Headlining Boardmasters and Truck Festival alongside the likes of Courteeners and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Edit: If the slot below Dua Lipa is technically third down then I guess there would be a slim chance but I'd be surprised to see two pop acts in a row in prominent main stage slots. also biggest weekend in swansea http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4bzvTKWBMzGGdDCxfcWhgyd/the-biggest-weekend-swansea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any act on the line-up that would play Reading (last year Kasabian, Royal Blood, Alt-J, Biffy, TDCC, Blossoms etc.) would take a higher slot at Reading as those line-ups are usually stacked full of the most popular artists.

You could say Dua Lipa is technically a sub, but she's third down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontsidecab Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 The Big Weekend line-ups are never in order on the poster and the line-up order is usually pretty all-over the place. Not one to take into account when looking at other festivals in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would put money on them headlining Community Fest in 2019 they'd fit that perfectly. Would FR book them for both community and reading though? Only reason I think Community is bc theres no one else at that level except Royal Blood (who FR dont seem to realise even exist) Edited March 24, 2018 by R Shah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but who else is there that could headline community though. TDCC and Catfish were both like small arena level. I cant think of many other recent bands at that level except Royal Blood.
