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

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

Pretty sure nobody has said they were playing Reading and Leeds for ages. They're obviously not going to do a UK tour and then play Reading and Leeds.

To be honest I've not really been keeping up with what's being said recently. The last I'd heard someone who's had info in the past said blink were playing Leeds and reading.

So alkaline trio with a downgrade on bass playing blink 182 covers rather than their own superior songs? Should be good fun.

I don't think anyone's linked blink with R+L for months. Certainly not since it came out they had placements for a July UK tour.

I would think Download at least went for them.

I see You Me At Six are announcing another UK tour tomorrow.

Weakens them further for Festivals, at this rate i'm not even convinced that they would sub.

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...)

That's very very brave if YMA6 are doing an arena run.

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

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!

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.

[Andre91]

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

[Muppetmark]

Ymas are doing Aly paly not arena's at least for london .

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.

Dingwalls show isn't until the end of next month, assuming you meant the friend went to buy tickets for that from Josh today at the DMs store?

[PastRecedes]

I reckon Drake could be headlining next year
