do people think if post Malone plays he will play about 4th down or nme sub, or do we reckon he will remain very relevant and maybe take an NME headline or third down slot with his logo on the poster?

I think Post could easily be ok just before Kendrick, he’s one of the biggest acts in he world atm

R&L posted this video to promote tickets and used footage from AM’s set in 2014

It's how a bunch of festivals do it (Glasto, Coachella etc.). The festival is still 7 months away, that is over half a year away, there's no rush lol

I think theres a rush for a lot of people, especially ones who aren't camping as they're only going for the acts

I don't think it'sa either. It's just a different way of announcing acts. Before 2013, people had to wait till end of March to hear anyone (they got the whole poster announced at once).

That would be horrible

Do you think they're doing this as just a publicity stunt or do you think maybe a big act cancelled or something else happened which meant they had to postpone it?

There'd be way more publicity about it if they were. They usually announce the announcement like a solid week before it happens

Yeah they do but they also usually announce in December and they said early January, it’s now halfway through January

Radio 1 are giving away R&L tickets at 8am tomorrow,. Considering they’ve annouced headliners in the past on the station, could they be announcing the line up tomorrow?

How have people been thinking it's going to work then. If we're using dental's poster as an example would RB finish earlier than Florence or would they finish at the same time? Guess it does mean they can have more headline acts but imo I feel like if they do go ahead with this these acts will be weaker due to there being double the amount of them. Feel like it will take it's toll on the subs as well.

Exactly, I’d prefer quality over quantity. It’s like in 2016 when they had one huge headliner and 4 smaller headliners. If they did do it one act would finish on one stage and then the other would start straight away on the other while the original stage sets up for the next act

Nah think his ban is still in place. He tweeted a month or two ago about how he misses London but he still can't go so I think he'd make a bigger deal about it when the ban is lifted.

Yeah true, it probably won’t be lifted until the full 5 Years is up

Also, 2018 is 3 years since Tyler has been banned from the UK (he was banned for 3-5 years). So, there’s maybe a slight chance of him being there

Think you'll get almost definitely get Kendrick and decent chances of Rex Orange County, King Krule, Brockhampton, SWMRS and Post Malone. The rest I can't see.

Yeah, it’s not what I’m predicting but it’s people I desperately want to see

yes fucking please.

They’d be sick!

[The Space To Put Predictions And Then Provide Feedback Or Bold Bands If You Want To Show People Who You Like Thread]

People I’d love to be there would definitely be AM, Kendrick, Radiohead, Tame Impala, Death Grips, Rex Orange, King Krule, Brockhampton, Swmrs, Mac DeMarco and Post Malone

Well, QOTSA probably aren't playing because of their Finsbury gig.

And it's all well and good saying that. I think Daft Punk // Arctic Monkeys // Kendrick would be a better lineup, but that sure as heck aint happening either...

Daft Punk would be other worldly!

I AGREE

Foos are a cool band but they’re far past their prime and should stick to massive festivals like Glastonbury, Coachella etc imo

Welcome to the forum!

AM are pretty unlikely we think at this point but not impossible, and we don't know if the idea of two main stages holds any truth to it right now or not. Many of us are thinking that it's fake as it seems unneeded and kind of unrealistic but nobody actually knows.

Does it say that I’m new ?? Hahahah

I don’t think I like the idea of it at all, part of me thinks they’d just get smaller headliners (Fall Out Boy) just to fill the novelty factor out

We have no other info from that. To fit it on the site tho theyd have to get rid of NME and 1 more at least though.

Lemme go find my copy paste:

And regarding Arctics, i think theyre pretty unlikely now because:

1. If Foos are playing (which it's looking like they are) and AM are then that would be massive for R&L. Why waste 2 of the biggest ticket sellers in one year

2. It's only been 4 years, which is quite a short gap for most big bands (Foos will be on like an 8 year gap this year iirc)

3. Currently, it's looking like AM will be touring June/July (the opposite end of the summer to R&L)

4. They are heavily rumoured for Tramlines, which is in Sheffield. Why would they play Sheffield and Leeds?

5. Foos, Kendrick and a Royal Blood coheadline (with whoever) is such a well rounded set of headliners. Variety with kendrick, new acts being bumped up with the coheadline, should leave money left for the undercard (unlike last year) etc.

I think Foos wouldn’t be a great headliner for the current state of R&L but AM, Kendrick and RB + QOTSA would be a great line up

Is no one predicting Arctic Monkeys? Don’t think Im very keen on the idea of two mainstages
