Lineup 2020

[a6l6e6x]

Quite an interesting suggestion. For me I think the below doesn't make sense

Idles playing Lockup, At this stage they could probably take a decent slot on NME
Haim into MCR doesn't have a huge crossover (I don't think)
Slowthai on 1xtra, he could fit on main stage
Architects into Lorde
I don't usually pay attention to the dance stage but those headliners all seem a bit big for it (correct me if I'm wrong)
Based on Gerrys current popularity (arena tours) I think he'd be higher up main
Liam G headlining, oh wait that's actually been announced

The Main Stage looks generally decent it's just lower down there are some odd placements. 

Deaf Havana, Slowthai and Marshmello should definitely be playing bigger slots. I also think Brockhampton and Architects would headline Radio 1, not sub (especially not Architects into Lorde imagine the scenes ?) 

[Sam Y]

Liam Gallagher tends to not do sets longer than 1 hour and 10 minutes so I think he could be co-headlining with another indie band like catfish. I reckon we could be in for another 5 headliner year.

Liam Gallagher / Catfish

Stormzy

Travis Scott / Bring me the horizon 

[Quorn]

Biffy headlining some German festivals at the start of August, I’m not losing hope

Don Broco aren't play any shows apart from Slam Dunk iirc

Steve Aoki probably too big for the dance stage? Not sure

Kaiser Chiefs would be a weird booking

Although the headliners would probably best case scenario now in terms of booking now theyve got LG, think the rumours are is that MCR arent in EU in August

[TKOCF]

Biffy headlining some German festivals in the start of August, surely they’ve got to be in contention to headline now. 
 

Liam Gallagher

Travis/BMTH

Biffy

If they can't get Slipknot/MCR, reckon they'll have booked Biffy.

[Andre91]

Where do you reckon The S.L.P. would play? I was thinking 4th down Main or subbing R1. 

[gfa]

I reckon Gerry above Wolf Alice - no way is he 4th down. Haim is a bit of a weird booking too don't think they fit the festival that well, now they are too big to be booked really. Can't see Lorde either honestly

[Rock_Cycle]

Yeah I do think I definitely put a few too low down but was being optimistic haha.

The other part was meant to be a reply

[R Shah]

Liam Gallagher / Catfish and the Bottlemen / Gerry Cinnamon / Slowthai 

R1: Idles

BMTH + Travis / All Time Low / Brockhamptom

R1: Bombay Bicycle Club 

Slipknot / Skepta / Architects / Don Broco

R1: Flume

Agreed and Liam/Travis/Biffy with BMTH subbing would actually be a good set of headliners and it looks/feels very R&L. Slipknot is more of a hopeful booking and I think a lot of people have had info of MCR being in Europe in June/July.

Got an insider source that suggests Travis Scott, Bring Me The Horizon and Gorillaz are to headline R+L alongside Liam Gallagher.

[Garlic Dead]

Could Gorillaz headline? Don't doubt there size but having seen them live they're very much dependent on a lot of guests and animation work that seems a lot of effort to pull off.

Gorillaz could absolutely headline, but whether they’re active next year is another question

They've seem to have made it work at previous festivals they've headlined. Just depends who's available at the time. 

I could see Gorillaz potentially happening. New documentary coming out. They've been active on social media more recently. Damon Albarn supposedly finished up with The Good, The Bad & The Queen, no apparent news on Blur coming back anytime soon.

I’d say your source is wrong. Gorillaz aren’t playing Reading and Leeds.

Gorillaz is a strange name to be throwing in there. Feels like it’s very leftfield but I can see it working. I’d rather have Blur though.

Two albums plus Oasis classics, if asked to fill a 90 minute slot he will.

A lot of people seem convinced that Travis and BMTH will co-headline together. I'm a bit out of the loop so is there anything suggestive that this will happen?

No way Gorillaz headline imo, very little appeal to the target R&L audience compared to other potential options. 

[thefestileak]

Gorillaz. Unexpected, I know. What about the unexpected booking of Fall Out Boy in 2018, no one would've guessed that. Post Malone this year, no one thought he'd come back so soon. Past couple years, R+L have thrown some curveballs. And Gorillaz is this years. Wait until the announcement.

There was meant to be an announcement of all 4 headliners at once in January. With some other names, sort of the same as it was announced for this years event.
