Lineup 2020

[gabrielomachado]

they are only playing a few concerts, can see them playing in a high spot as a UK exclusive for 2020

Ngl I’m 19 and Biffy would be pretty dead among my age group there not legendary and sadly I think they made there peak in 2016 at Reading.

Reckon we’ll get Fever 333 on the main stage. We could prob get architects also but they’re way way way overdue a slot at download now and should just do that instead.

Are we all pretty much in consensus that the headliners will be Travis Scott, Liam Gallagher, Bring Me The Horizon and Biffy Clyro in whatever combination? 

No.

[Andre91]

Architects are back in the frame then. I think they could get a sub push like BMTH in 2015. I don’t think that’d be too far fetched. However, I’m totally biased so third down or NME headliner is likely more realistic. They won’t be at Download. 

I think we will also get FEVER 333 on the Main Stage as well as I Prevail. Stray From The Path showing up on the Pit again would be nice. 

Not R&L related but I think lineup makes Amon Amarth and Static-X almost certain to show up at Knotfest.

Are architects really that big? Shows how out of touch I am with kerrang lol

I’m beginning to feel that it’s getting less and less likely that we will get an announcement before Christmas.

I've resigned myself to that fact lol

According to that German festival's fb post, Architects will play only 2 shows in Europe next year and I don't think Reading & Leeds are considered as one show...

They played Ally Pally last year and Wembley Arena this year. Ally Pally sold out completely quite a bit in advance and Wembley was really full (the very back was curtained off). 

They're as big as Horizon were when they subbed.

I’m 21 and agree pal. I do like them but very few of my friends would have any interest in seeing them

Probably agree on this one too - for all the people who like indie they aren't as exciting as Arctics or Catfish for example - I think if they aren't huge then Reading should only bother with new indie headliners/comebacks

As a 21 year old I half agree. A lot of people around this age don’t care about biffy, but the ones that do, absolutely love them 

[Metalupyourass97]

I'm 22 I'd prefer biffy over a lot of headliners but I'm not overly fussed about them either, hoping they're holding out with the announcement because they've got someone big and not because they're still fucking around tryna get someone to play

[Jericode]

Quietly hoping at this point that they're embargoed on MCR like everyone else 

[TornShaun]

Happy Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas all  enjoy the BMTH headline set in 2020.

Buffy Clyro is a really uninspired choice 

Liam Gallagher will barely sell tickets, BMTH have been pushed so hard through the years up the scale. 7 performances each moving up the ladder, subbing in  2015 and then a secret set in 2018.

 

But BMTH wont sell tickets either, they're very niche. They dont have the pulling power of eminem, RHCP, Green Day, Foo Fighters, even Post Malone.

 

Travis Scott isnt a ticket mover either, he cant get number 1s or much radio play and his songs arent repeatable bangers. Co headline spot filler at most. People like Drake would get tickets moving immediately.

 

J Cole has an album coming out soon and I predict it is going to absolutly slam. I think he is co-headline worthy and he will be cheap like LG and BMTH. With that said I can see a huge rock band ala Foo Fighters to close on the Sunday.

 

J Cole + BMTH // Billie Eilish

Liam Gallagher // The Streets

Queens of the Stone Age // Tyler the Creator
