Kendrick is up for best international group and Royal Blood is also nominated for something iirc

Congrats to Kendrick. Fully deserved, he is my favourite group.

Edit: But yeah was gonna say Royal Blood are probs up for something, too. Would probably work well for R&L to announce it just after BRITS if its headliners are gonna have a big presence there.

Grolh loves a big announcement, and they're playing.

So is it likely we won't see any announcement until the Brit awards?

They haven't revealed any headliners yet have they? They've gone back to the old way where they'd announce it all in one go. 

They could still do it Download style where they announce headliners across a week (like this week, payday) and then follow it up with announcing the rest of the poster later on. They could just give us an announcmenet like this first also:

Looks that way, yeah. Kinda hoping we don't get any more solid info before it drops, because right now other than Kendrick (and probs Royal Blood) I don't have a clue what to expect.

Well, by that point we should have Sziget and Pukkelpop announcments right?

I've no idea really ... tho it definitely seems to be a possibility. 

After all, what other way would there be for R/L to get itself across to the mainstream as the premier festival in a non-Glasto year than via the BRITS?

And if all their headliners are up for awards, then it's perfectly perfect!

Yeah probably. R&L haven't shared too much with those, headliner-wise, recently though I don't think. Looks like last two years the only R&L headliner either of them has had is Kasabian at Sziget last year (they also had Major Lazer).

They both seem closer to V in their headliners. Reckon they'll both have Eminem this year. If so I think they probably won't have Kendrick, and Royal Blood/FOB/BMTH presumably couldn't headline there. Guess the only thing of interest would be whether either of them announce Foos or AM.

Actually I guess either of them announcing FOB/BMTH in non-headliner spots would still make them look likely for R&L.

Royal Blood must be a similar size to people like The XX who headlined Pukkelpop last year tho right? I expect Kendrick could play there over Eminem (who I expect to do zombie V instead that weekend?)

Pretty sure The xx are much bigger than them in Europe. They were being discussed as a Rock Werchter headliner for this year, which Royal Blood certainly wouldn't be.

Are you pretty sure that they'll be there then?

Edit - talking about R&L, not the BRITs

I'm pretty sure, but that doesn't mean it's right.

I'd be amazed if they didn't, they're the typical safe booking Reading & Leeds go for and they sell tickets. 

[Stuielooie]

Catfish show announcement tomorrow. Could be another biggish show for them, potentially ruling them out of R&L

[JSmurphy]

So J Cole, Stormzy and DJ Khaled headlining Wireless. 

BOOK KANYE.

[JSmurphy]

Post Malone, Migos, Rae Sremmurd, Lil Uzi Vert all UK exclusive there too.

Had Stormzy, J Cole and Wiz Khalifa down for this but didn't really know if Wiz was a big enough thing. Wouldn't have expected DJ Khaled to be, either.

When Travis Scott announced some European date in July I at first thought he was more likely to come over before that for Wireless than to stick around after for R&L. Ended up changing my mind because I couldn't think of any other options for R&L. Think that's looking very likely now, especially with that person's friend's auntie's info.

Shit then no Lil Uzi, fuck I was really hoping for him. Wasn’t expecting Post ore Rae too much tbf and obvs Migos played last year. Genuinely gutted about Uzi, was really hoping for him :/

 

[Gucci Piggy]

J-Hus and PARTYNEXTDOOR announced as non-exclusives who a lot of us had on predictions.

Big Sean too but idk if he's likely or not.

[Guest]

Surprised Krept & Konan haven't been announced for Wireless. Definitely thinking they could be NME sub or 5th main at R&L.

[JSmurphy]

Just caught up with the last few pages, R&L have got me for at least a day with Kendrick looking pretty DAMN. likely.

I don't know what this is but sounds like something that'd get posted on here pre-announcements  .

I don't believe any UK festival exclusive after last year

Haha someone said the other day that their friend's auntie works for a record company. Told em one piece of info in the last year or two that turned out true (can't remember who it was) and has said this year that Travis Scott is booked for R&L. Seems likely anyway like.

[TheWaters]

Does someone being at wireless make them less or more likely for R&L say if they were an American rapper? Also where does it say who’s exclusives?
