No Reading headliner has played an announced set at Glastonbury. Cue someone finding something from the 80s. But you know what I mean.

Bloody hope you're right, Big Weekend is much different, 6 Music is still an English gig whatever way so that's what's stopping the exclusive down here.

Doug85 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hmmm if Foals are not an exclusive that leads me to believe they are likely to sub. Up for debate whether they are big enough to headline but if Florence can do it then i can't see why not. i'd reckon a sub if anything though. I for one would like to see them.

Because Florence is massively bigger that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding leto14 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Foals will sub Adele and move up if she bottles it closer to the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeeroo Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I think Royal Blood played the 6 Music festival last year and were then billed as a 'Summer festival exclusive' for Reading. One would think they'd do exactly the same for Foals if it was the case. (As posted in the Foals thread also!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug85 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 massively? i wouldn't say massively. I still can't believe she headlined but good for her as she took the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, they aren't exclusives there for a reason and Neil seems to think they have a big chance of being at Glastonbury, so I'm sticking with that until it's confirmed otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorttooth Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 This is how it will go in regards to Radiohead being announced. 2-3 more large-scale festival appearances to be announced over the next 2 weeks. Glastonbury to be the final announcement, headlining the Saturday night. The album to then drop mid to end March. Of course I hope I am wrong and it drops tomorrow.

FloorFiller Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 i know it means nothing, but Muse are the bookies favourites to be the final headliner at Reading/Leeds, and with the rumours of the BH&R in full shows, what better place to do it than there as a follow up to their Origin in full show in 2011 (plz plz plz plz plz plz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, if one act is announced before resale, I'd rather it was Radiohead than Adele. She'd increase demand massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hblow Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 do you not think foo fighters will be one the headliners ??

The thinking is if they were doing glastonbury they'd be doing the other ones they had to cancel too. Prepare yourself for coldplay, muse and adele.....

captainmuscles Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nearly shit myself in terror when I saw Foals on the Glasto rumours today. Seems like they're probably not headliners, but do people think they're headlining for R/L? I got Leeds tickets to see the Chili Peppers. If Foals headline both my festivals this year I'm going to flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
