It was always gonna be a packed tent to for them, but that tent does not get as busy as it has done in the past when the likes of Foo Fighters, Blur and Elastica have properly rammed it.

Fri - I can't see 1975 getting that high yet. They drew a massive crowd at the NME in 2014 but the mainstage is a completely different level. Can see being high up though. I think I'd have PVRIS on the NME higher up too first. I saw Major Lazer at Sziget this year and he had a huge crowd, might be a bit to big for the NME but that would depend on the rest of the lineup and who he'd be contending with, NME headliner would a minimum for them I'd expect. 

 

Sat - Foo will be in high demand next year because of this years disappointments, time will tell where they'll head. As much as I hate to admit it, Shikari have been working their way to that sub headline slot for years. If BMTH can pull it off I can't see why Shikari wouldn't deserve the opportunity. Eagles of Death Metal a little higher for me too, maybe sub NME?

 

Sun - Foals will probably get near it but I don't feel like they deserve it yet - I'm a fan and think they're great, just that they won't shift tickets like other potential headliners. Please keep Rudimental as far away from Reading as possible. Vaccines to headline would be much more preferable Skindred is a great shout, new album soon and tour coming up, maybe Crossfaith in there somewhere too.

[VCK]

What do people think the chances of Arcade Fire are? There's always been a three year gap between each album so I'm expecting number five to be out in 2016, so if that's the case they'll no doubt be planning on a few shows towards the end of the year, and that's if the album's even out as late as then.

[Matt42]

Foals album only going #3 in the album chart... I really don't think they are gonna headline if they were beaten by the weeknd and Jess Glyne's third week charting

I'm not expecting an album until 2017 given there's been no mention of them starting back and most of them seem to have young families now. I think they're a good shout to headline in 2017 as there's only really R+L and IOW that they can do but 2016 might be a bit too soon.

The Weeknd headline slot confirmed.

I'd really like to see Jess Glynne given her chance to headline.

[FloorFiller]

i'm surprised they didn't get to number one, but i think they'll definitely still headline. in terms of new acts who could headline the festival next year, they'd be insane to go with anybody else

[jonodillieono]

The charts come out on Sunday I think so that'd be last weeks charts, what day did What Went Down come out? It's number 1 in the midweek chart this week like so will probably be number 1 come Sunday

[JSmurphy]

I read that Feeder are going to have new material in some form next year, also coinciding with  the 20th anniversary of their first mini LP. What a fantastic booking they'd be.

They come out on Fridays now that albums are released on Fridays.

[Shaun182]

Where would feeder play on the main stage these days? 5th? 6th?

they wouldn't get booked for the main stage these days - played second on FR last time, so maybe third on the same stage now. taking a similar plummet down the lineup to Ash

[#FreeComTruise]

The Weeknd headline slot confirmed.

 

Don't be silly, they're going to sub because Matt said so

[jonodillieono]

They headlined the FR last time they just had a dj set closing after them. I think they're probably on about the same level as they were so could maybe headline it again? I'd say they're bigger than Ash are now

[charley]

Feeder.... Not even close to having Ash's credibility (or tunes) I think you'd find them at V.

If bands that were much bigger than them such as, for instance The Wonder Stuff (ex headliners), ain't getting booked I don't think they'd have a chance.

I'd love to see it but Reading is not really looking backwards musically apart from the odd exception such as Metallica.

[VCK]

Speaking of bands from the 90s, who were at the peak of their popularity at the turn of the century, who have taken a bit of a slump in popularity over the past 15 years...

 

You know who is long overdue a performance at Reading and Leeds?

 

 

Really they should have played this year and done The Holy Bible in full, would have been GOAT.

[jonodillieono]

At the last holy bible show I went to they mentioned that they're gonna tour Everything Must Go in full
