They tend to promote acts from the last fest too though which at this point is still 2019. Probably not worth reading into
This, I feel like there's been quite a bit of reading into the other promos too, but does it actually have much significance? Could Pale Waves and YMA6 also just be getting promo from 2019?

Yeah I don't appreciate these non-lineup tweets

Take that back Jonathan^2. At Most A Kiss is surely an official R&L staple now. 🤬
Nah I have to side with Jonathan here, Charlemagne is a banger but the rest is very samey and lacklustre
I shall not be apologising

Is there any chance of a post today or tomorrow announcing an announcement on Monday or is Monday not really a day they announce ?
I think it tends to be a Tuesday or Thursday, but there's nothing stopping them throwing something out on any day of the week

Going back to Architect I just got an email from SlamDunk advertising there shows then underneath said artist announcement next week if they play Slam Dunk in September does that rule them out for Reading and Leeds
Don't think so unless they're billed as an exclusive

Josh from You Me At Six has tweeted saying some good news coming at 6pm tonight. Could be R&L announcement but could equally be another festival or rescheduled tour announcement.
Think it'll be worth watching the comments on that for any hints

Who are the main people with inside information I’m still quite new but remember around august someone sending in a photo of an Apple notes with all 6 headliners on wondered of anyone had spoken to them
Main guy is dan wilcox. There have been a couple more recently though
-
Going back to the first announcement, it’s just as confusing. The fact that Lewis Capaldi to MK are above the also performing heading suggests all of them will be main stage, but with Solardo saying the dance tent is a thing, isn’t MK set to headline it?

You take that back.
Waiting for W2S to come out and in unison...
CREATURE WAS SHIT
WHY DID WE HAVE TO WAIT 4 MONTHS FOR IT
That was the best of the diss tracks for sure

Wasn’t Little Boy a song he released as part of that cringey fake diss track war with his pals on YouTube?
Not sure I could take that seriously as an actual song someone would actually play live.Relax mate, it’s just a bit of fun haha

Barely, all the artists you're referencing really only fit 4th down. There's still only 6 slots and 7 artists who have been mentioned on here.
Add the R1 and it becomes 9 slots, I’m still convinced we’ll see it

yeah but solardo is in the bunch of names at the bottom, not specifically under MSE
But I can’t see what the difference is between where sigrid and beabadoobe are and where solardo is. Granted the former are above the MSW, but I still think it’s just a styling choice and the main stages only apply to the headliner they are alongside

Think you might be right, they'd have 15 acts across the main stages on LG day so they'd either be playing about 30 mins each or have to start at the crack of dawn
That's my thinking, even with alternating main stages, there'll be a short break between so they don't overlap

I know what you're saying but it also doesn't make sense to have MK, Gallows and Sports Team on the main stages. I think MK is dance headliners, Gallows are the pit headliners and Sports Team are FR headliners.
Well considering all of the names are under main stage headers on the poster, I reckon we can discount the whole thing as simply a stylistic choice and that the main stages only properly apply to the headliners, with the rest of the acts still to be distributed across stages. I don’t think I’ve seen any announcements before where every act for main stage was announced before any other stages were filled up

with it already sold out from a business stand point whats the point imo
not sure theres enough backstage room there honestly, maybe if the current mainstage goes closer to the Pit a bit perhaps
Well I don’t think the decision would’ve been left this late anyway. If they were going to go all out then they would’ve confirmed that months ago and most of the acts would’ve been booked by now, so I can’t see the sellout impacting it much

If the R1 is still a thing, going off of what has been announced already, I’d be backing AJ Tracey and Charli XCX to be two of the headliners as they both played Main last time they played in 2019. Equally, I think YUNGBLUD could do it (instead of Charli) for the same reason, or even Mabel (but she was down to play Main in 2020 so that’s where I think she’ll stay).
I'm keeping my fingers crossed as that then adds another 3 big slots. My only hope of getting Glass Animals and NBT somewhere is the R1 surviving, so it would be nice. I feel like Yungblud is a main stage act though. I'm not sure if acts are actually looked at in this kind of way, but I feel like he's perfect for getting the crowd's energy up leading into the final act/acts of the day. Definitely enough of a prescence to work the main stage well, no need for a tent
With the YMA6 rumours seeming strong, I could back them to be put in the other R1 headline slot, leaving Yungblud on main stage and freeing up a good few sub/3rd down main stage slots

It’s certainly an interesting idea, chop down the line of trees and it would almost be possible to have it down by the FR
Seeing that Madcool thing makes methink they could easily just lash it up the other end opposite the current stage, by the dance tent and have them on opposing schedules
I feel like they will find a way if they want to. Just depends if they actually want to go all out this year I guess

Who knows. There are other acts already announced who would play similar slots too if they were on the Main Stages, like Sigrid and Neck Deep. I’m expecting Sigrid to play Main(s) but Neck Deep to headline the Pit/Lock Up, however.
This is one of the things inclining me to believe we'll still have the R1. Surely we won't have double the acts on the main stages to make up for the slots lost from the R1, so either there'll be fewer acts (which doesn't seem to be the case from all the names mentioned for the same kind of slot) or they'll be spread across the main and R1

On the train
You’re right re the other one it is busier once the arena is open
Thinking back to the 90 degree main stages at Mad Cool, what's stopping the second main stage going bottom right where the stalls are and keeping the rest the same? If the speakers are pointing across the arena then the sound leakage from main to dance tent wouldn't be too bad, and wouldn't the volume of the speakers drown out the dance tent noise for those close to the dance tent on the left side of the second main? Maybe even shift the dance tent towards the R1 slightly if its not quite far enough away

Just now, Andre91 said:
Tom Grennan, Declan McKenna, The Hunna, The Amazons, Pale Waves and Slowthai are all acts that have hinted/self-confirmed/are expected to be on the lineup but they all seem like they would play round about the same slots, no? Is there room for them all? I would assume they would all play the Main Stages and be 4th down on either stage.
Could that mean we won't be losing the R1 then? There can't be enough space for all of them on the main stages alongside those already announced, surely?

do we think this means the end of big big big boy headliners aka arctic monkeys, rage against the machine, foo fighters, eminem etc.
I don’t think two main stages would necessitate a headliner on each though? If one is replacing the R1 tent, couldn’t a standard lineup be rejigged to put the normal main stage sub on the second main stage as a ‘headliner’ without actually billing them as a headliner, then slotting the R1 headliner in under the headliner on the other main stage, etc?

Assume one will be the lattitude stage or similar
Fair point there, could the latitude and download stages work as second main stages?
