Nooooo , I’m sick that day then😉

What smaller bands are people hoping play? Thinking either festival republic or early on in the Radio 1 tent.

Would personally love to see Sports Team continue their rise and can certainly see Vistas getting a higher billing this year.

 

[Jericode]

Vistas definitely, were really good last year.

Certainly were. Tent was packed as well, can only see them going from strength to strength.

Would rather see them in a packed out festival republic stage later in the day than early in an empty R1 stage though.

Sea girls also had a surprisingly packed crowd in the R1 tent last year, if they get an album out maybe could bump up to an early main stage slot? Would think that or a festival republic headline.

I don’t think RHCP will headline this year. It doesn’t look like they’re gonna have any new material out before summer, which would mean nothing new since their last headline slot. Obviously Frusciante’s return is a big deal, but by all accounts it came out of nowhere and was sorted in a few days in December, and it’s likely that R&L would have sorted all of their headliners by then.

I think RHCP would be better off doing BST or something similar for their return to the UK anyway. 

Although I enjoyed their set at Reading 2016, I don't know many people who would be as interested with them now days.

I hope they don’t tbh

I missed them last year but would definitely like them, also where would SWMRS fit do we think

I think SWMRS belong high on the festival republic/ early to mid on radio 1 to be honest. Sadly I don't think they'll get much bigger than they currently are. 

If they went back to the sound of their first album they may be able to go back to a slot in the pit.

I would say they're a bit of an outlier though with their famous links.

I enjoyed their main stage slot last year but I feel like the slot they were supposed to play would’ve had a better sound and atmosphere.

Agree with you there for sure. Only issue with being higher up on one of the small stages is that they can be incredibly empty by that point as a lot of people tend to go to the bigger headliners instead. Sadly I don't think there is much to fix that though.

Himalayas seem to like R&L so I'm sure they'll be back again.

Can't say I've heard of the others other than Marsicans so I'll have to give them a listen!

Yeah i watched The Inspector Cluzo and The Picturebooks both open for Clutch. Have since seen The Picturebooks again a few times (even got them to sign my arm which i had tattooed lol Seeing them again in March! and booked a ticket last night for The Inspector Cluzo next month. Give both of them a listen, especially The Picturebooks of the two.

But Yh I wouldn’t have seen them on FR coz of Foos clash

For sure, I don't think a clash with Foos would've done them any good whatsoever.

For a US artist they tend to be over here an awful lot at least so it isn't too hard to catch them.

I don’t think Blossoms will be back, but actually if there new album does well and goes as well as their debut could they be a co-headline shout

just realised it had autocorrected from hippo campus to happy campus

[cal321123]

VANT just released a record and small tour so I wouldn't be surprised to see him there this year, last time they played was 2017 I believe? Makes sense to me

Reckon Blossoms sub in 2021

Blossoms never seem to get quite the same reaction at Reading as they do Leeds.

Love them to bits but I think that would be a very very small crowd for a co-headliner at the Reading site.

[jonnyisRFC]

Creeper announced a new album for May, hoping they’ll be announced. Sub headlining the Pit or middle of the Radio One stage would be my guess.
