The wording of the text seems very very strange... ”...are only some of this year’s headliners!” Does this give any credit to the idea of 2 main stages? Could they be holding back another similarly big announcement as a surprise? Or have they genuinely just messed up the text? "only some of this year's headliners..." Well, yeah, the other one is Panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if Leeds Festival could spell Kendrick Lamar properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'll be going for the Saturday. I would have gone for Kendrick irrespective of whoever else played his day, but I would see Sum 41, Jauz, Brockhampton, Papa Roach, The Magic Gang and Pale Waves so that's fine. Panic! At The Disco were actually rather good in 2016 but you can't justify that slot however you spin it. Sunday looks like a fairly standard R&L day except for KoL who look massively out of place. If Caleb was pissed about an unresponsive crowd during their set in 2009 he's going to be shook this year. Friday is a stinker, obviously.

Guest Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Fri Main: Fall Out Boy, Post Malone, Nothing But Thieves NME: Wolf Alice Dance: Annie Mac Sat Main: Kendrick / Panic!, Dua Lipa, Sum 41 NME: ??, Sigrid Dance: ?? Sun Main: Kings of Leon, Courteeners, The Wombats, J Hus NME: Skepta Dance: Diplo That's how I think it'll look in terms of the top two lines from the poster. Maybe J Hus second on NME instead. Haven't included Mist or The Blaze cos I have no clue who they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are Mist and The Blaze? I put The Blaze on to find who tf they were and I've been listening to them since.

kev1664 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think a market is opening up for a new festival for a more rock orientated line up. R&L continues to book what's popular with the demographic, and the lineups are moving more and more away from bands and acts working there way up lineups to acts with less longevity. Download still remains pretty niche and I can' see it becoming less heavy to pick up the types of acts being attracted to the continent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willutalk Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 This is a sad sad day. Lack of innovation and creativity and frankly effort to put together an attractive lineup. Agree with @losing44, the rock bands on there are very surface level. What was a festival that had me literally running from stage to stage to see all the act I wanted to see fills me with disbelief nowadays. 1st time in 9 years I might not go.

It prob saved like £5 on the current price and you have to put all that faith in a decent lineup. This is atrocious even compared to the shite from last year. They deserve about a hundred people to show up. A lot of people don’t actually care about the music and just want to spend a weekend getting fucked up in a field.

justanothername Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ahahahahahahahahaha, this is so fucking bad Why is Panic co headlining? I don't get it. And with Kendrick as well. He's easily the biggest act on the bill. Does this fest know what they're even doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been established that Kendrick can only do the Saturday Reading slot. Maybe that’s also true of Panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Another thought, perhaps Sunday main stage is KoL, Courteeners, Skepta, The Wombats. Then NME headliner being J Hus. I can't see them putting Skepta in the tent against KoL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throstle Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 What will the next announcement look like? Any chance of other headliners or will it just be more for the undercard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
