Lineup 2015

[Andre91]

One Direction's songs are so damn catchy

[kemosabe]

Why are you watching that crap? Is the more important question

support of BBC's Music. I try to watch as much as possible same with football on the BBC.

Also Catfish and the Bottlemen are on later and its nice to reminisce about the popular music this year.

[Spud001]

One Direction are probably the best of the bunch

[kemosabe]

One Direction's songs are so damn catchy

Ah is that what it is...

[dentalplan]

Fucking hell.

[kemosabe]

Fucking hell.

aye fucking hell...

[supreme]

I know this isn't probably going to go down well, but I was just thinking. With such a odd bizarre booking such as Macklemore, maybe we could see the likes of Ed Sheeran?

[lightning1000]

3 nights at Wembley stadium means it ain't happening. As well as the reason that they wouldn't book him regardless

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah, whilst Macklemore is fucking atrocious, he's (unfortunately) massively popular the people that go to R&L, unlike Sheeran.

[kemosabe]

Bet you Ed Sheeran would still pack out the main stage... lots of 16 to 18 year old girls go to Leeds fest

[GodlikeYeezus]

Completely agree, he's blew the roof off my twitter feed and 50% are looking to go to Leeds Fest or have been

[supreme]

Yeah that's the main reason I pointed it out, he would pack out the main stage. Teenage girls for some odd reason love him & that's now the main demo graph

[GodlikeYeezus]

Yeah that's the main reason I pointed it out, he would pack out the main stage. Teenage girls for some odd reason love him & that's now the main demo graph

It's not the main target, in fact R+L have much more than the one group of girls to please or else the three headliners would not involve Metallica or the other rumored suggestions. It's a difficult festival to get 100% right because the people that go are all completely different but yeah Ed would pack the main stage and so would many others that aren't for the 'girls with short jean shorts'

[justanothername]

Ed Sheeran will not be booked for R&L in the foreseeable future

[dentalplan]

They don't book acts like Ed Sheeran in such prominent slots now and the festival still sells out. Just because R+L attracts a less alternative crowd nowadays doesn't mean it needs to pander.

[supreme]

This girl on my timeline on twitter posted: The next reading lineup needs to be Drake, Schoolboy Q and Oasis...

Pretty varied selection

[thetime]

Coldplay must of passed the baton on to Ed sheeran.

[Gucci Piggy]

Im watching the BBC Music awards. You guys are music fans... can someone please tell me what it is that makes one direction so popular?? They are clearly the biggest band in the world right now and I feel im missing something here, to me they are nothing better then any of the other boy bands.... I don't get it?

Catchy, accessible pop music performed by an extremely marketable group of people.

[Andre91]

Ed Sheeran will be headlining festivals on his next album, he could probably do so now. I still can't get over his Wembley stint. I don't like his music, but the boy done good.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

He's worked his nuts off bless him, good for him.

Coldplay must of passed the baton on to Ed sheeran.

As long as Matt still posts, Coldplay still hold the baton.

Where is Matt anyway? He hasn't posted in two weeks.

[the wonderwhy]

I feel like I should change my username

[dentalplan]
