Lineup 2020

[Fuzzy Afro]

Are Courteeners just going to sub every 2 years for eternity now then? I was thinking they’d pocket them for a co-headline slot in 2021 (closing Leeds)

God that undercard sucks. Oh well I guess rage is enough for a ticket anyway.

Yeah awful for me but still day ticket for rage

Not sure why people are getting annoyed about this announcement? It was R1 and main stage, so of course it’s going to be the popular, potentially less inspiring 

Once upon a time those stages were packed with inspiring bands year after year... before the dark times... before I got old 😭

[jamieaslee]

Also surely theyll leave big names out so people actually check the full announcement?

Yeah I’d say it’s more of a personal thing than the festival’s problem, quite a few upcoming hip hop acts who will no doubt have loads of people excited

[Newjem]

If it is RTJ > Migos > RATM I honestly hope Migos will cancel. Cardi B, I beg you... please don't let your husband cross the ocean 😂

Still waiting on IDLES, i also think theyll announce that LG is subbing with someone cos rage 100% wouldnt, and neither would stormzy cos he did glasto. My bets on the strokes

Still have my fingers crossed for the likes of Denzel Curry, Fontains DC, IDLES, Black MIDI .etc

LG is too big to co-headline. It’s 3 individual headliners this year.

In before Sam Fender cancels

I really dont think he is, im really surprised hes a headliner honestly. Nobody actually thinks his solo stuff is good.

Tried to see him 4 times and am still yet to.

Have tickets for Ally Pally and Mad Cool but am doubting that he'll show for either.

Idles and Rage on same day would be enough to get me to return for first time since 2015. Saw Idles in Lisbon last summer only band to ever bring tears to my eyes from their performance.

[zak14]

Blows my mind to see some people in here think the Strokes aren’t just outright headliners 

[K2001]

I’ve seen Sam Fender 4 times and he’s never cancelled for me 😂😂😂

You got some luck there! Granted two were for the same Brixton gig that's been cancelled twice and is now due to be after the Ally Pally show!

LG sold out Heaton park effectively on pre sale, people missed out on getting tickets. The entirety of Heaton Park by himself, in seconds. 
 

Meanwhile Parklife can’t sell out the same field with 100 acts and you can still get tickets to pretty much any stormzy show on his world tour.

I fucking wish they were but now i know that LG is defo a headliner i just want a co headline

[Diamond24]

I really like Two Door and Courteeners but they've both played Reading way too much in recent years. Bombay Bicycle Club, Vampire Weekend and Catfish would have been good indie alternatives to sub, that haven't played the festival in a while (arguably catfish are too big to sub though)

Stormzy headlined Glastonbury in the same year Liam Gallagher subbed. 
Stormzy is miles bigger than Liam Gallagher. Not even comparable

I agree, love them to bits but have seen them about 6 times in two years. Would've loved to see Vampire Weekend as an indie act that's a bit different although it looks incredibly unlikely they'll be back in the UK until their next album cycle now.

If Bombay aren’t there that’s a surprise to me. Although maybe it’s because they’re everywhere else, and not ‘exclusive’ enough for a big slot?

Is disagree, I think Liam is just getting bigger and bigger, especially up north

[TG0000]

If you dont think Liam Gallagher can headline your deluded, 2 number 1 albums and an entire selection of songs from one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen...
