I think Bastille/Courteeners with Wombats would go down really well. Other choices maybe George Ezra, Noel Gallagher (maybe too old though with their whole new music thing but would be great). I think if the wombats weren't doing Reading this year then they could headline probably, maybe next album I guess but would love to see them headline it. Foals would definitely be fine without Wombats, I'd currently say Wombats are probably too strong for sub unless its an underwhelming headliner. Would honestly love to see them make Community a two day event and make it maybe one larger artist like Foals on the Sunday as its a worse day for sales and then a smaller one like wombats on Saturday but sell only two day tickets at least till a month before it would work well, I think they are already kind of struggling to get suitable headliners as few bands are rising quickly for their new artists kind of thing. Sort of like Neighbourhood Weekender I guess. 2020 - Foals full headline OR George Ezra, Bastille or Courteeners with Wombats special guest 2021 - Blossoms/Catfish or above who didn't do it ^ Not a fan of Wolf Alice and not really that classic community indie pop I guess, not nearly as well known as any of the current headliners we have had but may be on the way, not really a listener to be honest. Can see catfish back although may be too big by 2021if they aren't already now. Surely not 2020 as that will be their 4th london fest in a row and you can tell with Citadel that the sales are dropping off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess i just want an early summer festival that can get the big TRNSMT names down south (well like last year's anyway hah) that isn't Glastonbury. Wonder if they will put Community on glastonbury's weekend again, seemed to sell well even though it was that weekend this year.

NerdsNatterings Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 What smaller acts could be there? Was kinda gutted I couldn't make it this year for Sea Girls and Academic who were both great when i'd seen them before. Would love to see YONAKA, LONA, Sunset Sons play, and could Royal Blood possibly headline? Bit heavier than the headliners they've had so far but I still could see it.

NickisGinger Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 This was my first Community after two years of pulling out last minute. Wasn’t sure what I was expecting but it was bloody great. Aside the great music, the best bit was finding the quiet green corner, through the trees, (top right of map). No queue for toilets/bars/food between acts. I would definitely up for George Ezra here next year.That’d be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced that Royal Blood are the right act, not really that classic singalong 5 years out of date indie that they go for. Would definitely put a lot of my friends off anyway. I reckon George must be in with a shout which i'm fine with, pleasantly surprised with his IoW set and would work well with the non-darkness curfew too.

BeddingatReading Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I reckon it’ll be one of the Gallagher brothers. Depends how much they’re willing to invest and other commitments. If Liam isn’t doing Reading and Community are willing to bring him in I’ll say him (but ticket prices will probably increase). If not then Noel has been quiet for a while, he’d probably be quite a bit cheaper but would still go down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 George Ezra, Foals, any Gallagher and Royal Blood are all too big for this fest. It'll be The Wombats or Bastille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like any of Noel Liam or Ezra or probably even Royal Blood is probably a bit optimistic. Noel and Ezra have both just done Isle of Wight so would be a huge get for Community. At the moment I think Wombats are possibly the most likely shout? Ideal for the festival, will be three years since they last played, and probably won't be too expensive. Would definitely be tempted if the undercard was as good as it has been so far. Also, who could do the 'heavy' spot this year? Feel like Frank Carter could be a shout, IDLES could if Reading don't get them on an exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it by then it will be a year and a half since their last London show which sold out i think so would definitely be alright. I would love it to be fair, although not too sure as their sounds of the city with circa waves too as support seems to have sold badly so not sure it would work great.

NickisGinger Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) So since Wireless has been announced as 3rd - 5th July 2020, I'd be guessing Community will be Sunday 28th June. Good back-up plan (again) if i'm not at Glastonbury ? Edited July 8, 2019 by NickisGinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Shah Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Really hope its moved to Saturday 27th because I don't see them pushing it back later than 9.30 sadly. Will still go either way though! Predictions - in order of likelihood Headliner: Courteeners, Wolf Alice, Foals, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wombats, Bring Me The Horizon Sub: Wolf Alice (if not headlining), Nothing But Thieves, Bastille, CHVRCHES, Bloc Party 3rd: Idles, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Shame, Deaf Havana Others: Sam Fender, Miles Kane, The Sherlocks, The Magic Gang, DMA'S, Johnny Marr, Pretty Vicious, Introspective 2nd stage headliner: Razorlight, The Night Cafe, Twin Atlantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally can't see Johnny Marr but would like to be proved wrong. Out of those, Wombats Bloc party Frank carter Sam fender Miles kane Sherlocks Then throw in yonaka and LONA to start the day off and I'd be there in a flash ??

Last 2 years they've picked a headliner (TDCC and Kooks) who are playing 3rd down main stage at Reading the year before - which Wombats are this year. Wombats would be a very perfect fit, just think Wolf Alice/Kaiser Chiefs/Courteeners/Foals more likely because they've headlined other festivals before. That said, TDCC and Kooks were both given (I think) their first festival headline slots for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Afro Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 My early stab in the dark prediction for 2020 (main stage only) The Wombats Bastille Deaf Havana DMA’s Fickle Friends Spector Arkells Zuzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector are probably around the size of a band who'd open the stage to be honest. I think the top end could be close to what we'll end up with (I'd expect Bastille to headline over Wombats possibly). Deaf Havana are a good shout for the 'heavy' slot too, not sure who else could fit there (maybe Frank Carter or Idles?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I reckon Bastille should really be above Wombats - they would have to be billed as very special guest surely. I think Bastille makes sense as the sub given Community's genre but we'll have to see. IDLES would be a great pick with so much buzz around them right now and devoted fans.

Fuzzy Afro Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Yeah Bastille/Wombats is a 50/50 call. Only reason I reckon the Wombats are more popular in London is because their last two tours have seen them play Ally Pally and Wembley arena whereas Bastille played o2 Brixton. I like the pairing of them because it means you could have a Love Fame Tragedy secret set on the N4 stage in the early afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontsidecab Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Bastille definitely would headline over Wombats in my view. Blossoms and Vaccines as subs were also thirds at Reading so Bastille and Wombats as the top two make sense. Bastille, Wombats, Frank Carter & TRS, Declan McKenna, Sam Fender, DMAs, Yonaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Bastille only subbed Citadel remember - I'd put Wombats above them. @Fuzzy Afro I think that prediction is incredibly realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
