Lineup 2020

[Dukey]

I do feel this will go ahead but with a changed lineup - be very surprised if the likes of Rage, RTJ and Migos fly over

MCRRRRRRR TO HEADLINEEEEE, or Biffy which is the more logical option

Rage and RTJ's first date of the tour is Leeds on 28th Aug so I think it's way too early to judge, will have to see what the situation in Europe is like. 

Hopefully Italy's decline in new deaths yesterday is a positive sign. Let's stay optimistic!

This has also raised a great point about just how many of the top acts are British this year. I remember looking at 2018's lineup and Courteeners were the highest placed British artist on the bill. Now it's stacked with big British names from lots of genres!

If Rage pull out hopefully they'll bring someone in to replace them rather than - god help us all - bumping The Courteeners up to headline.

Maybe Biffy can headline.

If Download gets cancelled I wonder if they'd snag one of their headliners. SOAD perhaps? Four piece alt metal band from LA with politically charged lyrics after all.

Hope not. They were awful the last time they played and didn’t look slightly arsed about it

bring me make sense, in europe, right size, would probably do it

Bring me are not the right size because they headlined all points east last year. 

[Dukey]

Could see something like 

BMTH or Biffy//Courteeners//Idles

If Rage and RTJ do pull out

and then Capaldi subs Stormzy if Migos pullout

Some weird shouts here. They won’t be replacing American acts with American acts.

bring me can't co-head it let alone do it outright, they aren't near the size of recent new headliners like 21p/1975

BMTH can comfortably co-headline R&L. It’s not as if they’re a Brixton band, is it.

They might be one next time out, now you mention it. I don’t think they sold out either Ally Pally date and then you could have fit all of their pre-giveaway APE ticket holders into Brixton.

If Rage pull out, I reckon the fest might get cancelled actually

One band does not make a festival.

But if Rage do actually drop out will RTJ follow as they are supposed to be touring with Rage,

that would be two significant gaps to fill

Like 80% of the audience don't care about them anyway. Considering the Killers dates are all going to get cancelled maybe draw them in for example to play. Would mean older people who wanted to see RATM would be reasonably happy and so would younger people. Or like Kasabian or someone

They’re easily fillable. As has already been said, out of RATM and RTJ and the other headliners and third downs, they’re certainly the pairing least appealing to the R&L core audience. If they drop out the fest will be fine (if it goes ahead at all). 

[R Shah]

With the sheer amount of tours that have been put early August, I'm feeling confident. Reckon they'll make the call in the first week of August. We shall see.

A lot of the new additions will be British artists I suspect.

[Jericode]

New All Time Low album is shaping up to be brilliant, feel like they should have been in a higher slot now.

[TheWaters]

Rage are going to pull out and be replaced by Foals. R&L will then be renamed TRNSMT South and TRNSMT North. The actual TRNSMT festival will become TRNSMT Very North. I’m calling it now.

If Glastonbury was on this year it would have been called trnsmt west.
