I will probably grab a day tix to see The Distillers but I'm hoping they will announce a few dates around the time of Reading closer to the time.

Bastille are subbing Foos, right? 

I mean it's that or R1 headline. I think it's probably the latter.

I'm really hoping it is the latter. Get The Streets subbing Foos, please. 

Foo FIghters / The Streets / The Distillers / IDLES / Sundara Karma

Honestly I wouldn’t mind a rap sub for foos, like an ASAP/gambino/chance linda thing - they normally like a bit of variety

I wonder if they went for Drake but always had Post in their back pocket incase it fell through.

Best R1 slot they've had is fourth, and then followed it with third and sub on Main. Surely gotta be R1 headliner given they subbed only two years ago.

I think someone like that or Skepta or The Streets would actually go down really well; need someone that will hype the crowd up before Foos imo.

Foos love Royal Blood, but I'm guessing they're too big to sub, if they didn't go down a rap route?

The Distillers/ IDLES(?)/ Sundara Karma following that actually shapes up as quite a good day tbh.

How long is a HL act usually?

 

I've been pretty wasted by the time they come on usually and time then tends to fly.

 

Post has probably 15 songs that he will play as a HL and TOP have like 10 as a sub co-HL 

 

25 songs is about 2 hours?

Imagine trying to convince yourself that Foos need a rap sub.

They've had arena sized bands sub before, so they're probably not too big.

I'm so excited for Foo's.

Royal Blood subbing Foos would be a dream for me.

Foos played for 2.5 hours when I saw them in Manchester this year.

The 1975 will play for around 2 hours I'd guess.

Post Malone & ToP would be an hour each probably.

Their tour is of academies so I can't see them subbing.

Don't think they need a sub at all, one of the best bands I've seen live easily, but I do think a rap sub would go down well if they go for diversity like last year

[C14S]

Also just thought id point out that on the R&L website it says the Foos will "Bring the noise with 3 hours of blah blah"

RB played 3rd down 2015 too I believe, so would be a step up?

[Chad888]

Prediction, Posts set to be:

Deja Vu, White Iverson, I Fall Apart, Go Flex, Congratulations, Money Made me Do It, Paranoid, Spoil My Night, Rockstar, Over Now, Psycho, Better Now, Ball for Me, Candy Paint, Sugar Wraith, Jackie Chan, Sunflower, Stay (to finish)

Bastille? It’s a pre-album tour. If they were big enough to sub last year, they’re not gonna invite them back before the next album is out and say “you’re not big enough anymore”. Unbelievably wishful thinking, plus they suit Foos perfectly.

Most people aff to see Foo Fighters don’t want diversity. Whereas the R1 stage could do with something diverse from mainstream rock music to counter Foos.

At the MK Bowl it was Royal Blood - Iggy Pop - Foos, and they were third down at reading as well. Would be insane to see them into foos without someone inbetween but i feel like they may be too big at this point - then again brockhampton were 7th down on r1 last year so anything is possible

How? Theyre a posh indie bunch from london, Foos are proper rock stars from Seattle. Literally dont see any similarities besides the dad rock thing - and how many dad rockers are there at reading 

[jamieaslee]

I'm really hoping Bastille don't sub, so I can watch someone decent in that slot and get a decent place for Foos, but it does makes sense with the dad rock thing and them subbing previously.

Other people mentioned for that place were The Streets, Royal Blood, Catfish, Skepta; how realistic are these and where else would they fit in?

[pepesilvia]

it's a tale as old as time; wherever foo fighters go, dad rockers will follow

Bastille aren’t ‘dad rock’ lmao imagine your dad liking Bastille.

I like Foos and dislike Bastille but they’re both bog standard radio rock bands and the same people having a moment to Pompeii will be having a moment to Times Like These.
