Lineup 2016

[DomDom1984]

How many big venues have All Time Low actually done on their own here?

[dentalplan]

Oh yeah I suppose that doesn't count. Replace with ADTR then.

[Matt42]

Enter shikari won't even play third down at reading I don't think... Stall at NME / 4th Down

[DomDom1984]

I genuinely don't see them going lower than 3rd down next time out.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Enter Shikari have without question peaked, failed to capitalise after album 2

[conroy17]

I reckon ES will sub next year tbh. If BMTH can then ES can. They'll never do better than subbing though; and I think the only places that would ever allow them to sub is Leeds; possibly Download.

[Andre91]

I think that Shikari will sub next year, but that's as high as they will ever get. I also think that A Day To Remember will also sub the next time they play.

[DomDom1984]

I can't see them going higher either. I think it's possible, but if I had to guess, I'd say it won't happen.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Enter Shikari do get a fair bit of airplay on Radio 1 so sub isn't out of the question, plus they have the tag of "reading favourite" which could work in their favour.

[Matt42]

If enter shikari sub reading then I'm giving up even more on the festival

It's completely unwarranted, they didn't even get that big of a crowd in 2014

[jump]

That wasn't relevant to my point at all.

I'm saying we won't have two brand new headliners. I don't think they'd book that. I think if they did they'd have to have a ridiculously strong third. A lot of people will see Flo (maybe less so now shell headline Glasto) and FOALS as weak headliners

Flo's current tour isn't even selling as well as I thought it would, although I haven't checked since the other day

 

2015-Mumford & Sons and Libertines new

2014-Queens and Paramore new

2012-The Cure and Kasabian new

2010-Arcade Fire and Blink new

2009-Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead new

2008-Rage and Killers new

2006- Franz, Pearl Jam and Muse new

2004- White Stripes, Darkness, Green Day all new

2002- Strokes, Foos, GnR new

2001-Travis and Eminem new

 

All new headliners but if you want to change to your point to no two weak headliners in a year then that's an even longer list.

[JeffLynnesBeard]

Rage headlined in 1996 (my first year...)

They played before Prodigy and Melvin made reference to Rage headling Reading for the first time in 2008.

[foolee]

Can't see Enter Shikari subbing, it'll be 3rd down or nothing and because they like playing the festival it wouldn't bother them if they really wanted to play. I would have said Jamie.T had more chance of subbing this year if I'm honest.

It's definitely not a worse suggestion than The Weeknd though.

You can only include it as a 'new' headliner if their 1st time bump up. Calling Radiohead new in 2009 can't really be done, might be the 1st time for them headlining R&L but they aren't a new headline.

Well apparently that doesn't count as the original example contains Flo who's headlining Glasto.

it is extremely disingenuous to compare anything pre 2007 to the modern festival.

Oh you little shit

The weeknd is miles more popular and bigger than shikari though

[TenInchToenaiIs]

If the weeknd subs i'll buy everyone on here a pint before his set

[foolee]

Who the fuck is The Weeknd...

[#FreeComTruise]

If the Weeknd subs, I'll give Matt42 one of my kidneys

[Gucci Piggy]

If The Weeknd subs I'll have Revolt played at my funeral.

Lol

[Gucci Piggy]

Did man just say "lol" in response to The Weeknd being more popular than Enter Shikari
