Catfish&TheBottlemen? Ian Brown? I’m still predicting two door to be one of the subs and maybe someone like Asap Rocky or chance the rapper to be another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with it was just the other three. I wonder if it'll just be a glorified FOB under Biffy Not sure that's right. I had 21P along with the other two mains, but not Post Malone. What i did have tho was the suggestion they were going after a rap act as a further headliner, with Drake having been said at me from another direction.

The All Round Ball :| Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 I really fucking hope that Bastille are NOT subbing Foos. Please for the love of god let them be on some other stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably means they'll be booked again. A$AP Rocky would be underwhelming after his latest album, so wouldn't surprise me. Maybe Skepta as he backed out last year. Any idea for 1Xtra headliners? After seeing Post Malone last year I wouldn't mind going elsewhere on the Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there was a lot of metal/ pop punk on Metallica day a few years ago? I'm only basing Bastille subbing on what others have said, I wouldn't know if they shared Foos fans though. The Streets would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon theres a chance Good Charlotte will be there, but i had them pegged for about 4th down main so it seems entirely possible 1 minute ago, jamieaslee said: I hope not, TDCC have been there 2 or 3 times recently though I believe?

Yeah agree it was underwhelming, I can’t think of any other big rap acts that could do it really, skepta would be a good sub so in reality I’m hoping for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIchael_scarn Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) A$AP into The 1975 would be quite a good addition imo, I remember they collaborated on drive ages ago and that was a very nice tune. Would be a shame if he wasn't on the main stage as they'd clash him with Foos or 1975 if he was there. Edit- I misremembered it was Travis Scott.

manchestermusicreview Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 14 of those acts could be classed as ‘guitar’... nothing on the heavier side though, kinda reflects Download’s metamorphosis into an inclusive rock festival.

Can only think of Chance The Rapper or Childish Gambino that are sub size. Not sure where Anderson .Paak would fit? Doubt they'd go for someone older like Wu-Tang Edit: When does Tyler The Creator's ban end? He would be a perfect fit.

dum surfer Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Overall I’d say this is way better than this years first announcement. In fact i think it makes it pretty clear FR were having trouble with headliners this year too. i am shocked about post headlining so soon as i assumed he would of been back in 2020, but after his crowd last year I’m not surprised FR jumped on him. Is brockhampton still a possibility for main stage? I’m hoping that FR did the same with them and snapped them up after how massive a crowd they got in the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFWGKTA Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 conversation is moving pretty quickly so i’m not sure if this has already been mentioned but on an NME article it says ‘the full bill across numerous stages will be unveiled by Annie Mac on her Radio 1 show this evening at 7pm’ does that mean we’re getting a lot more names tonight as well then?

michelinj Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 I can see them announcing a big rap name at 7 for sure. Skepta, childish gambino are decent shouts but could they bring back playboi carti as he pulled out last year? Or even I think migos could sub headline. Remember Travis subbed last year and he’s a huuuuuge name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acts I would love to see there are Anderson .Paak, Tame Impala, JID, Joey Bada$$, Pusha T, JPEGMAFIA Are any of these a possibility (bar Paak as I know he did 2016) or just wishful thinking?

Can't see them clashing those two IF he's booked though. That's a shame, do they have more material on the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieaslee Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 How about Ms. Lauryn Hill? Long shot, but they booked Nas a few years ago (similar era/ fan base) and I'm pretty sure she's mid-way touring The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill anniversary. - Also, they have said they will try to book more women 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
