He may have left it a bit too late, quite a few acts probably have plans around that time(?) or he might not have the funds to get some names. He could probably easily get a headliner, but he's probably trying to get a headliner that'll blow everyones minds when it's announced. Fingers crossed he doesn't have to resort to a mediocre finish.

Could it be that he's got to find someone bigger than other acts he's got that aren't headlining - Brian Wilson, Public Enemy, Primal Scream etc?

I'd like to see who he has been going for, I just hope he can get an act as big as Prodigy like last year to close.

To be fair, I think The Cure are the band that's being pushed the most so in an ideal logical and sane world it'll be somebody bigger than Pendulumbut not as big as The Cure.*

* - because that narrows it down a whole lot more.

If it's bigger than Pendulum, who I personally feel are good/big enough, but smaller than The Cure, which is a brilliant booking & probably the best of the year (with Big Chill & Kanye)... I cannot wait!!!

Someone earlier said the Bestival line up was "sh*t"... this guy's only festival this year is Reading. Mug.

ah yeah the Bestival lineup is amazing! no doubt about that, would probably agree it's better than R/L although we do have Pendulum as headliner... <_<

but i still think that the r/l lineup is good! (which shows how good the bestival one is)

all i was saying originally is that the fact this person is going to reading doesn't make them a mug

and apparently im sayin it in a very longwinded way! haha, sorry.

Reading has a good lineup, it's just a bit predictable and not really that exciting. Bestival, you have no clue who's going to be announced. I wasn't expecting Public Enemy, PJ Harvey, The Cure, etc. I feel like Reading has no inspired bookings whatsoever.

Agree that Pendulum drag down Bestival and also think that it's a bit harsh to say Reading has no surprise acts when they pulled out Madness and OFGWTA or whatever they're called before they had the hype they do now. Saying that, I think most of the Reading line up completely repetitive and dull (which is funny since Benn accused Sonisphere of repition when being interviewed by Rocksound) and the organisation/food/sound/toilets at Leeds (guessing Reading is the same) have been awful every time I've been

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
