So I think that was in 2016. Probably a small enough gap to bring them back, but then I'm equally aware that's the length of time people are saying is too soon for Biffy Clyro to return.

TheWaters Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Give Limp Bizkit a similar slot to Sum 41 a couple years ago. 5th main I think? Would go down well there without being a repeat R1 headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I’m just having flashbacks to 2018 where we had sky high expectations due to a late lineup and two of the headliners were fall out boy and panic at the disco. I think people need to be open to the possibility that it might be a weak year again. The Courteeners headlining TRNSMT makes me think that reading might give them a coheadlining spot. Also Liam headlining when he’s playing hundreds of shows this summer doesn’t make me feel confident that they’ve got a strong set of headliners at the top. I reckon BMTH are just subbing (which might make the lineup look stronger) but a top 5 of Travis Scott, Biffy Clyro, Liam Gallagher, Courteeners, BMTH is what I’m expecting right now.

Five year gap is plenty for the undercard, more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit headliners besides Kendrick yet easily the strongest undercard for me in recent years though. All subjective really but yeah, I'd agree it's likely in terms of headliners we may be let down.

Different strokes for different folks but reading 2018 is probably the weakest lineup (for me) I’ve ever seen. Kendrick was probably the only act I’d get my wallet out for. I quite liked 2019’s lineup if I’m honest. It was a good save from that previous year. Edited January 13, 2020 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Scott is arguably the biggest rapper they could book in 2020 not named Drake, Liam is a god to the young R&L crowd and RHCP have a massive legacy (their day in 2016 was insanely busy) so they will always pull a giant crowd.

California was solid and brilliantly received. WTF happened between California and Nine? I really like Nine. Only listened to it the other week as I had little interest and was pleasantly surprised. If they play they should sub now I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were really good at Ape. Architects are playing Summer Breeze festival during august in Germany two weeks before reading . Again i think they are much more likely to be doing knotfest than reading or even possibly a headline slot at 2000 trees . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal321123 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I don't get why everyone is so anti Fall Out Boy and Panic on here?

KOL were the worst live performance I’ve ever seen on the other hand, looked like they would rather be anywhere but there. Wasn’t Kendrick late on stage at Leeds as well? Give me Fall Out Boy or Panic over Travis Scott anytime, although saying that, I’m just not a fan of Travis’s full stop. Will be pretty disappointed if he headlines, but kind of expecting it now. Honestly, a lineup of LG > Travis Scott/BMTH > RHCP might make me miss it this year, much as I like BMTH and RHCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Panic would smash an outright headline slot, and the only issue with Fall Out Boy was them coming back so quickly after co-headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG31 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) The thing that is really bothering me is LG playing Saturday at Reading. An artist like him usually plays on a Friday night with the rappier one on Saturday. That’s why I think we may still get a co with him FRI: RHCP - 2DCC - Sam Fender - Declan McKenna SAT: TRAVIS SCOTT/LG - Skepta - Lewis Capaldi - Slowthai SUN:BIFFY/BMTH - Vampire Weekend - IDLES - Limp Bizkit With Brockhampton, Rex Orange County and Bombay Bicycle Club R1 headliners you could always swap the Friday and Sunday as well also needs more female acts on the main stage, could be Wolf Alice, Lizzo or maybe Halsey Edited January 14, 2020 by Gerard the Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
