Foals come under the genre of the festival more though is probably a key reason.

Saw Vampire Weekend this week and reckon they will be doing like victorious/latitude or something if they do festivals. The crowd was so old I think they are past their prime for Reading really.

I disagree I was also there on Thursday and I'm 19 and believe most the occupancy were around my age with a few exceptions I think they could smash a spot 3rd down or even subbing if they do take that.

I reckon if Bombay Bicycle Club play, they'll sub. I have nothing to base this on other than gut feeling.

Think they'll do the smaller festivals like Truck, Tramlines etc. their tour finishes around the usual time of the announcements for those as well I'm pretty sure.

Could see them headlining R1 though if they did play R+L.

Is funny because people say that BMTH aren't big enough to headline a major, but they also say that Foals is a headliner of major festivals like Glasto or even Reading. Looool, BMTH has a much bigger fanbase than Foals and obviously they´re bigger. 

Ludens and their new stuff will once again give them the massive recognition that they won in 2016 with TTS

Didn't Foals headline in 2016 on the What Went Down campaign? Or at least co-headline with Disclosure, if memory isn't hazy?

Are you joking? They literally put messages on the screens before the set began that both sides were full. It was rammed 

As I said, may have been busy down the front (although a video of Sicko world shows loads of movement, pits etc that you don’t get for headliners). I was back a little bit behind the sound stage and it was pretty much empty. 

It’s been confirmed above though the weather was indeed awful which would’ve put off all the casuals. We made our way to nothing but thieves which was rammed. Again probably a consequence of the weather. 

He would’ve had the smallest Reading headliner crowd I’ve ever seen (in nearly 25 years of going) if he drew that crowd today.

How far in were you? We were like maybe 20-30m back and I was surrounded by people 25+ really, a few people were younger but not loads. Definitely would smash the spot like at Glastonbury but just cannot see them being booked over more modern acts. Great show though

I would happily be one of the 6 people that would watch Bon Iver in that slot. Think it’d be even quieter than Mura Masa was this year. 

I mean they don't really fit the festival but based on popularity they would headline Radio 1 at the very least surely?

    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9
