Has there ever been a more odd pairing for headliner and sub than RATM and Courteeners? The Libertines and Kendrick in 2015, maybe, or The Cure and Paramore in 2012.

Mackelmore before Blink in 2014 was pretty odd

Someone earlier pointed out that D-Block Europe aren't named in their own font like TDCC and RTJ are, so maybe someone could be slotted in there. If so, perhaps Wolf Alice?

Would take that they would be great!

2018 had some odd pairings too, like Travis into FOB and Panic into Kendrick.

Usually they like to get subs that complement the headliners. To be fair Stormzy/Migos and Liam/Gerry works well.

Summer sessions.

It's not in August this year, it's in June.

 

Could be a one off in Glasgow Green tho maybe

Not sure if I’m reading too much into this but there’s a bit of space between Stormzy and Migos and Gerry and D Block on the poster. Does this suggest someone could still be announced to fill in there?

Could be wishful thinking, but anything's possible

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

Reckon they'll likely be taken at least in part by Leeds friendly bands who have hype or new music that would play somewhere in the middle, would be willing to take an educated guess that VANT, Neck Deep, SWMRS and wolf Alice could take nearly half of those slots... Or at least 3 of them

Can anyone tell me how many if any potential big slots are left to fill on the main stage or even high up on bbc radio 1 stage? Hoping the 2nd wave of acts brings more heavier bands please! 

Always nine acts on the main stage per day so there's still three acts to be added to each day, so nine more to go on the mainstage including an act that'll play third down under Gerry Cinnamon and there's plenty to go on the rest of the line up

[theesundayroast]

Was really expecting to see Neck Deep on this.

Perhaps they'll come later though

[frontsidecab]

I hope Wolf Alice avoid this, get a new album out and take a sub slot next year.

I have just seen in the glasto thread that there are gigs scheduled at bellahouston park in August.

True them 2 acts their under card works very well same type of genre and great for fans of it too. I don't get why they shouldn't alaways try to do that instead of randomly placing anyone in the spot before the headliner

Cannot wait for the day when we get to see them headline.

Could that even be a 2021 possibility if the new album takes off well?

Feel like they'll announce the new album and drop a single or two first.
I'm honestly expecting a secret set at Slam Dunk from them.

Thanks mate that actually gives it a good bit of hope especially regards the main stage! A few more acts for the pit too

Who are you hoping for on the pit?

Don't think so. They moved the Greenday gig from there to Glasgow Green due to flooding or something. Also the Post Malone and Guns n Roses gigs are at Glasgow Green not Bellahouston. As i say it could be a gig at Glasgow Green in August but doubt it'll be under the Summer Sessions banner or at Bellahouston.

[theesundayroast]

Still wondering what @Gerard the Fab thinks of all of this.

You haven't left due to the lack of MCR and the Fratellis right?

[jonnyisRFC]

Yeah I’d have bet money on neck deep playing.

Who knows really! Second album did better than the first which is a good sign! Don’t Delete The Kisses is arguably their biggest song. I’ve got faith that they can deliver but even a slot in the dark like Royal Blood had last year would be awesome.

[gfa]

Didn't someone mention Lizzo before and she didn't get announced? Would love the slot to be filled by Brockhampton too but not sure if there would be 3 hiphop/rap acts in a row on the mainstage, guess they could be delayed waiting for their May tour to sell out completely (although it almost has right now) Ladbrokes said Vaccines were highest odds and they were never announced so maybe thats for them - no dates yet this year though which seems kind of strange although it seems as though they have side projects right now.

Yup! I had to suffer Macklemore so I could be near the front for Blink lol

Would be ideal. 

Would IDLES clash with RTJ then though?

Nah would make Idles clash with Courteeners and The Hunna largely clash with RTJ

[jcarb]

How R&L could make up for the dogshit line up, a Slipknot secret set?
I mean if they strip back the stage like that Maida Vale show it could be a thing.

[ob123]

We’re the hell are Sundara Karma, The Vaccines, Nothing but Thieves and Vistas ffs

Disgraceful that RATM are the only Hispanic hard rock band on the line-up.

Apparently someone called them a white guitar band on Twitter last night, haha.
