The description on mobile says headliners, surely its all 3 - did they do a radio announcement pre2018 for the single announcements?

Is there still the argument that drake is too big for r and l these days and would be better off doing stadiums and what not?
two words: foo fighters
besides i don't think Drake really cares about making heaps of money from shows
-
I honestly really think Drake would be a superb booking. Unlike Foo Fighters, ticket demand FAR FAR FAR outweighs the supply. He hasn't done a UK tour since early 2017, wireless was unannounced and sold out in days anyway. By R&L it will have been nearly 2 and a half years since his last proper UK dates and the demand for him is more than ever. Getting Drake is an absolute steal for R&L without any question.

Why do people think Disclosure is a possible headliner may I ask? They aren't really very APE i think, more Creamfields/Reading from the songs I know?

Foo Fighters have always treated Reading like a big deal. Excellent in 2005 and 2012
I think they recognise that if they play Reading well, the people who go are the majority of the new ticket buyers to their shows in years to come.

Glastonbury has sold out, and reading is way more appropriate for a rapper anyway. I think with Foos and Drake, basically the strongest of their genres Reading and Leeds could both sell out.

Craig David on the main stage
there's so many errors with this and you manage to highlight something thats not even a problem. Craig David is headlining smaller festivals and is popular atm

What do we reckon the likelihood of another Muse headline is? I know they did 2017 but they've just had a new album and their tour dates end in Europe with plenty of time running up to R+L...
For this year, no chance as much as I would like it. Their two stadium shows don't seem to have had too much attention (still all tickets left except cheap seats for Manchester) - they will be back for their next album.

What capacity is the event? I don't see that as a Top 4 bill selling well enough to justify a big outside show. Be lucky to sell out The 02 Arena if tickets are £60-70.
The catfish day was like £40 last year, not all the days to this are expensive.

Foals won't end up at APE. They did Vic park as one of their last gigs. It'll probably be Finsbury/TRNSMT
Could be IOW then Parklife or Summer Sessions maybe?

After witnessing the backlash to this years line up and the backlash to the rap survey on twitter I'd say a more rock focused line up would be likely I'm guessing
Friday The Cure or Gorillaz (just a gut feeling)
Saturday 1975 and TOP duel headliner
Sunday Foo Fighters (to end with a bang)
People who actually go to the festival seem fine with it. Kendrick and Post Malone had much larger crowds than the rock acts did at Reading by landslides for Fall Out Boy for example. The only people who complain are the people stuck in the past - its going to get more rap if anything unfortunately.

Who else do you think would play on a Red Hot Chili Peppers day?

Do you think Foals are a possibility, they are releasing a double album next year - do you think they would only return to headline outright?

Honestly, no. When you look at their streams on Spotify they have 17 million monthly listeners (96th in the world). That’s more than Foos with 9 million, Arctics with 10 million etc. I think they’re a lot more popular than people on this forum realise. What u gotta remember is they’re mainstream played by mainstream radios that aren’t just Radio X or Kerrang! - that shit helps I guess.
spotify listens don't always sell tickets, think like Dua Lipa or someone whos big right now, but wouldn't sell an arena like foos or someone would

R&L hardly book any acts from any genre from the 90s anymore though - the lineup appeals to a much younger audience than Glastonbury. Skimming over last years lineup I can't see any acts booked in prominent slots that were big in the 90s.
Red Hot Chili Peppers would count and I guess if Foos play next year it would be their rise. Someone should make like a stats thing which shows the year every artist's biggest album came out. Probably averages to around 2010 maybe for main and R1? (excluding smaller stages)
-
I think what maybe should be commended is the mid range acts, theres huge variety look at Kate Nash on here:
vs Kate Nash at Community:
8th versus 3rd down (hopefully 4th) for a fairly similarly sized and marketed festival (other than the two days vs one)

Can't see them getting both Arctics and Foos in one year, and The 1975 are too big to be co-headlining at this point imo. Most likely scenario is Arctics have chosen not to do festivals this year (perhaps planning on doing them off the back of their supposed new album coming next year?) and it'll just be the other three.
there's a new album next year? interesting

There's talk that the Glastonbury headliners will be Stormzy, Paul McCartney and The Cure.
That leaves Arctic Monkeys free. Them, Foo Fighters and a 1975/Twenty One Pilots co-headline?
AM and Foos would be pretty pricey already, but I don't think with such a strong two headliners they would need to bother with a coheadline, they could just have one of them play instead. Not sure which would be better difference wise from the other two headliners, probably 21p since it kinda is a bit rap/emo although 1975 definitely have pop appeal.

White camping is the family camping furthest from the arena, its not particularly quiet but its a lot quieter than say orange for example. The map shows where it is, over the bridge.
