Lineup 2020

[Jack.194]

As expected, on to next year, wonder what will happen with the lineup? No mention of that on the email.

[Properbigfan]

Was a blandish lineup anyway.

100% correct decision to cancel.  The only name I want to be there for definite next year is Rage, and with their new tour dates, it looks hopeful.

Understatement. It was the worst line up they’ve had in years, if not ever.

US dates look promising, but the missing hints of them being carried over, makes me worried. They would have high interest in announcing them for 2021 before offering refunds. But it doesn‘t look like it...

Same with Lollapalooza and Electric Picnic. Went straight into refunds.

We all knew it was coming with these difficult times but it still hits me hard. Going to this festival for over 10 years and not flying over to Leeds and being in Bramham Park on August Bank holiday weekend is going to feel strange.

Says in the FAQ the lineup will not be the same.

[CG31]

Hit hard that, my personal 6 year run over and my Dads 25 year over. Was gonna be the first year camping as well 

Just pray for a new lineup next year with a Bring Me into Rage Sunday

[justanothername]

The fact that all posts on R&L socials about Rage have been deleted don't make me hopeful that they'll be playing next year

They’ll reset it all soon, if anything it should make you more hopeful because they then reannounce 

[Isambard]

Now just waiting on Alton Towers, Harry Potter Studios and the West End to cancel, and there’s my well planned visit home this year up the swanny ☹️

The line-up....?

[VCK]

I'm actually confident that out of the three headliners, RATM are the ones most likely to be kept on next year.

Refunds start after 26th May, all refunds by 26th June.

I wonder if the BBC will do some kind of special festival stuff in place of their coverage of Glastonbury and Reading this year? Maybe showing entire sets of legendary performances from those festivals down the years.

Maybe we could finally get the pro-shot footage of RATM's 2008 performance.

As am I, touring fits and they’re the only headliner to have all announcements removed

and I said this a couple of days ago, do either ehat they’re doing for big Weekend (which is doubtful) or just replay legendary sets (which is easier)

Was never going to be the same - if one act doesn’t come back then it’s not the same. I think it will look very similar.

I think so too. Rage’s 2021 tour knocks out all of summer except a bit at the end where they can fulfil their 2020 commitments. I would be very confident of all three repeating.

Why would they do this though if they thought otherwise, seems really strange given the tour dates work well. I imagine Stormzy is just around all summer and so is Liam.

They have a glasto documentary thing going on - seeing an oasis and ratm set broadcast instead would be good though to replace them. not sure what they would do for stormzy

But wouldn‘t it be dumb to keep it a secret before giving refunds? If they scheduled their US tour to accommodate their 2020 commitments, it has to be a done deal by now, hasn‘t it?

We’re all saying about Rage being at Reading this year and Download next but what if Reading has artists in the pipeline due to headline next year, that don’t have other commitments.
