Maybe just my ignorance, but whilst I recognise Royal Blood are getting big, are they ever going to get to the point people would pay headline money to see. 

From my experience with them, everyone seems to like Royal Blood, but nobody seems to love them. 

People I know who have no interest in foos went to the mk bowl shows for royal blood.

Could just be I don't know anyone massively into them, although as I say everyone I know seems to like them, just not crazy about them. Fair play if people were paying Foos money to see them though.

I've met people say they're their favorite band. I guess they have to be to pay foos prices for a support slot

I'd say Foo Fighters could be nailed on for 2018. Wouldn't have played the festival for 6 years which is more than long enough for R&L. Add BMTH, who are very possible considering recent interviews/rumours. So Foos/BMTH and then I reckon Arctic Monkeys, or if they're going for a more interesting booking Kendrick Lamar. If they get either of those trios it could be their strongest set of headliners in a few years imo.

[FloorFiller]

yeah Foos must be as good as nailed on, although i can't see them having both Foos and Arctics in the same year - that'd be ridiculously strong. Foos, Kendrick and BMTH would be a pretty decent trio i reckon

[Gozpot]

Considering how strong it'll be in 2018 I'm going for BMTH / Royal Blood / Arctic Monkeys.

Thinking that 2018 might finally see Download get Foo Fighters.

[thewayiam]

FF at Reading in 18 vs FF at Download in 2018. ...there is only one winner there. They are a band that always chose Reading over G for the money and then chose G over Download.

FF, BMTH, Kendrick

[conroy17]

reckon Arctics will do a big stadium tour like Etihad & stuff when they return, possibly ruling them out. Foos - BMTH & someone else getting a bump up like Tame / Kendrick / Alt J / 1975 / Royal Blood

[FloorFiller]

could see Arctics possibly doing IOW considering they've never done it before and have done all the other festivals several times over

hmm maybe, but I think the Arctics are such a big draw that they'd get huge offers from other festivals that will deter them away from IOW.

too soon for Glastonbury and i think R/L will go for Foos over them (both would be far too strong) but i guess they could do TITP again. if not, only IOW left, and it seems weird to me that they haven't played there even though they'd be a good fit

Glastonbury won't be on in 2018 so that means that R&L

No Glastonbury means less competition, maybe R&L will pull a download 2016 and book two huge headliners in one year

also they could easily have BMTH, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys as the trio - would make BMTH headlining seem less controversial.

You say that, if this year is to be believed then they would have had RHCP and The Stone Roses. You could have Arctics and Foo's then two co-headliners no bother.

where's Stone Roses come from? if this years actual headliners are anything to go by then Foos and Arctics in one year is far too strong

and the whole Glastonbury not being on argument doesn't really work considering they had Foos, Kasabian and The Cure last time round which i don't think many would argue was a particularly strong set of headliners. Foos and Arctics are both BIG names and R/L hasn't had two that strong at the top in some time. not saying it won't/couldn't happen, but i don't see it

It's what Reading had in place this year apparently before pulling, and Biffy and Disclosure being booked. It was said to be Foals/FOB topping with RHCP and Roses.

I can see them ending up at V and TITP again with one or two big outdoor gigs too.

aye first i've heard of this

[dentalplan]

It's utter bollocks that was disproven instantly because we had heard Foals and Disclosure were headlining as far back as October.

[Gozpot]

What i heard it as was that Radiohead dropped out and they booked Biffy and FoB because of that.

I heard the RH one as well, Neil mentioned that but I don't think FOB were booked because of this. Who knows what's real, doesn't probably matter either.

[Gucci Piggy]

Tame/1975 co-headline, Foo Fighters, BMTH

[PastRecedes]

Foo Fighters, BMTH, and either Arctic Monkeys, The 1975 or Kendrick Lamar as final headliner. King Kendrick would get my vote

Yeah I think any of those final 3 it could be.

[Andre91]

The 1975, Bring Me The Horizon & Foo Fighters is my guess for now.
