Lizzo is the biggest one i can think of, in more ways than one...

Is there really a need for a comment like that in today’s times?

wtf mate

[jamieaslee]

So then, what are people's days shaping up like, despite the awful clashes?

Mine's something like...

FRIDAY: Slowthai / RTJ / Fever 333 or IDLES or Courteeners 🙄 / RATM

 - I'm guessing Creeper & HO99O9 will clash with some of these so left them out.

SATURDAY: As It Is/ All Time Low/ Hybrid Minds/ Denzel Curry or JPEGMAFIA

SUNDAY: Fontaines D.C/ Sonny Fodera/ Rex Orange County or Danny Brown

- Hopefully Wolf Alice are 3rd down main, as this days pretty poor so far.

 

 

Are there any acts I've left off that people would recommened I see?

Lana Del Rey, FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, Janelle Monáe, Rosalía, Weyes Blood.... so many more 

Would love to see all of these at Reading. Feel like they really have messed up with the gender imbalance on this one.

I was hoping for The Regrettes

[dum surfer]

Yeah the lineup is sorely lacking lizzo, missed opportunity if they haven’t booked her.

Slowthai > Run the Jewels > IDLES > Rage, and the other days can get fucked

And Amyl and the sniffers. Slotface are about too. So many acts they could've gone for

I take this back.

Haha, in terms of headliners, it may quite possibly be looked at like that, but it won't be remembered for the undercard, that's for sure.

Whoever made this a week ago wasn’t a million miles away.. Do they know something could The Strokes and Wolf Alice get added later? That would save it for me.. 

Nah

Undercard is growing on me - lots of good singalong acts and the other stages are fun too, always a good headliner on for me (Fender, Rex/LG and Rage) plus like silent disco and everything in, I can see myself going

[TheWaters]

I think someone will slot above Gerry rather than a 3rd under him.

No chance. He’s absolutely massive at the moment and like it or not him before Liam makes a lot of sense audience wise. Not a fan at all but his placing will look spot on come the festival.

Who do you think could fit that gap at the moment?

Not really many female alternative artists around at the moment that are better than what we have now. Can't think of any that could greatly improve the line up.

Although I am surprised Wolf Alice aren't there, but maybe they'll be slotted in between D-Block Europe and Gerry.

Dua Lipa over Migos, Wolf Alice over Cinnamon, HAIM could’ve been in there too

[jonnyisRFC]

Creeper into Rage on my birthday at Reading will be fucking sick!

how poor is the Lock up stage though?

No Pale Waves either, was expecting a slot low on main for them

[frontsidecab]

I know they’re not around at the minute, there’s really no excuse to have never booked Florence + The Machine to headline or Paramore since After Laughter either

[Miller247]

Denzel Curry, Danny Brown, Run The Jewels and Rage are making me want to go!

JPEGMafia clashing with Denzel is absolutely criminal though

[cal321123]

Bc Blackbear is announced, think there's any chance TMG might join him as a guest? I know he's low down but they have a pretty popular song together and I would just love to see them

Every year people try say one of the subs isn't a sub and someone is going to slot in above them. It has never been the case.

I reckon a lot of acts are just not around late summer. Makes sense why all the August festivals have gone balls to the wall to get rage. Imagine if Rage continued as they were and didn’t plan to come to Europe in 2020? I honestly reckon Courteeners would have headlined 

[jumperofftheshelf]

Migos subheadlining Leeds in 2020 when they could’ve booked Lizzo or Dua Lipa or another woman to fill that slot is criminal

In terms of alternative rock, which is what I presume people want to see more of on the line up, there isn't much great stuff out there in general, either male or female.

But yeah I'm surprised they don't have a Billie/Charlie/Dua type booking this year.

[jamieaslee]

There's quite a few more main stage slots tbf. Roughly 9 more spread across the weekend? - One of which I would guess is either NBT or Wolf Alice 3rd down on the LG day.

wishful thinking Re IDLES/ RATM...

IDLES | 20:15 - 21:10

RATM | 21:40 - 23:00
