Cause Diplo doing a cloaing set would mean Skepta aint even vs. a headliner TBH I dunno whats so difficult about this either. Youre just saying you thinm Vaccines would be 3rd down main on the Friday rather than NME headliners on the Saturday which basically makes 0 difference (assuming you agree Don Broco is gonna be there and would just fill the other slot) How does it make zero difference? It would be logical to assume that The Vaccines, having been pencilled in to play third down main, would have swapped with The Wombats and are still playing third down main, wouldn't it? And nothing has changed on the Saturday poster meaning that the potential/existing NME headliner on Saturday is still in place. Unless they're a replacement (which I doubt because they are so obvious to play) then Don Broco would have to be fourth down Saturday or possibly Saturday's NME headliner held back, because we already had all the thirds on that Vaccines poster and Don Broco weren't one of them. And for the record, I would predict that NME just goes Diplo then Skepta on Sunday. Putting Skepta (and J Hus) in a tent against the likes of Courteeners and Wombats would be reckless as they'd certainly attract a bigger crowd, based on the clientele they're trying to appeal to here.

So where is J Hus playing on the Saturday then? 4th down main below Wombats? Surely not... I don't think it makes logical sense that they would have just swapped Vaccines & Wombats as what would be the point? I assume there has been some reshuffle because someone dropped out (maybe the NME headliner on the Sat?) or someones album did better than expected and got bumped up or someones album did worse than expected and got bumped down. "We've already had all the third downs" unless Vaccines aren't third down which is my whole point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 So now Lil Pump's probably been booted off the lineup there's slightly less rap on the first announcement Then again, he's still got his artist page on the Wireless website so maybe he isn't gone just yet.

What I'm saying is we had all the third downs on the poster that Brockhampton shared with The Vaccines on it. Make a lineup out of that lot and you'll see as much. So Don Broco don't actually fit into the top three of the line up as it was. I imagine the change is due to scheduling of another festival overseas that The Vaccines are doing; either that or they've left the lineup all together.

And would Post be 5th down then? I've said all I can say on that prediction, it and I think you get what I mean now. Things will probably become clearer for us when festivals over Reading weekend get announced. Edited February 17, 2018 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelemon Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Don Broco have a big fanbase but they're not really known outside of their specific scene, so it's hard to place them. Personally I see them as a fourth down because they'll get a decent crowd but once you hit the top three places that's when you start to see the bands with mainstream appeal, which Don Broco don't really have. I mean they don't have any crossover hits and unless you're into that type of rock music and those bands you're probably not going to have heard of them. Fourth seems more fair (or actually I'd give them third on a co-headliner day so they've got a prestigious spot but are essentially a place lower)but they'd likely want more as their tour sold well and tbh this year is so weak it wouldn't be so bad having them third down.

Bisque Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 21 hours ago, VCK said: Never got The Courteeners, never will. Can't help but feel that the fact they're from Manchester has helped boost their popularity because of the music press's hard on for that city, despite Oasis being the last genuinely great band to emerge from there, which was nearly 25 years ago now. 20 hours ago, SCG95 said: Having seen Courteeners both up north and down south, they're twice as popular up north. They'd be a reasonable sub at Leeds for sure, but I don't quite feel they'd go down as well as Skepta in the sub slot at Reading. I think Courteeners & Skepta co-headlining would have been a better option. Courteeners closing Leeds & Skepta at Reading as the two are clearly more popular in different parts of the country. I'd didn't think that much of The Courteeners at Leeds (I got dragged along) but the crowd was pretty barmy for them which made up for me not knowing many songs. I don't think they are as good as The Vaccines live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last two appearances were on the NME and they’ve openly said in interviews they want another crack at the main stage after being shoehorned on in 2013.
