I'm finding the lower line up a little impenetrable this year   Any thoughts on heavier bands a la Slift a few years ago?

Will be curious to see how most of those shows sell. Surprised they're playing Leeds and Manchester - much as I am with Megadeth. (Not complaining, mind you.)

Biffy Clyro back again for R+L then 😁   To be fair, Biffy Clyro still one of the true "coup" bookings they've had here. Not implausible another Victorious headliner ends up in the mix, given Ashcroft has done it before. Maybe Kasabian, on the back of their arena run?

I do think Wolf Alice might be at R&L next year as exclusives or something, there's a growing trend of Finsbury one year, R&L the following 

Weezer (thankfully) ruled out through an arena tour in May
