My point was that they should be outright headliners if they churn out another #1 album  should have put that in.

I see. In that case I agree.

They could have been reasonable headliners if they avoided Glastonbury and played Reading in 2017 but I guess that's how their tour was mapped out, and they share management with Arctic Monkeys so I guess they'll know what they're doing. A primetime Pyramid slot might be more beneficial than a R+L headline slot anyway nowadays.

I reckon their long term plan is to headline Glastonbury not Reading. Settling for a sub spot this year when they easily could have waited until 2020 (when the album would probably be out) and try and get a headline spot then is quite strange. 

Perhaps they are hoping that if they can promote this new album and make it a hat trick Glastonbury might give them the call? I don’t think it will happen but if they really wanted to headline reading I doubt they would be playing this year.

I reckon Foals will headline Glastonbury.

After seeing them steal the show at 2000 Trees, I feel like Yonaka, Dream State and Vukovi deserve early main stage slots at Download and/or Reading next year.

This. Didn't get to catch Vukovi unfortunately but Yonaka and Dream State were both brilliant, and would both go down really well on Main Stage at Reading imo.

“Coheadline as the closing act” but not big enough to headline? ?

Fuck I know the difference between an arena tour and some forest shows and what-not, and that’s why I said “Foals’ last arena tour”. ? They’ll be in arenas again soon enough.

I have said myself that they could coheadline if there’s another act that Reading would otherwise miss out on (Liam Gallagher? QOTSA?) but there’s no barrier to them headlining on their own and they’re not just gonna put Two Door Cinema Club as a headliner to consolidate it.

Errm, yeah - the larger co-headliner, so they'd close the set, like Kendrick did last year - we're literally describing what co-headlining is here lol

Having said that, I'd personally love to see them headline outright

Nah, normally they switch.

Do you not think Kendrick Lamar could have headlined outright?

Biffy and fall out boy co headlined in 2016 but Biffy closed both sites.

Doesn't seem as though Posty/ ToP will switch, but ik they usually do

Yes definitely, think it's a shame he kept to his usual tour set instead of creating something different for festivals. - Worked brilliantly in Birmingham Arena, his set felt lacking at Leeds and there are so many great tracks he doesn't play

Tbf there's been just as many non-switching coheadliners now.

He definitely could have headlined outright and I think he would have if he didn't have such a short set, I swear it was only about an hour maybe even less than that?

Ugh catfish above Tame Impala would be tragic but I can see it

why are giggs, tdcc and vampire weekend on r1? giggs and tdcc are solid subs by now i'd of thought and vampire weekend too if it were more their crowd, but definitely r1 headline/third

I think the killers are more likely next year instead of bring me the horizon and two door cinema club should be subbing instead of sketpa

[dentalplan]

Now it appears they are in fact working on a new album, I can see R+L sniffing around The Strokes for one of the headline slots. That APE sellout won't go unnoticed, and I imagine they'd still go down fairly well with the younger crowd now.

[Tom Connolly]

just want BMTH to headline, they’d absolutely absolutely smash it. the APE slot was a 10/10

[gabrielomachado]

what about a The Strokes/BMTH co-headline? both bands plays short sets

BMTH can play their short sub set on another day instead of bothering Strokes fans.

[Jericode]

Formal petition to end co-headlining forever in 2020.

Bombay, TDCC, Giggs and Vampire Weekend all way too low in my opinion

Could see Billie Eilish as sub and headliners look realistic.

Surely there’s no was Catfish are playing above Tame Impala though? (However I may be slightly biased)

There's a lot wrong with this as other people have pointed out but I wanna just say how slick this poster looks. Very nice layout

I love the Strokes but like I don't think so - would absolutely love it to see them there but I don't think its their crowd at all anymore unfortunately, Strokes are expensive as well compared to other options. We don't even know they will be around next year doing festivals as they are so weird with touring (mind you they only play festivals now) this year was the perfect year for them I think with their first 3 albums setlist - ideal for R&L. If they had to co with Pulp in 2011 surely they can't headline now though i don't know? lets see what happens with this album but I think TRNSMT might be a better option or IOW. Anything but BMTH honestly though.
