    Having seen footage of Courteeners live it looks like an average indie band playing average songs and a load of teenagers going mental in the crowd.

    Everything Courteeners have released since St Jude has been predominately average bar a couple of songs. I used to really over rate them based on their gigs but I've sort of seen the light on them now. If it wasn't for flares and smoke bombs they'd be nothing more than FR headliners

    J Hus has had a decent year, I don't think he should headline NME, but looking at the other acts it seems the most sensible and it wouldn't surprise me if FR pushed him. Maybe Diplo could though, seeing as Hannah Wants self confirmed headlining Dance tent 

     

    Edit: Gambino would be a dafter placement to headline as he rarely plays UK, he'd gather a very large crowd imo

    Yeah J Hus with a Diplo closing set wouldn't be too bad and would offer an alright alternative to KOL. I agree that Childish Gambino would geta big crowd but it would be a lot calmer than Skepta's will be and slightly more manageable. I still think he's highly unlikely given Lovebox but it would be a nice surprise.

    Childish Gambino would be just as daft. It’ll be J Hus surely.

    True, feel he'd appeal slightly less to Skepta's audience if 'Awaken, My Love' is anything to go by. Just feel J Hus isn't big enough to headline it but that's probably just me not having too much knowledge of grime outside of the big artists.

    He is set to be the msot expensive headliner booked by reading. What you have to remember though is that its effectively two shows and that over time with inflation people get more expensive. My view is that after they missed out on AM and didn't book Foos they decided they didnt have much choice but to pay it. 

    Is this based on information or is it just a guess?

    Surprised there’s been no announcement for their English date(s) however. Like, those will be the only ones where their pay is affected by demand right?

    I’d guess they’d want to release stadium dates on their own with a new singnle and album pre order details for a pre sale or something. Could possibly be next week when all the hype from this announcement dies down.

    All the other Etihad concerts this year are late May - mid June, they tend to cluster them together, so late July is unlikely.

    True, I suppose Heaton Park and Old Trafford cricket ground would be likely if they were to do a north west summer date
