Nah would make Idles clash with Courteeners and The Hunna largely clash with RTJ

yeh let's do that then please and thank you

[TheWaters]

Made a quick mock clash finder based on last years times and put acts where I think they’ll be with which gaps are still to be filled etc.

[VCK]

Rage clashing with IDLES is even more cruel than the Royal Blood/Chats clash last year.

[sameimpala]

Strange to me that declan mckenna using his own font 4th down on radio 1

[allyn1983]

Do you think they'll be a big enough Rage (from old school fans) following to get Courteeners bottled? Haven't seen a band being bottled for about 14 years at Reading.

*Not advocating violence, just don't wanna see Courteeners sub Rage*

Being able to see Denzel AND JPEGMAFIA or Stormzy would make that day a hell of a lot better.

Hoping there's a closing set so I get to see IDLES and RATM, but might just have to suck it up and watch Courteeners

[DomDom1984]

The reaction to this goes to show how left behind a lot of festival goers are.

prick lol

to be fair from what i’ve seen, it’s 50/50. i think a lot of teenagers are actually gassed about rage being there, and i made a point to some that even if the music’s not their thing the crowd will be mad

i mean it doesn’t work with everyone 

hahaha I follow that boi

The dance stage too looks very weak

Not sure on this one. All three acts announced for the Saturday could easily have headliner it. Hannah Wants headlined it 2 years ago now she’s 3rd down. Would say the same for Hybrid Minds too

[Nobby's Old Boots]

It is quite funny seeing some of these comments considering the smug, condescending attitude on here last night when the RATM reaction was being mocked.

Regardless of personal taste, Courteeners, Liam G and Cinnamon are clearly big enough to be in their spots. Bottle Courteeners 😂

Has there ever been a more odd pairing for headliner and sub than RATM and Courteeners? The Libertines and Kendrick in 2015, maybe, or The Cure and Paramore in 2012.

The Cure and Paramore wasnt odd for me as I liked both. Libe and Kendrick, Macklemore and Kendrick. RATM and Courtenners and generally the lineup this year, to the point I actually think Download has a better lineup that Reading and I rarely say that.

Not sure if I’m reading too much into this but there’s a bit of space between Stormzy and Migos and Gerry and D Block on the poster. Does this suggest someone could still be announced to fill in there?

Migos is subbing, its because Stormzy's name isnt over two lines.

There is a gap between Gerry and D block (Top 3 acts have their band font, not the festivals font)

[Bixer]

I'm not a lover of the lineup myself, but I can't stand this notion that more acts should've been booked in favour of others based purely on what's in between their legs.

[ob123]

The Vaccines in between Gerry and D-Block hopefully then 

[lacoste]

Lurked on here for quite a while, but what do we think the chances are of either Lizzo or Dua Lipa being added to the lineup??

[drewski999]

Likely hood of wolf Alice and neck deep? 

[VCK]

I'm a bit lost on the whole Two Door Cinema Club "special guests" thing.

True point tbf... Solardo though I am very happy with!  

And yeah Hybrid Minds have grown a fair bit, probably just me being critical for no reason.

Wonder who the TBA act is!

I reckon the TBA will be Noisia or Sub Focus. Noisia doing their big farewell tour and sub focus is deffo working on something new

I'd say almost certain on neck deep and wolf Alice also still pretty likely

Would love either although sadly don't see it happening

Me too. Surely they’d be better subs than Migos? Rap sub into rap headliner is boring 

[dum surfer]

Are two door actually third down or are they playing a lower down special guest spot like Billie did last year?

That is tragic

Potentially guest openers?

Indeed, classic internet hypocrisy 

I imagine a lot of the kids going off on one about rage, are loving the lineup and will be down the front going mad with AJ Tracey, while we all bitch about having to sit through a load of bands we wont have to sit through as they'll be other stuff to see elsewhere
