Might be someone else, would A$AP headline R&L? I can't see it myself.

There isn’t really anyone else

[Jericode]

Can't see Rocky headlining R&L, I admittedly don't know if he's actually gotten any bigger but his last album performed worse and had worse reviews.

Even then if he ends up at Wireless I doubt he'll do both.

Wow

Why are there so many little people 😂😂

Those three headliners are massive ticket selling names.

Been told Liam Gallagher is co-headlining. He isn't outright.

 

F knows who with though or if he is first or last.

 

They haven't revealed anything else but he completely messed it up revealing it when he did and they've gone in to damage control so kept shtum on the other names until (expected) the big reveal on R1 Jan Slam give away end of the month (so this week reveal).

 

 

massive disrespect to Liam if he co-headlines, understandable if it’s a reactionary decision.

Not really, no one thought he was big enough to headline before he was announced. A co-head is still a step up from where he was

[Rhysob99]

After seeing the Parklife poster that is circulating Twitter and seeing that KSI's name is on there. what are the chances he could be at R&L? maybe on the Radio 1Xtra stage/Alternative stage?

[jumperofftheshelf]

How come Liam’s not big enough though? He’s done and sold out Finsbury Park, Old Trafford, subbed at Glasto, is doing Heaton Park ... granted not the strongest headliner but surely big enough?

[Sgby98]

If limp bizkit are there then all is forgiven for taking this long to announce anything substantial

Yeah but he's also doing Latitude which is a third of the size of Reading, which just makes it look even weaker when it's shared.

Can deffo see KSI being booked to headline the 1xtra. Would be the sort of shit corny thing R&L would do.

Gotta love a bit of Down Like That....

[Chad888]

Imagine a cheap and uninspiring booking like LG is so that they can splurge a load of money on some classic acts.

 

Metallica // Liam Gallagher + BMTH // Kids See Ghosts

 

Or even

 

RHCP // Liam Gallagher + Blink 182 // Drake + Gorrilaz

‘where he was’, yes.... at the time he had one solo album out and a sold out tour. Since then he sold out finsbury, sold out old trafford had another number 1 record, sold out an even bigger tour and shifted 65k tickets on one day for heaton park. I think he’s certainly capable of headlining.

The Killers headlined Latitude the other year, are they a weak headliner?

Liam is 100% worthy of headlining after all he’s accomplished these past few years and if you can’t objectively see that regardless of your personal opinion then there’s something wrong.

I'm not arguing doing Latitude makes you weaker, I'm saying Reading booking the same headliner as a festival a third of their size makes it look a weaker booking for them.

I feel like it makes Latitude look stronger rather than making Reading look weaker

Hmmm...I can see that perspective actually but not with the choice of booking. Liam is a strong headliner and will shift tickets. 
 

If they were sharing Chemical Brothers I’d agree it was a weak booking.

[The All Round Ball :|]

What are peoples thoughts on Orville Peck? Any appearances at R&L 2020? Would be class if so.

[JSmurphy]

Talk of blink-182 playing in Europe in early summer, but here they are in the US early June.

Concerning. 

Surely they haven't..

That second one just wouldn't happen, it would sell out with RHCP, Liam G and Drake easily and even just them would cost a fortune, RHCP and Drake cannot be cheap.
