Soad, blink, green day and linkin park for nova rock the week of download. 

Thought everyone was adamant blink weren't here till July? In fact pop punk sucks was being quite the dick about it. 

 

Edit. Wrong thread. Still relevant as some are saying they're playing Leeds in August. Can't see travis making two boat trips.

Yeah I can't see Travis doing that, either. Blink headlining with Shikari subbing though :ninja:

I love Blink and I like Shikari but God does that look weak with Blink having played so much recently and Shikari playing too often and not being big enough to sub.

Either way certainly gives weight to Blink at DL now Novarock has confirmed them

I would think Download at least went for them.

yeah i was one of the people originally thinking they'd co-headline/sub but right now i think NME headliner is where they should/will end up

With you all the way on that one, their return has been underwhelming in terms of fan response which dropped them to sub for me and this has just lowered them even further.

If it's an arena tour then what a joke, seeing as this 'small venue' your didn't even sell spectacularly. NME headliner seems appropriate for sure. Get Jimmy Eat World underneath them and it'd be a decent evening of music (apart from YMAS...)

Obviously it would never happen as you implied but I reckon they'd go down no worse than your average headliner at R&L. I don't think the size of their crowd would reflect quite how big they are but it wouldn't be small.

I think they'd get 70,000 comfortably potentially going to about 80,000. Which as you say, is a lot for reading and Leeds but for them, probably isn't when they played to 100k+ at Glastonbury last year. Interesting thought though!

Right so what's the latest predictions on the 3 headliners?

That's it'll probably be 4.

But in reality Kasabian/?/?

We have no real indications of any other bands that could headline as of this time, BMTH have seemingly ruled themselves out of next year but will surely be nailed on for 2018.

Kanye West, The Strokes, Paramore, Kings of Leon, Royal Blood, BMTH (still) should all be in the mix, I would think. 

Kanye has only ever been wishful thinking, i don't think that there's much hope of Reading booking him, although if they did it'd be fantastic.

The Strokes are in an awkward position, they've never outright headlined and have been away for quite a while and their general interest has certainly decreased, i don't think R&L would book them to headline without having seen how the next album goes first.

Paramore are very possible, although they've played in the top two slots on mainstage in 2010, 2012 and 2014 so maybe Reading would want to hold off to slow repeat bookings?

KoL i would think would be very much a back up booking for R&L and are seemingly doing BST due to no London date on their UK tour, which would definitely mean they aren't headlining.

Royal Blood i think it's too soon, Reading would want to see how the album goes before bumping a band with one album to a headliner, 2018 possibly but not 2017.

BMTH have almost said in black and white that they aren't playing R&L and won't be again until they are offered a full headline slot, which will undoubtably be on the back on a new album which would set them up for 2018.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
