• The Pretty Reckless
• Killswitch Engage
• Stone Sour
• Weezer
• Brand New
• PVRIS
• The Offspring
• Bad Religion

[Hawky]

Every year, on the eve of announcement day there's a hint of optimism. The usual mentioned names are :Weezer / Cypress Hill/ Brand New etc... 

Then on announcement day, the optimism is shot. And hatred takes over. 

Its an amazing transformation, kinda like a werewolf in a full moon.

 

I'm just hope 2017 will be different to the last 5 years.

The main 2013 announcement was great, no disappointment here:

Friday overall was decent enough, NME was far better on Saturday and SUNDAY bar Biffy no ty.

I miss Zane Lowe's evening announcements on Radio 1. I remember 2015's first announcement, listening to the show on my drive home from University and being so happy when Enter Sandman started.

I remember in 2014 listening in the car and Zane played All the small things for the Blink announcement (I'd never seen them and they were my favourite band at the time) and I went mental and my mum nearly crashed the car. Now it's just kinda like a news headline isn't it, Zane really bigged up the announcement

Seems strange that there's been no word in terms of Eminem appearing anywhere else. No single or album announcement either. Reckon it'll all flood in tomorrow? 

[jacjens]

My hope for tomorrow is Royal Blood gets announced to sub Muse, Eminem gets announced with Major Lazer subbing and Kasabian don't play Saturday.

30SM or Bastille to sub Muse or Eminem would also be fine.

It does seem odd, especially as the announcement is in the morning. I could have seen him dropping an album overnight with no warning, but that seems unlikely as america won't be awake at the time of the Reading Announcement.....

I really hope Eminem doesn't get announced!

[Count Bukakula]

i'm Guna be optimistic about his setlist and hope he plays a load of tracks from the eminem show and the albums prior to it. Think if he dropped tracks like remember me, amityville, just don't give a f*ck, guilty conscience, say what you say etc it has potential to be a memorable performance. However I will stress again that im being extremely optimistic haha

Why does everyone think that Eminem is performing?

Because the person who runs this website has received information some time ago now that suggests this is the case and he is fairly confident that information is correct

Come on, someone find a leak so I can sleep 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Just checked in the metro, nothing in there. Just go on twitter where everyone is believing the poster that's been put on here a couple of times in the last few days 

[FloorFiller]

Unless the final headliner is being held off from this announcement (I haven't been keeping a close enough look to see if 'third headliner' has been included in all the promotion) I'm finding it weird that it's gonna be Eminem for the same reasons other people have mentioned - seems odd that Reading/Leeds is the first thing he's gonna announce in his new album campaign. Not saying it won't happen; just that outside of Neil's TBC it doesn't seem very likely at all, and a small part of me is still expecting Royal Blood and/or some crap co-headliner thing

Grimmy on 3rd headliner:  "It's really good, one of my all time favourites"

Well shit they actually did it. @eFestivals will be happy - I was starting to worry we had another Glastonbury 2015 Coldplay scenario on our hands.

[coreyt409]

[eFestivals]
