Might have missed something but he seems likely for a big slot. I've predicted him to headline the NME in every prediction i've done. I think people are just cramming in so many bands that some have to be dropped here or there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamishrankin Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 With Blink being announced for Download (France) and a few other festivals around Europe over the summer any chance they'll play R&L, it does seem to be their favoured British festival?

The fact they're in Europe in June basically removes all likelihood, with Travis not flying they'll do everything in one big blow, can't see them touring Europe for 3 months just to fit Reading in.

Yeah this looks pretty feasible. Dunno if I'd get a ticket though, Kanye would be tempting but there's not loads that interests me there and those that do I've seen before.

Friday NME and Lock-Up aren't gonna clash.. right? Very little for me on Saturday, swap Jake Bugg with Weezer tho and it's all good. That Sunday looks really strong too. 14 minutes ago, Shaun182 said: Chainsmokers won't be that low down If they're in Europe around the time of R&L they'll play V.

There isn't a chance that GNR day will be that strong. They will have very quick sell outs if it happened, they could easily get away with ADTR subbing it even if they shouldn't be, you are probably getting a days money in some people's eye's without GNR even there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Blood probably being able to be pushed as a co-headliner aside, that GnR day isn't all that strong at all. i doubt if they've got GnR they'll go with a weaker undercard; they've never (obviously) done similar with other big name headliners in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just now, thewayiam said: When compared to other two it's way stronger. debatable really. obviously more your kind of music so you think that, but all the acts below A Day to Remember aren't really that big or hugely popular with the R/L demographic. it'd be huge at Download - not so much at R/L (imo of course - maybe it's just me who's off the mark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit the only act I'd bother with in the top 3/4 on the other days is RTJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some placements on there that i think are off. Catfish subbing and Wolf Alice third isn't happening. Catfish maybe as a sub but Wolf Alice won't be higher than 4th from top on main. Jimmy Eat World subbing NME is probably a little high too. Twin Atlantic would probably play 4th from top on Main. If Creeper play main stage they would be opening it, not playing any higher up. The Chainsmokers aren't going to be third down on the NME, lower placing than Jimmy Eat World? Not a chance. Doubt we will get anyone nearly as big as GnR but it'd be nice if they did pull of a massive headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I thought I'd have a go.. If any are too high/low or unrealistic let me know but I didn't take too long doing it, tried to come up with a few names that haven't been mentioned, too. Friday Main: Royal Blood/The Weeknd, Bastille, Catfish, Twin Atlantic, Blossoms, Moose Blood, Rat Boy, Deap Vally NME: Justice Pit: Modern Baseball FR: The Sherlocks Saturday Main: Kasabian, Elbow, The Lumineers, Wolf Alice, Peace, Cage The Elephant, New Found Glory, Band of Skulls, The Hunna NME: Frank Turner Pit: Yellowcard FR: Little Comets Sunday Main: Slipknot, You Me At Six, A Day To Remember, All Time Low, Billy Talent, Pierce The Veil, Milk Teeth, While She Sleeps, Creeper NME: Primal Scream Lockup: Neck Deep FR: The Japanese House Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hmm I think Royal Blood and The Weeknd would be a really odd pairing to share headline duties for a night - I don't personally see The Weeknd ever doing R+L cos he seems a real odd fit but if he was I think it'd be done differently. Bastille and Catfish are probably too big now for 3rd and 4th respectively. Lumineers would be very lucky to get a third down billing as their slots weren't that big this summer. Don't think The Japanese House, Neck Deep, Modern Baseball, Little Comets or The Sherlocks would be headlining stages at this point and Primal Scream won't be playing ever again really. Justice is a good shout that I haven't seen yet. They did stop off on their last tour so I don't know why it hasn't been suggested a bit more. Would be great. Slipknot could well be a possibility too. Could see them popping up at August festivals and hitting R+L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire Weekend will surely sub or nothing at all? Too big for NME i imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipknot could well be a possibility too. Could see them popping up at August festivals and hitting R+L. I thought on here if a band was just below the co-headliners they'd be classed as sub headliners, if that is the case then I'd have thought Bastille would be well placed, possibly agree about Catfish though with their popularity at the moment probably could be higher. FR headliners are hard to predict so I'll take your word that none of them are ready yet. I'd say Neck Deep are really big in the Punk Pop community at the moment though so have to argue with you on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
