I see. In that case I agree. They could have been reasonable headliners if they avoided Glastonbury and played Reading in 2017 but I guess that's how their tour was mapped out, and they share management with Arctic Monkeys so I guess they'll know what they're doing. A primetime Pyramid slot might be more beneficial than a R+L headline slot anyway nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A primetime Pyramid slot might be more beneficial than a R+L headline slot anyway nowadays. I reckon their long term plan is to headline Glastonbury not Reading. Settling for a sub spot this year when they easily could have waited until 2020 (when the album would probably be out) and try and get a headline spot then is quite strange. Perhaps they are hoping that if they can promote this new album and make it a hat trick Glastonbury might give them the call? I don’t think it will happen but if they really wanted to headline reading I doubt they would be playing this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart Attack Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 After seeing them steal the show at 2000 Trees, I feel like Yonaka, Dream State and Vukovi deserve early main stage slots at Download and/or Reading next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Didn't get to catch Vukovi unfortunately but Yonaka and Dream State were both brilliant, and would both go down really well on Main Stage at Reading imo.

Fuck I know the difference between an arena tour and some forest shows and what-not, and that’s why I said “Foals’ last arena tour”. ? They’ll be in arenas again soon enough. I have said myself that they could coheadline if there’s another act that Reading would otherwise miss out on (Liam Gallagher? QOTSA?) but there’s no barrier to them headlining on their own and they’re not just gonna put Two Door Cinema Club as a headliner to consolidate it. Errm, yeah - the larger co-headliner, so they'd close the set, like Kendrick did last year - we're literally describing what co-headlining is here lol Having said that, I'd personally love to see them headline outright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem as though Posty/ ToP will switch, but ik they usually do Yes definitely, think it's a shame he kept to his usual tour set instead of creating something different for festivals. - Worked brilliantly in Birmingham Arena, his set felt lacking at Leeds and there are so many great tracks he doesn't play Edited July 15, 2019 by jamieaslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely could have headlined outright and I think he would have if he didn't have such a short set, I swear it was only about an hour maybe even less than that?

dentalplan Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Now it appears they are in fact working on a new album, I can see R+L sniffing around The Strokes for one of the headline slots. That APE sellout won't go unnoticed, and I imagine they'd still go down fairly well with the younger crowd now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Strokes but like I don't think so - would absolutely love it to see them there but I don't think its their crowd at all anymore unfortunately, Strokes are expensive as well compared to other options. We don't even know they will be around next year doing festivals as they are so weird with touring (mind you they only play festivals now) this year was the perfect year for them I think with their first 3 albums setlist - ideal for R&L. If they had to co with Pulp in 2011 surely they can't headline now though i don't know? lets see what happens with this album but I think TRNSMT might be a better option or IOW. Anything but BMTH honestly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
