Foals could sub Liam? Also could see the strokes being a secret. I can also see Lewis Capaldi, Glass Animals, Little Simz, Loyal Carner and Jade Bird playing.

[jamieaslee]

Thinking of getting a Leeds friday ticket and possible upgrading it to a weekend ticket, can you do that relatively easily or will I have to sell it and get the weekend ticket seperately?

[Quorn]

What do we think are the odds of Glass Animals being added? Playing APE and Sziget and haven’t played R+L in a while

Thought they'd be in the initial announcement. Really hope they can slot in somewhere on the friday so we can get Tokyo Drifting with Denzel.

Don't see that happening, Foals have already co-headlined the festival. They aren't gonna take a sub slot, they are a bigger and better headliner than Liam.

I do think something is a little off with Gerry into Liam though. Surely he's too small to be second down? 

It feels like they booked Gerry Cinnamon far too quickly as soon as he started gaining hype, like tried to get him as soon as possible. 

Otherwise it would be a weak sub into a weakish headliner, reckon they'll jam someone in between Gerry and Liam.

Foals are subbing Liam at TRNSMT so they could do it without turning so many heads although i do believe they're major festival headliners and don't understand why they're now accepting lower slots, i wouldn't mind having Rocky from that Sziget lineup play underneath Liam though

Yeah. They keep accepting either lower slots, or headlining smaller festivals. Mark my word, they aren't gonna sub after co-headlining in 2016, especially being the bigger co-headliner.

I was thinking they go in there, but I can’t see All Time Low playing 5th idk

I also think Lewis will be billed  as a special guest like 2 door and play a. Lower slot maybe after D Blocj Europ

and I agree I think we could see Skepta into LG still

True and in regards to under LG, Vampire Weekend a shout??

I don’t think so. I think Skepta but hoping for foals

[Miyn]

Foals aren't going to happen. They co-headlined in 2016. They've had two albums since then that went #2 and #1 in the UK respectively. They are not gonna take a slot under Liam, not a chance.

Because he pulled out 2 years ago, and I can’t see him playing anywhere else across the weekend

yh the only way we get Yannis and the gang now is through a secret set so unlikely

Not much to say he's coming this year though. Skepta into Liam seems really odd to me, not much overlap of fans?

[NerdsNatterings]

Gerry is subbing ffs... he is huge and is doing massive shows already this year, he is more than big enough to sub.

[TheWaters]

Doubt it’ll be Skepta. He’s headlining Wireless, headliners there don’t tend to play R&L in the same year.

He'd be considered a "weak" sub. Liam is riding the wave of Oasis, so having Gerry subbing Liam would be pretty underwhelming.

They’re subbing him at trnsmt

Yeah, wierd. But my main point is that they have previously headlined. It just wouldn't make sense for them to come back 4 years after they had played that high on the bill then to sub.

[R Shah]

Gerry will sub LG with Wolf Alice 3rd down methinks.

They’ve also been headlining much smaller festivals. As much as I like them I think they have now become sub size. They’re just not as relevant with the crowd

[Properbigfan]

Asap to sub LG

He shifts tickets like crazy. Just because he has had a quick rise, doesn't mean he's a weak sub. He fits in fine as a sub, just look at the tour he's doing at the start of summer. And I agree that Liam might be a slightly weak headliner but him and Gerry will still sell a fuck tonne of tickets because they're both absolutely huge rn, and it might not be the most appealing day to some people but it honestly doesn't look any weaker than a lot of the days they've put on the last few years.

 

Also, regarding Foals, I definitely don't think they're currently headline level. They dropped to smaller festivals last year and at This is Tomorrow in Newcastle they sold about half as many tickets as Noel Gallagher or Stereophonics. I feel like they weren't the strongest headliner (or coheadliner) back in 2016 and they haven't really remained at headliner status for Reading, especially with subbing TRNSMT this year. If they were to sub, they wouldn't look out of place.
