L for the money & ladies

No they don't. Baffling booking tbh.

Nice one, thanks.

In 2018 when there is no Glastonbury and potentially no V Festival (or whatever it may become), if it happens, the best they can come up with is Fall Out Boy and Kings of Leon? 

Who is going to look at that and think, ‘Wow, I really need to get into buying a weekend ticket pretty sharpish’?

If Fall Out Boy return after 2 years to headline, then I'll be gassed. 

They co-headlined in 16, and Mania was incredibly average definitely does not warrant a bump up to headliner. 

I suspect if FOB are at RnL, they'll sub.

That's the opposite of what gassed means.

Mania was COMPLETELY garbage.

We flip a lot of words. 

[Properbigfan]

Kings of Leon would not appeal remotely the majority of the reading demographic these days

Sorry not sure if I replied, wasn't having a go just I like hearing bands talking about or slagging certain venues

[Hawky]

I'm tired, confused, apprehensive, excited and scared. 

I'm going to watch Big Mouth to mellow out.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Maybe Jared Followill is just excited for the announcement .

[Bisque]

Do not google "big mouth"

[Hawky]

If it's 2 stages, at it turns out to be 

KoL                           BMTH

FOB                           ID

KL                             Royal Blood

I honestly don't know how I'll feel.

[adam1234]

I've been away for a long time. Just read the last few pages. Is Kendrick Lamar really big now? Shows how out of touch I really am!! 

[Hawky]

With KoL looking weirdly likely, that adds credibility to Dan, which then adds credibility to 2 main stages (if they're from the info is from the same source) we've done a full circle.

 

We've successfully got nowhere in 11months (Or whenever this thread started)

 

[SomeoneListeningIn]

If I had to make a prediction right now I'd actually go for Dan's info. At least those 3 headliners.

[LiamEP]

Every time I see KL as an abbreviation I think it means knocked loose. Don’t know if that’d be a headline set or a massacre. 

[Hawky]

I'm starting to think it's a coincidence... he liked a tweet that said "it's basically summer now" that someone he follows tweeted. 

He didn't directly like the fact there's an announcement... he just likes summer.
