Yeah,looks like

Same day as Slaves and on Slaves record label

Guest appearance?

[OFWGKTA]

Himalayas! really excited for that set now, just hoping they don’t clash with anyone i’m wanting to see too badly

[Andre91]

Lady Bird are really bad. 

[Diamond24]

I'm pretty sure there won't be a This Feeling stage this year then. Himalayas are normally playing that stage at every festival and they've put them on the BBC Introducing for this. 

[rfc_478]

Saltwater Sun are a good local (Reading) band that I’ve seen in town before. Will see them if clashes permit 

[Dukey]

October Drift and Sun Arcana are fantastic

[mylesharrison]

Thanking bbc introducing for introducing me to himalayas, these guys are fucking sick! 

[dum surfer]

is that going to be it in terms of announcements now, or will there be one more?

That's your lot I reckon. There's a few spaces here and there but they'll mostly (if not all) end up being secret sets.

That'll likely be it now barring secret sets dropped in.

PnB Rock is in the country R&L week with UK dates on the 21st,22nd and 23rd. Two notable slots on the 1Xtra for a secret set, early on between Lizzo and Lisa Mercedez on Saturday or just before AJ Tracey on Sunday.

Don’t really think he’s big enough to be worth doing a secret set for. Who’s gonna be impressed by that, like?

Yeah that’s fair, just thought he could definitely do it. there’s that slot between Lady leshurr and AJ Tracey that would make him a sub. Maybe he could be a late announcement to fill the gap? Unlikely but was just thinking about it.

It seems like they might have mistakenly copied the times from Leeds over to Reading and then left AJ Tracey, who starts half an hour later at Reading because of the later curfew. It's not really big enough for another act to fit into.

I was actually thinking they might have done something like that when I was filling out the BBC Introducing times earlier, because they've left gaps in the times at Leeds when there are never secret sets on the Introducing at Leeds.

The one after Lizzo is more likely to be a secret set - as could the space on the Dance Stage - but they could just as easily be where they didn't bother to programme anyone and it's a genuine gap in the timetable. This has happened before.

[dentalplan]

The clash between Lizzo, Noname and the Lucas Brothers is garbage, by the way.

[Shikari20]

Anyone know if you can pay for parking there? Need a white car park ticket and their now unavailable 

[pepesilvia]

astroworld is probably gonna help make travis scott’s set one of the best received of the festival, i really enjoy what i’ve heard. 

[mylesharrison]

rip to fall out boy playing after Travis 

[Andre91]

The new Trophy Eyes album is really great. Gutted they aren’t playing the day I’m going. 

[Dukey]

Yeah Travis' new album is impressive, Fall Out Boy are going to have a task on to follow him.

Every video I've seen from his live sets looks superb.

[UndergroundSound]

Strongly recommend people at Reading to check out The Blinders headline the BBC Introducing stage on the Friday. (and Leeds on the FR stage on the Thursday?) Incredible band with an electric live set.

His shows look incredible. Travis could genuinely school most of the bigger heavy bands when it comes to energy and power live. FOB are going to get shown up something rotten.

I can second this, certainly seeing these over ‘mans not hot’ on the other stage on Thursday night ? saw them supporting Courteeners and they’re great live
