Lineup 2016

[sjseabass]

Absolutely 0 chance of Faith No More subbing - they only headlined NME the same year they headlined Download!

Slipknot is a good shout though, could definitely see them doing alongside a couple of very mainstream headliners (much like Metallica this year). Radio 1 have suddenly decided to play a load of metal in the daytime, so along with the album going down really well amongst their usual crowd I'm sure they're back on Reading's radar. Especially if Soni doesn't return.

I still don't know why that means there's literally no chance

Well, in the sense that the bookers could go insane, or be working as double agents for V, there is a chance

In terms of size I still think Foals are quite a bit off headlining. But with Imagine Dragons arena tour this year and the new album likely to be a success I think they'll be the right size.

[Yellow_Fellow]

wot

[conroy17]

imagine dragons aren't headliner material at all

[justanothername]

could see faith no more subbing next year considering a new album is due later this year

Not really the right fit for the festival any more, especially if they're gonna sub

Errrr....no

[justanothername]

I think your safe.... Rob zombie, fall out boy or alter bridge are never, EVER going to headline r&l

BUT THE PATTERNS NEVER FAIL!!!

[DGrant261]

Errrr....no

Correct me if I'm wrong but Foals haven't/couldn't do an arena tour, I'd say that's the minimum level needed to be a headline act. I think come 2016 Imagine Dragons will be considered headline sized.

[Gucci Piggy]

Foals will probs arena tour the next album init

Foals will do arenas on the next album and it isn't not like Imagine Dragons have tickets flying out for their tour at the moment, you can still get standing tickets for Manchester (don't know about the other dates but I'm gonna presume that it is the same). Also I'd say that Foals are more popular with the R&L crowd than you think. Also headline slots at Bestival and Latitude are still quite impressive and the next step is probably headliner

You'd be making arbitrary statements

[DGrant261]

I really hope that you lot and Foals prove me wrong, whilst I can see it happening an Imagine Dragons headline show would be dogshite

[Mezhyp1]

I am a massive massive Foals fan and would really like their new album to get them a reception that ends in them headlining, but I'm not sure it'll happen

Bloc Party

Bloc Party to headline because of reunion hype

They'll probably be back, seems to be the trend for the to make up after a few years, don't even think the most over hyped of reunions would push them to headline though

[kemosabe]

I'm really looking forward to 2016 already looking at the names touted/ bringing out albums its already looking like it has the potential to be better then this year.

[Gucci Piggy]

I just have to...

Bloc Party

Do you know something about them?

I dunno blink and libertines have managed to do it.

[Muppetmark]

Bloc party took ages to sell out their earls court show.... having said that it was a bloody good show.
