I wouldn't say out of the question but they did headline Reading fairly recently in 2017. They might be more interested in other festivals, returning to Glastonbury or doing a big Stadium/outdoor show instead.

They could do trnsmt as they didn't do Scotland on this tour. They played Glastonbury in 2016.

Billie Eilish’s crowd yesterday was massive. I know there was no real clashes but that was mental. I’ll be very surprised if they don’t bring her back to co-headline in 2020

Impressive especially as it was the hottest part of the day and if the act playing isn't must see a good portion would dip out for shade, tents and other things.

If Foals aren't headlining Glastonbury and it ends up with someone like the 1975 instead, I would bet they end up headlining Reading and Leeds.

Foals, Queens of the Stone Age and Stormzy?

To fit the newer balance of the festival.

Tame Impala are a good shout as well.

Also that BMTH didn't headline on this year of the album cycle, might make 2020 less likely for them though.

That trio would sell shite

I was going to say, I'm not a fan really but it's not majorly my age base but i can easily see her being booked again in the same vein as Post was, it's another easy ticket seller and she'll accept a sub slot no problem. I think Glastonbury may rebook her too if she's around then, could see her subbing Other/doing 3rd on Pyramid.

Changed my mind. Not Foals, Catfish.

[thewayiam]

I actually think Catfish will sub and not headline, not sure they are quite there. I also think they'll play Glastonbury, they seem to be a popular booking and probably only played 3rd down.

[Blaxey]

When they usually start to sale tickets?¿?

My thoughts with catfish are if they managed to secure Billie, Travis and the Killers the fest is pretty certain to sell out - so they may be more open to taking a chance on catfish.

Not when Billie is pulling crowds like this

[BeddingatReading]

Why are so many people predicting Travis Scott? He only co-headlined last year so why would they rush him back again? I hope it’s not him personally.

He didn’t coheadline, he subbed. Also Melvin seems to absolutely love him so I’m sure he’ll be booked to (co)headline as soon as he’s got a new album out. He’d pair well with Billie, which is probs why so many are predicting it.

He Coheadlined with FOB didn’t he?. I tried to look online but I couldn’t find anything that says either way but the same font size to me says Co-headliner...

Nah he was a sub. The poster was just weird last year.

[BeddingatReading]

Not good at predictions but I’ll just go with the headliners. 

 

Stormzy

Liam Gallagher / Billie Eilish

Green Day 

 

Maybe swap out Billie for BMTH if Billie subs Stormzy

I still think Liam is a shout and Billie under him actually works, I think you'd guarantee a sell out. Works more than subbing Stormzy for me, he needs someone very similar if he does it under him and I don't think she's it....I do think although I'm not a huge fan that she is 100% better to watch too.

Killers 

Catfish And The Bottlemen

The Amazons

Travis Scott

Sam Fender 

 

 

 

Slipknot 

Bullet for my Valentine 

Frank Turner

Saw quite a lot of Slipknot shirts around, didn't really think they'd have many fans among the current Reading audience so that was a pleasant surprise. Definitely could be headline candidate for next year...

Personally, I feel Liam is the most likely of all headliners. I can’t see any reason for them to not have him, he’s massively popular with the current “dark fruits” demographic and he’s pretty much sold out his whole arena tour. I don’t want him just because of the crowd he attracts (no disrespect to anyone, I don’t mind his music I just don’t like the typical fans who try and mosh to every band and just act like general dickheads all day)

[jonnyisRFC]

Maybe the fact Dave kept hinting about Oasis getting back together means he may know something we don’t...

They do owe R&L after 2008. Could they headline R&L outright like they have been at Download? Maybe a co-headline slot with someone like BMTH.

Or Tool.
