Queen_of_rabbits Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm curious if it is Biffy or not. They've played R&L three times since 2010, twice as headliner, surely it would be a disappointing booking? Sure they have album out soon and they've not done a lot of big 10k+ shows since their arena tour in 2016 but surely it would be anti-climatic? Maybe I'm wrong but the fact they aren't doing a festival outside a promo (Big Weekend) in Scotland, makes me think they're doing an arena tour this summer instead? It's been almost four years since they played the Hydro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfrancis1989 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Are we ruling out Eminem?? Just he’s had 2 albums since last time he played. And his latest album has gone straight in at No.1 Could he be a bit of a dark horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well if that's the case: Billie Eilish, Green Day and FOB have confirmed tour dates during the festival so they're definitely out. Stormzy and Slipknot are surely our based on tour date proximity, and MCR will have already played in the UK. RHCP supposedly have all their dates amount but that doesn't seem to be confirmed. Muse, AC/DC, Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys have no tour dates announced, I think. I'm sure Muse have said they're doing limited dates this year and Arctic Monkeys I'm sure said there weren't any more shows until the next album was out. AC/DC are surely Download bound if they come over at all. Thom Yorke and EOB seem to be touring separately until July though which probably makes Radiohead the most likely at the moment.

Damn would absolutely love Radiohead, can't see it happening though. Can't imagine it would go down well with most 16-25 year olds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well it's down to them or RHCP in my opinion based on Dan's statement. Chilis are definitely the more likely if they have more dates to add, Yorke and EOB could easily add more separate tour dates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.gibbard Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 This is what I am predicting: Biffy//Travis + Liam Gallagher//Gorillaz Some artists I'd love to be there: Denzel Curry, Run the Jewels, Sam Fender, BROCKHAMPTON, Bombay Bicycle Club, Tyler the Creator, Vince Staples, Tame Impala, Death Grips (absolutely no chance but I've been loving them recently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester21 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I really mega want MCR to headline and still grasping on any sort of now cuz I cannee afford to go see them in MK cuz I’d rather be able to afford Leeds fest. who else is likely to show up on the main stage after seeing who’s playing other festivals, would love to see Tyler as well but I think he’s Parklife and Lovebox exclusive right?

R-K1D Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 So the likeliest headliners (along with LG) are:? BMTH Blink 182 Travis Scott Biffy Clyro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna see them, just go to MK. They're not headlining. There's no point either, they have three stadium dates to sell now. What's the point in then announcing for R&L? Imagine how many punters would be annoyed and how little appeal it would have (because anyone who wanted to see them probably bought one of the, what, 60k tickets? now on sale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Scott/BMTH Liam Gallagher RHCP/Biffy Clyro Travis Scott Co-headlined 2 years ago. We rule out Kendrick for that very reason. He wont be there. Dan Wilcox giving that info as "one is 100% wrong" play on words that one I said was 100% not playing (i said RHCP said they wont, not 100%). I reckon it will be Stormzy and they wait to let his shows sell out. Reading Fri/Leeds Sat >> BMTH + Biffy Clyro Reading Sat/Leeds Sun >> Liam Gallagher + Blink 182 Reading Sun/Leeds Fri >> Stormzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukecork Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) MCR Have 2 more mainland Europe shows to announce and that's it before they head home for their US tour. Feel free to travel to see them as they'll not be at L&R, no more holding on its dead and buried.

CG31 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Ik I spout a lot of shite on this thread, but I am honestly dead set that there will be 5 headliners. Taking into consideration tour dates and the fact MCR aren’t playing, and what Dan has just said I think the headliners will be 5 of these Co-Headliners: BMTH,Travis Scott,Blink,Biffy,RHCP(if no new music is released),Foals maybe,Courteeners, Gorillaz maybe obviously one co headlines with LG Outright headliners(left-field as well): RHCP(if new music is released), Radiohead, AC/DC(which would be left field and could see BMTH subbing a heavy Sunday), Gorillaz, Stormzy, Slipknot I think rn the one I it’ll be is Biffy/BMTH Travis/LG Gorillaz What I’d like and could maybe see: Gorillaz/Biffy (Gorillaz closing both) Travis/LG( LG closing Leeds, Travis closing Reading) ACDC with a Bring Me sub Feel free to lament me for stupidity but if we’re still looking for a left field AC/DC or Gorillaz are the best options Edited January 30, 2020 by Gerard the Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Scott/BMTH Liam Gallagher RHCP/Biffy Clyro I find this assertion slightly bizarre though a lot of people seem to be parroting it. You realise Biffy's last album went straight to #1, right? Never mind that they headlined IoW last year, along with TRNSMT and Download the year before. If they're playing, they'll be headliners. The only reason they were co-headliners in 2016 was because a bigger band (Radiohead?) pulled out at the last moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
