Maybe BBK but it seems a bit early to try and push them to headline. I guess a Swedish House Mafia reformation could probs do it, but I dont think thats on the cards lol surely kendrick must be pretty nailed on then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possibility is that they may want him for Wireless, but I think they'd take Stormzy from R+L before Kendrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Paramore so I hope its them, but I'm not sure they'd be the best option. They could do catfish I guess but I think theyre more likely for Latitude this year. I cant think of many other options tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most years? It's been Eminem in 2017, Disclosure (at Leeds) in 2016... Eminem in 2013? Eminem in 2001? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessarily gonna be the case though - particularly with FR owning a hip-hop specific festival and a pop festival that has rappers headline more frequently than R+L.

dentalplan Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I think Sziget is due to announce tomorrow and Frequency on Wednesday so this is definitely about the time where August fests dust off their first names. Frequency is the one where Twenty One Pilots are rumoured to be playing so it’ll be worth seeing if that proves true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Does anyone else think they should have Big Shaq open main stage one of the days? Will only need a short set but people will get into the arena early regardless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIchael_scarn Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 R+L twitter has been silent for 5 days now and they were posting stuff pretty much daily up until now. Could just be nothing but with big fests their social media activity seems to die down before an announcement. I know we've said it past couple of weeks but fully expecting one this week!!
