We have been saying it will be BMTH since 2018.

 

We really thought it would be Foos, BMTH + Florence, Kendrick

 

Last year we thought it would be BMTH co with 21P after they did a 2018 secret set

[Dukey]

That Boardmasters lineup is very impressive

I don’t think that even grime fans think that it’s an exciting genre, haha.

Grime is an exciting genre. 
Sincerely, a grime fan.

Would you class Grey Area as grime? I'd say it's more hip hop, but by a UK artist. Sort of like Loyle Carner. It's a great album though.

Btw, I like grime so I'm not tryna argue lol

There has been a notable lack of UK shows on the amo tour, no full tour since Nov 2018 and only 1 headline show at APE. They've also confirmed there's new music out this year, probably in the form of EPs.

Reading have built them up the lineup to headline at some point, it really makes sense for them to do it now - especially given the lack of apparent headliners available in August. 

BMTH will definitely co-headline at least.

Listen to the new Michael Kiwanuka album and tell me grime isn’t exciting.

[jonnyisRFC]

That boardmasters line up is STRONG! Not my cup of tea at all but incredibly strong. 
 

Also, I love how frank carter and the rattlesnakes are only 5th down yet they played 3rd down at Reading last year.

Id personally say its grime, it definately experiments but i think thats what makes grime exciting, although i can see why other people wouldnt say it is

How much crossover has there been in the past? I mean both of @Dan Wilcox headliners are there (obviously not rage). Stormzy will have a festival headliner show ready for R&L.

At a glance, I can see at least 10 names popping up on both bills last year. They've only shared one headliner in recent years tho - Kendrick.

Swap catfish with Lewis and I reckon that is pretty likely. Not sure about architects headlining Radio 1 though.

[R-K1D]

Bit of a taboo question, but who’s everyone’s nightmare headliner?
