Ed and Lily third down would be acceptable(ish), if they sub it says a lot about the festival circuit this year. Haven't really seen a festival with a really good undercard yet.

Before the recent announcements I would have said third was good for them too, but with Ed looking like he is subbing at T, and Lily Allen possibly around the same spot at Beni I could see them being 2nd at V.

I dont know too many guitar bands that could sub, who can you think of

Also, who is being talked about for R&L subbing

T in the Park poster is always a mess. Ed could end up headlining their second stage, until the stage lineups are announced I wouldn't trust it. Lily played the first V i ever went to (2006) and a couple of times after that so I mean she could well sub and has a bit of a back catalogue to pull it off compared to Ed.

I haven't a scooby who is rumored for sub at Reading, haven't been following the forum for a few weeks, but wouldn't be surprised with You Me at Six or something along those lines for one of the nights.

And I can't think of anyone that might sub V other than Elbow.

YMAS told a guy in a pub they're doing one night, the other night isn't confirmed although from the poster it looks like maybe The 1975 or Courteeners. No third sub because they have co-headliners on the Sunday.

And I can't think of anyone that might sub V other than Elbow.

that JT gig in Ireland was last year lol

nothing announced for a support for his UK tour which starts next month yet. The Weeknd supported him in the US but they'd be Arena Stage at best over here surely?

apologies

Tho then again you just called The Weeknd a 'they' so unless I've missed somat we're equal lolz

Doubt Snoop is big enough to sub, but I was just looking at JT's night at Wireless last year to see if there was anyone who could do it, and there really isn't.

from Wireless 2012 Sub Focus or Nas would do nicely. Or failing that John Legend would be perfect :giverose:

John Legend is touring for months on end until early June then seemingly taking an extended break until playing some random-ass support slot in the US the midweek after V so he's unlikely I'd say.

Nas has nothing this summer. Sub Focus are at Beni but nothing else.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival
