Personally, a BMTH/Foals co-headline on Friday with Travis Scott headlining Sunday. Would be perfect for me that. Ideally LG drops out and gets replaced by RATM too

All Time Low are teasing something, and seems about the right time for them to bring a new album out. Potential main stage slot, or maybe even a Radio 1 headline slot?

I'd recon if they book All time low, they would also book Blink 182 too to play on the same day to fit simple creatures on the bill! Otherwise I could defo see them doing a tour together in the summer considering they both havnt toured the UK properly in a year

Be a class day that.

Chemical Brothers are way too big for that slot (Although that set would be insane in the tent - sorry biffy!) also Flume headlined R1 in 2017 so not sure that dance tent slot would happen. Seems like Lizzo has outgrown the tent, maybe swap her with Idles.

Can't see Michael Kiwanuka at reading would be deserted that set surely

Anyone fancy Harry Styles getting announced for the main stage this year? 2 albums now and a massive young people audience, would definitely sell tickets.

 

also, is Tyler The Creator still able to maybe do R&L when he’s signed up to do Parklife and Lovebox?

would be so good 

[SomeoneListeningIn]

A quick google would tell you that Harry styles is in America over the r&l weekend.

[Billyhursty]

Julian Casablancas confirmed new album for The Strokes for this year. Are they still a possibility?

[Jericode]

Probably puts them in the frame at least.

[The All Round Ball :|]

Im jsut hoping we get an annoucement this month

[CG31]

So i made a lineup ages ago about this year. This was before LG announcement but i just found it and thought I'd share it. Its very optimistic but please don't judge.

Fri: MAIN Strokes/CATB - Dave - Sam Fender - Nothing But Thieves - Krept & Konan with Lil Nas X opening 

       R1 BBK - Jorja Smith(i got lost) - Yungblud

PIT : Fever 333 , FR : Lily Allen , DANCE : Example , 1XTRA : Kano.

 

Sat: MAIN Stormzy - Chase and Status - Lewis Capaldi - The Amazons - Madness!?

        R1 Glass Animals - IDLES - Songhoy Blues (who are epic but will prolly never play, but i couldnt think of anyone else)

PIT : Creeper , FR : Kaiser Chiefs , DANCE : Pendulum (DJ set) , 1XTRA : Wiley

 

Sun: MAIN My Chemical Romance - Haim - Architects - Elbow - Jimmy Eat World

         R1 The Chemical Brothers or J Cole - Aitch - D Block Europe

PIT : Asking Alexandria , FR : Django Django , DANCE: Annie Mac , 1XTRA : Lethal Bizzle

 

i also decided secret sets across the weekend from:

Wolf Alice, Blink 182, Giggs, Thursday, Florence Welch (solo), alt-j and Pulp playing part of MCRs encore.

 

Like i said please don't judge but i thought these placings were pretty spot on even if those people wouldn't play

Can't see R&L just sacking off the already announced Liam Gallagher headline slot...

 

Main stage placings probably not too far off but Lewis C would probably sub and sadly can't see Elbow ever playing again and they'd sub if they did

The dude literally said "This was before LG announcement but i just found it and thought I'd share it."...

[wro_lap]

Realistically, what headliners do we still have in the frame?

 

announced: LG

probable: BMTH

others: Travis Scott, Biffy, The Strokes... any others?

I would say Biffy and Bring Me are probable as they both haven't been announced at any UK festival yet, Biffy have an album due and are pretty much a house band while playing Germany early August. I'm thinking:

BIFFY CLYRO

LIAM GALLAGHER

TRAVIS SCOTT // BRING ME THE HORIZON

Are CATB and Foals still reasonable shouts and RHCP as well. Stromzy, AM and MCR could all still suprise us, its extremely improbable but yh
