Lineup 2020

[VCK]

They're definitely playing third, they wouldn't place them in that position on the poster if they weren't.

What I'm wondering is how they're "special guests".

Same as Post Malone in 2018 I'd imagine.

They're definitely the size to sub although are being billed slightly lower and get that tag on their name.

Longer set than Migos?  Think they only did about 3 'songs' last time they turned up, if you could call it turning up

Rage clashing with IDLES is even more cruel than the Royal Blood/Chats clash last year.

I saw both the Chats and Royal Blood last year (in Reading)

[Oliver424]

On the poster where it says plus special guest next to migos and two door cinema club will that act be a guest of one of those like as part of their set or does it mean another artist is playing a set.

So they don't have to book a replacement when Migos pull out and can just bump them up 

[Dead throne]

y I k e s that is a bad lineup. 

Only like Cancer bats and RATM are ok I guess

[chazwwe]

Female representation is really poor. The choices between where acts are is also really weird. 

Will still probably get a day ticket for Sunday because RTJ and Rage is more than enough, but I'm not happy about it.

Who are you hoping for on the pit?

Id love to see the likes of Papa Roach again in there, Good Charlotte, New found Glory any of them would be nice additions. 

[VCK]

Rage are a four piece hard rock/metal band from Los Angeles, and they are being subbed by an Indie rock act from Manchester.

Liam Gallagher is an Indie rock act from Manchester...anyone think of any four piece hard rock/metal bands from Los Angeles that can be slotted in to sub him, to balance the imbalance?

The fact Papa Roach are touring and have not been added makes me think Slipknot have them on their tour. There is no way their addition as much as I love Jacoby that I would buy a ticket there though. The fewest amount of acts I've wanted to see at Reading ever.

I personally don't think the lineup is that bad at all... Just a shame there were some obvious female acts they could've potentially booked in some fairly big spots - Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Peggy Gou, Hayley Williams, Megan Thee Stallion, Rita Ora, Halsey, FKA Twigs, Alessia Cara, Tinashe, Saweetie, Arlo Parks, Girl Ray,  Rews...

Other than that though was really hoping to see The Vaccines, Nothing But Thieves, Brockhampton, S-X and Everyone You Know get announced! The dance stage too looks very weak.

I mean it isn't the worst lineup but there are definitely some acts they have missed out on (so far).

 

If Rita Ora ever plays Reading Festival I think a small part of me would die. 
 

This isn’t Party In The Park or Capital Radio’s Summertime Ball.

 

[Calebwa]

Biffy Secret set then...

"sorry we don't value you as a higher placed act, even though you've sold out bigger shows since then, so here you are being a special guest with a slightly longer than normal set for third down"

Made a quick mock clash finder based on last years times and put acts where I think they’ll be with which gaps are still to be filled etc.

Where is this? I cant find it on the Clashfinder site 

[tomnw]

NME Awards tomorrow has a better lineup!

[Andre91]

I've just had a quick listen to Tom Grennan, Dermot Kennedy and Sam Fender and they are the same thing.

[The All Round Ball :|]

if IDLES and Rage clash then not sure what i would do. There my most wanted to see for that day so would be shit. Hopefully they dont fuck us with this.

[Dukey]

Surely there's no way either Idles or Fever 333 will clash with Rage

[jamieaslee]

If 1xtra finishes early Stormzy day that's not too bad actually

Something like 

As It Is / All Time Low / Hybrid Minds / Denzel / Stormzy or Jpeg

Not a bad day...

I presume Fever 333 will close early and Idles will clash with them and finish just as Rage starts. No way that those 3 don't cross over in some way. 

[The All Round Ball :|]

Also the issue with looking at last years Sunday at Reading is Foos had a 2.5 hour set so there was defo going to be some clashes. Where I dont think Rage will have that big of a set time so I feel IDLES and Rage wont clash. Idles will finish as Rage is about to start? 

[jonnyisRFC]

So far for me;

FRIDAY- Dune Rats, Sam Fender(Hoping they’ll add some decent names to the lock up)

 

SATURDAY- Cancer Bats, The Bronx, Gallows.

 

SUNDAY- Slowthai, Creeper, Fever 333, RATM.

Yep but that means its gonna be really difficult to get into a good spot by the time you're out of Idles. I think I'll skip them and just stay at main stage.
