Wish list: BMTH, MCR, Metallica Realistic Prediction: Biffy, SOAD, Kiss

The Chemical Brothers aren’t headlining R1. No way would Catfish accept a 3rd down slot, even with a “special guests” label. Other than that, looks pretty good.

I’d legit take Harry Styles subbing over Liam Fray trying so hard to be the other famous Liam from Manchester, and having to leave because all the fuckwits in bucket hats have set of flares, and you can see bugger all.

Kiwanuka - Michael Kiwanuka Everyday Life - Coldplay Hypersonic Missiles - Sam Fender Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2 - Foals Earth - EOB RYC - Mura Masa Notes - The 1975 Heavy is the Head - Stormzy Future Nostalgia - Dua Lipa I don’t know if all of these will make the list, these would be what I would consider as the possibilities.

Oh god it’s going to be a Courteeners/Biffy co headline isn’t it?

I’m pretty sure he would be the most expensive act R&L have ever booked. He’d do like three songs from JIK, go on a rant then walk off stage.

As much as I love those bands, I just can’t see Bring Me and Foos. Given the poor reception Biffy got, I can’t ever see them bumping up a band like Bring Me, who are seen as a “pop sellout band” by most hardcore Download fans even though Amo is better than at least 80% of BMTH’s other output. As for Foos, I just think if it was ever going to happen, it would have happened by now. There’s been so many chances for them to be booked but Download just don’t ever seem to be interested in them. I would happily take both of them over fucking SOAD and Maiden AGAIN.

Probably third down main stage but I can’t see it with their Hella Mega commitments

Arctic Monkeys, Foals/BMTH, Rage Against the Machine With Tame Impala, Two Door and The Streets subbing

Courteeners, Kings of Leon, Liam Gallagher

No this is a good idea. It gives all the parents something to watch whilst their 15 year old kids are off doing balloons watching Aitch or something like that.

This forum’s circlejerk around Nick Cave is astonishing. I can’t believe people are talking about him headlining over The 1975, possibly the biggest British band of this generation.

I really hope they don’t book 6ix9ine.

If we’re not including Secret Sets: Main: The 1975 (2019)/Muse (2017)/Frank Turner (2016) Radio 1: The Amazons (2019)/Rat Boy (2016)/Slaves (2018) Dance: Crucast (2019) Pit: Good Charlotte (2016) FR: Vistas (2019)/Bad Sounds (2018) 1Xtra: Scarlxrd (2018) Indroducing: Peace (2018)

Please. I’d love that so much.
