If they've only kept one headliner it cant be Gallagher AND Rage. Rage have headlined before too.

Big doubt on that one Dan.

Melvin's interview was all like "its a shame we can't get Rage again bla bla bla bla".... Imagine hes been having everyone on?

NME interview definitely made it sound like rage aren't coming back, "It would have been very special for me to see them again, but the great thing about Reading & Leeds is that it doesn’t stand still. You probably could have picked about 50-100 other acts that would have been more important to everyone else. We’re always happy to have a nod to the past, but we live in today and tomorrow. We never stop moving on."

Forgot about that 😭

That’s the only way I think that could be true. Or Dan’s having us on.

I think either Melvin or Dan is having us on.

Have to go back to work (running a bar on a Bank Holiday sucks) so here's your headliners...

LG // Billie Eilish // Lewis Capaldi // Panic at the Disco (unmentioned solo act, realised after it had been suggested) // Dua Lipa // RATM (yep)

 

Dan, if you’re lying I’m going to be so upset, I just want RATM that is it

[Jayden2304]

This sounds too good to be true

[Matt42]

I hope my negative energy has manifested into a lineup for the ages

[FeverDream]

Panic is such a stupid boring uninspired booking (I'm definitely 100% biased bc can't stand him) 

[justanothername]

Dan is having a wind up, no chance of Rage

[Matt42]

If Billie and rage don’t clash on days I’m buying a fucking weekend ticket

[Quorn]

Personally I can't see melvin lying like that, it brings the risk of letting down lots of people who didn't want them there and just makes him look bad

[NoBuses]

No rapper in 6 headliners? They must have strong ones as subs then.

Brendons a w*nker but they made great music back when it was a band

[NoBuses]

Not sure how that goes with Dans prepare for disappointment comment

They make better music now. They’re way better at making pop music than they were rock.

I can tolerate some of their older stuff but idk, it's just one of those bands I dislike and love to dislike typa thing. I'd be going to see someone else on another stage anyways so wouldn't bother me but if they have the chance to get BMTH, Foals etc (ik they've headlined before etc) it seems just weird 

[NoBuses]

Rage out for Courteeners and I reckon thats it

[Jericode]

Panic have gotten way better since it became just Brendon. They'd absolutely destroy a headline slot. 100% here for it.

It's not like Melvin has embellished the truth before and will most people even know/care about the 6 first time headliners thing anyways

They're not bad at pop stud (TWTLTRTD is a great album) but nothing can beat their earlier stuff imo.

Tuning in to Radio 1 early was a mistake. Foals and BMTH reading set being played as a tease to something so bitter being released later
