Maybe a bit ambitious but I mean, I have no fucking clue what to expect if we get 2 stages (also, apparently I'm crap at creating a poster from scratch rather than just copying an old one lmao).

 

Think that would be a solid set of headliners, with Paramore effectively being the 6th one (to stop it being a sausage fest etc.) Maybe swap Courteeners and Catfish? I kinda have no idea how many acts to expect, like 14? Who fuckin knows

If the 2 stage info is right then I'd expect the BMTH/RB/Kendrick/FoB/ID info to be right too.

Paramore and Imagine Dragons would defo swap places; can't see the latter dropping down from co-headliners already. You've also got no FOB, which explicitly came with the two stages info.

I just really don't see the Fall Out Boy info being right lmao. Would be such a weird booking...

Surely if he's got the 2 stage thing right then it'll all be right though. Would be pretty incredible for him to have the stage thing right but then have the acts wrong.

I don't think it would be that strange tbh if you consider they were pretty much a sub last time. They've got a new album out, no other fests they can realistically play and if they're having 6 'headliners' I can easily see them having to get in a couple of underwhelming bookings as the acts headlining the second main stage.

If they had been marketed as a sub sure, but for people who don't really care that much they would look and see fob coheadlinined twice in 3 years, which imo looks real bad... I guess they have no other fests, but they have an arena tour early this year, do they need to comeback and do festivals as well???

No, but they're an easy, probably cheap option for R&L to fill out 6 'headline' slots with if they need to. I wouldn't be surprised if an expansion to two main stages and 6 'headliners' meant quicker repeats tbh. R&L must know the majority of their punters attend for maybe 2/3 years and then move on.

Also other festivals that house quite a few headliners over the one weekend have a quick turnaround. Rock Werchter for instance have the likes of Kings of Leon every couple of editions.

I think that people who don't really care don't really care and wouldn't pay attention to that sort of thing.

Assuming that the FR stage remains the same, who are we thinking will headline it? I think Peace and possibly The Sherlock’s with the other hopefully being Rise Against. Want to be sure before I commit it to a poster

I currently have The Cribs, DMAs and Half Moon Run in my prediction, but those names you mentioned are possible too. Dunno about Rise Against though.

I've seen a few people predict Death From Above and Amber Run as well. Foster the People could be a possible shout.

It's really hard to predict though, it's likely to be 3 names we wouldn't even have considered.

Yeah might just leave it out of the Poster all together, at least then I can’t be wrong there...

Tbf it's likely you'll be pretty far off the whole poster anyway

I have The Cribs, Amber Run and The Sherlocks but I've changed my prediction for FR headliner so many times as there's so many people it could be, like @SomeoneListeningIn said, probably bands we haven't even considered.

Can someone please give me a brief run down of this 2 stage idea? Where did this info come from? What is the likely hood of it?

[DomenicoZappala]

Hi, I’m new to this but been reading everything and keeping up with the thread. Found this on twitter, assuming it’s fan made after all these two stage rumours but it does help give some solidity to the rumour and makes me kinda believe it all that bit more. The proposed headliners are also a good guess at what’s been suggested on here.

It’s similar to predictions on here because it was made by Dental from these forums

Probs like 3rd or 4th down NME. Hope he does that on Kendrick day.

[matty13]

anyone know if Tash Sultana is a possibility to play? think she would be pretty great live

[Gucci Piggy]

Haven't done anything to my lower stages or checked how they work up against my new main stages, but I've basically just re-worked my main stage lineup to fit the two main stage thing. Dunno if there'd be more acts on the main stages, haven't bothered to check how many you'd be able to fit in. Probably two more on each day or something compared to what I've got, as you'd no longer have long gaps between the acts.

Reckon they'd be more willing to have a hip-hop top two if there's a rock band between them headlining a second main stage.

Maybe, don't see why they wouldn't just wait until 2019 and book them with presumably a new album.

Edit: Hopefully Vampire Weekend are active and do it instead.
