Dan doesn’t say they turned down. Just that they were asked

Can’t complain about that personally, a poor top end of stages but probably the best undercard for me in the last few years

Yeah agree with that one, 2018 had a stacked undercard for me, would rather have plenty of acts to see all through the day rather than one mega act at the end of the night

Did R&L get lucky, ask RATM and they said yes?

Also who pulled out Dan. Who backed out?

[TKOCF]

Not surprised they asked Billie, suppose it’s similar to Posty last year. 
 

God I hope they haven’t Spunked the budget on Eminem.

Im 16 and AM are probably the most relevant indie band out there. Most people I know at college like them even if they ain't into that type of music 

Yeah in this country without a doubt, they're one of my favourite bands so would take them in a heartbeat, would please the dark fruit twitter too so they'd be a great booking even if their last set didn't go down too well (i wasn't there but heard it was a flop) for the time being i'm assuming its Eminem / LG / Arctic Monkeys but with all the rumours floating about that's changing every hour

if they can reportedly spend upwards of six million on Kendrick they won't be spending more on Eminem this year seeing as he was supposedly less than that in 2017, if they've got a big money act more than Kendrick it will be RATM

[wro_lap]

Partially based on this last info ruling out RHCP, I think it’ll be Stormzy/Liam/Biffy with the possibility of RATM jumping on for Biffy/Biffy co-headlining with Liam

Don't lol You'll get @Gerard the Fab back on it haha He'd have The Fratellis-LG-MCR as the headliners lol

That is heavenly 

[foolee]

Personally think our set of headliners will be Eminem/LG/Biffy if the guy in the sziget thread is right about Em headlining there

dunno if biffy can headline outright.. didn't they co headline a few years ago when they were bigger than they are now

I agree, but that year they co headlined with FOB who came back just two years later to do it outright and probably did as much since then as Biffy have now.

[wro_lap]

Eminem would be a pretty boring booking imo

[mttJ]

Surely they couldn’t justify paying a shit load for Eminem again. 

[Bixer]

Maybe I’m just getting old, but I’ll take Eminem over Stormzy or Travis Scott as the rap headliner any day. 
 

Yeah his more recent stuff isn’t great, but his older stuff is better than anything either of them will ever do. 

[The_Ledgerwood]

Hello. Long time reader (of this forum) and festival goer, (reading and Leeds every year since 2010).

I don't know if Dan's info is correct or not, but I just don't see Stormzy being there with a tour literally the same week the festival ends. I also don't think that Reading is something he wants to do after Glastonbury. 

 

We know about Liam, but in what world is Liam Gallagher as a solo act a strong booking? It isn't. It's lazy. His solo stuff isn't great and he's a bit past it live. Anyone remember him subbing a few years ago? 

 

Also, I don't believe RATM. Don't ask me why, I just don't see it. 

 

There's no way BMTH will not be there. I'm pretty sure they're going to headline, and they would be nuts not to. 

 

I think the delay is because they have got MCR. MCR have a massive gap and do not start in the States until September 9th. They've sold out 93,000 tickets in a matter of seconds and their fanbase is huge. 

 

Prediction: 

 

BMTH//Liam G + Courteeners//MCR

 

Also anyone find it funny that Travis Scott is listed as playing wireless on Google? There's also a tweet somewhere that says Post Malone is at Reading on the friday too... 

[jonnyisRFC]

Post Malone isn’t playing 3 years in a row lol.

I didn't say he was. 

 

If you search #randl20 on Twitter this comes up.

No one that I'm aware of. 

[CG31]

Dan has really chucked this whole thing in the air but I agree with @The_Ledgerwood I don’t think BMTH would turn down headlining( all signs say they have but who knows) and I think LG would co

Stormzy-BMTH/LG-MCR??
