I can ask. The most he ever gave me was the top 5/6 main stage acts on each day in 2015, so we'll see. And obviously the poster in 14.

I would believe this tbh if it wasnt for Fall Out Boy and the 2 main stage things. That makes me so suspicous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've never been to Reading so dunno if it would possibly work there, but if the second stage info is right and it genuinely means a new, outdoor stage then the only place at Leeds I could see it working would be where Yellow camp / silent disco is currently. Obviously if that means getting rid of a camping area they may have to add another, maybe bring Brown back permanently I guess. Idk what to make of it.

Definitely no where to put a second main stage on the Reading site, the stages are already very close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerbreaks Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Think of the clashes we could see with another main stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond24 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Both Fall Out Boy and Imagine Dragons coming back just two years after last playing would be disappointing. (I'm not a fan of either though tbf...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Paramore coming back was iffy because of how quick it was Biffy went from outright headliner to coheadliner in 3 years. But tbf FoB weren't really a coheadliner, they had a shorter set than Biffy and subbed them at both R&L. I think that whole coheadline thing in 2016 was to make Biffy look stronger considering they'd only headlined 3 years prior. Edit: sorry I read your post slightly wrong, thought you said 'turned' as in demoted rather than 'returned' aha Edited January 14, 2018 by SomeoneListeningIn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty13 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Having 2 main stages & 6 headliners without Arctic Monkeys will send twitter into a meltdown. Im surprised that Foos aren’t apparently set to play considering how strongly they were rumoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Only thing I'm worried about now is if there are 2 main stages and those acts were right that Dan mentioned (FOB, Royal Blood, Kendrick, BMTH, Imagine Dragons), then perhaps they're getting 6 'coheadliners' to outright headline the two main stages and not book any massive bands like Foos / AM etc. Don't think that'll necessarily happen but who knows at this point.

RarerThanDandyB Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 How come this Dan has information, I understand people are believing a little bit of what he's said but any evidence to believe him? If Foo Fighters don't then that contradicts what we have been saying thus being disappointing, and if AM don't then it could be a disappointing lineup...

A lot. Other people know the specifics more than I do of what he got right, but I know he's probably one of the most reliable on here.

Edduk98 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I agree, we have been saying foos are near enough nailed on then suddenly everything changes to foos not likely to headline?? No offence and its all cool to speak about this stuff but Dan doesn't have any evidence of anything he is saying?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Guess it could be: Kendrick vs Fall Out Boy Foos vs Imagine Dragons Royal Blood vs Bring Me the Horizon If the two main stages is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danz026 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I take a short break from the thread to watch the football and all kind of shit hits the fan I’m willing to bet if there’s a second main stage it’s just a renaming of the NME (and a shift towards bigger bands on that as well as the main. Perhaps NME headliner will become the second most prestigious slot rather than main stage sub) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
