Haha, even The Amazon’s are getting tired of waiting. They really are just messing with us now.

Maybe they wanna know what slot there playing and who they’re playing with 🤔

Okay well that RHCP rumour didn't last very long if this is anything to go by, guess we're back to: Travis + BMTH / Liam Gallagher / ?

I remember when we had to wait until March/April for the first line-up announcement. You kids have it easy these days!

Eminem’s new album is banging! I reckon he’s nailed on for headliner if he’s not at glasto! 

so that’s liam and eminem one space left

no no

Eminem's new album is full of quite a few mediocre songs but there's also some very good songs up there too, pleasently suprised seeing as I haven't rated much of Ems recent stuff

His last headline was only 2017 though so don't see him likely to come back for another year or two, but you never know with Reading 

[gabrielomachado]

i know Em headlined only 3 years ago but in this time he released three albuns (Revival was released in late 2017) so he will have a lot of new songs to play

don't think many will be fighting for him to play any songs off of those three new albums

[TheWaters]

Eminem hasn’t made a good album for atleast 16 years and you cannot change my mind. All down to opinions though I guess, not hating on anyone who likes the newer stuff.

For those clamouring for him to headline again however, why? He was awful headlining just 3 years ago. The man’s known for sub-par live performances.

I do really like MMLP2 but since then i haven't personally liked anything he has released, for an artist who's older stuff i like so much it's surprising that there isn't a single song across three consecutive albums that i actually like, although i haven't gotten all the way through his newest but based on the ones i've heard Em just isn't for me anymore. If he performed this year (which i don't believe he will) i'd 100% be there and i'd enjoy the classics but he's not on my wishlist

Can see a huge shock coming someone no one was expecting or someone everyone seemingly ruled out

Yeah that's fair. I agree there are some really good songs on MMLP2 (I love the one with Kendrick) but for me the last great full album was back in the early 2000's. Yeah Revival was dire, Kamikaze wasn't much better and today I took up the task of listening to the new one in the hopes it was better (Spoiler: it's not). I saw him at Reading 2017 purely for the old bangers but it felt so underwhelming. Guted as well, missed Flume for him and am still yet to see Flume.

Hmmm

[Andre91]

Can’t see The Strokes hanging around from June - August so that’s probably them out.

They're always back and forth - they did a couple in May and July this year then US fest early Aug then came back for Irish festival at end of Aug.

@dentalplan knows the score. They play wherever pays them full fee.

If Reading are going to give them their full fee and a headline spot they will play.

The XX posted at the end of last year that they had all been working on new music this year and made it sound as if they'll be doing their own separate things this year, would love for Jamie XX to headline the R1 against Liam, make it happen Melvin

People get more impatient by the year, lineups are generally getting earlier and earlier.

[TornShaun]

Wouldn't mind seeing Goody Grace somewhere on the lineup!
